Original Toronto Star caption: On the limp? Under proper conditions; Canada's Nancy Greene would be a favorite to win a gold medal in the Winter Olympics. But conditions are far from proper for 24-year-old skier; defending world champion. She's been limping for weeks with an ankle injury and it is doubtful if it has healed.
