Petr Barna of Czechoslovakia, who faltered on a quadruple jump attempt, was second with another Soviet, Viacheslav Zagorodniuk, third.Petrenko used a difficult triple axel-triple toe loop jump combination to help capture the free program, which brought him from second place following the original program. He had four other clean triple jumps to a medley of music from Chopin and Verdi.
