Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Bending over backwards: Cindy Shatto of Toronto dips her head into a downturn last night in the final of Olympic platform diving. Miss Shatto was in second place after three dives, but fell back to fifth at the end, one rank ahead of teammate Teri York of Vancouver. Elena Vaytsekhovskaia of the Soviet Union, who said she took to diving because swimming is dull, was gold medalist.
