Off like a shot

Original Toronto Star caption: Off like a shot: Four members of the Canadian track team for the Commonwealth Games practise coming out of the blocks in Edmonton. Left to right are Desai Williams, Dan Biochii, Marv Nash and Marjorie Bailey. Official opening ceremonies are scheduled for next Thursday, but there has been some concern voiced over the appearance of all the African nations. After Nigeria's shock pullout, organizers are worried that other African teams may not appear.
