Original Toronto Star caption: Canadian champ on the move. Water skier George Athans is defending his professional water skiing championship on weekend at Centre Island while pursuing three careers, a skier, student and apprentice film-maker. Athans, 22, doesn't want to be selling skis when competitive ays are over and knows his sport still can't command superstar attention. He won world title in 1971 and came home to dismal press coverage.
