Les d\u00e9buts de Matt Hughes aux Jeux <\/span>olympiques \u00e0 Rio se sont av\u00e9r\u00e9s d’autant plus m\u00e9morables qu’il a fini 10e, le meilleur r\u00e9sultat jamais obtenu par le Canada au 3000 m steeplechase chez les hommes. Hughes a ensuite am\u00e9lior\u00e9 ce r\u00e9sultat historique du Canada \u00e0 Tokyo 2020 en terminant sixi\u00e8me \u00e0 la finale du 3000m steeplechase. Sa premi\u00e8re sortie \u00e0 titre d’olympien, Hughes l’attendait depuis longtemps puisque celui-ci a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 ses premiers Championnats du monde de World Athletics en 2011,\u00a0 mais n’a pas r\u00e9alis\u00e9 les crit\u00e8res de qualification olympique requis en vue de Londres 2012.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cette d\u00e9ception est vite devenue sa plus grande source de motivation. Aux Championnats du monde de World Athletics de 2013, il a r\u00e9\u00e9crit le record canadien de l\u2019\u00e9preuve du 3000 m steeplechase en terminant au sixi\u00e8me\u00a0rang.<\/span><\/p>\n

Son chrono de 8:11,64 remplace celui de 8:12,58 de Graeme Fell qui tenait depuis 1985. Apr\u00e8s avoir rat\u00e9 de peu le podium des Jeux du Commonwealth en 2014, Matt a atteint la plus haute marche de l\u2019\u00e9preuve du 3000 m steeplechase aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains devant son co\u00e9quipier Alex Genest. Il a accompagn\u00e9 cette victoire d\u2019une huiti\u00e8me place aux Championnats du monde de World Athletics de 2015. <\/span>Hughes a prolong\u00e9 sa s\u00e9quence de participations cons\u00e9cutives aux Championnats du monde de World Athletics en 2017 quand il a fini sixi\u00e8me \u00e0 Londres. T\u00f4t en 2018, Hughes a pris la quatri\u00e8me place aux Jeux du Commonwealth \u00e0 Gold Coast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

En 2010, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 sacr\u00e9 premier champion de la NCAA d\u2019athl\u00e9tisme \u00e0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Louisville. En 2011, il a d\u00e9fendu avec brio son titre de champion de la NCAA au 3000 m steeplechase.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Hughes est six fois champion canadien (2013 \u00e0 2015 et 2017 \u00e0 2019).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c0 propos de Matt<\/b><\/h3>\n

D\u00e9buts :<\/b>\u00a0Il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 faire de la course sur piste en troisi\u00e8me ann\u00e9e parce qu\u2019il aimait sortir de l\u2019\u00e9cole et \u00eatre le premier arriv\u00e9 au terrain de jeu. Il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 se consacrer \u00e0 la course d\u2019obstacles \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cole secondaire.\u00a0<\/span>Autres int\u00e9r\u00eats :<\/b>\u00a0Il aime faire la sieste et jouer au hockey et au golf\u2026 En 2012, il a obtenu son baccalaur\u00e9at en enseignement et sciences du sport de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Louisville. <\/span>De tout et de rien\u00a0<\/b>: Il a conserv\u00e9 les dossards de toutes ses courses. Son dicton favori : \u00ab\u00a0Rien ne remplace le travail\u00a0\u00bb<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
