Tom Ramshaw a fait sa premi\u00e8re apparition aux Jeux olympiques \u00e0 Rio en 2016, seulement un an apr\u00e8s avoir compl\u00e9t\u00e9 sa transition du Laser \u00e0 la cat\u00e9gorie plus technique du Finn. M\u00eame si ces deux embarcations sont des d\u00e9riveurs solitaires, la courbe d\u2019apprentissage pour piloter le Finn a \u00e9t\u00e9 abrupte. Il lui a fallu notamment apprendre \u00e0 ajuster le gr\u00e9ement et \u00e0 contr\u00f4ler la voile ad\u00e9quatement. Tom a d\u00fb ajouter pr\u00e8s de sept\u00a0kilogrammes \u00e0 sa masse musculaire afin d\u2019\u00eatre en mesure de piloter son Finn convenablement. Cette transition lui a apport\u00e9 beaucoup de motivation. \u00c0 sa premi\u00e8re \u00e9preuve, les Championnats nord-am\u00e9ricains en ao\u00fbt\u00a02015, il s\u2019est retrouv\u00e9 sur la premi\u00e8re marche du podium.<\/p>\n
En janvier 2016, il a termin\u00e9 13e \u00e0 la Coupe du monde de Miami, qualifiant ainsi une embarcation canadienne pour les Jeux olympiques. Il s\u2019est ensuite qualifi\u00e9 personnellement gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 sa huiti\u00e8me place \u00e0 la Coupe d\u2019or de Finn (l\u2019\u00e9quivalent des championnats du monde) en mai 2016. Ramshaw s’est qualifi\u00e9 pour la Course pour les m\u00e9dailles \u00e0 ses deuxi\u00e8mes Jeux olympiques \u00e0 Tokyo 2020, et il a termin\u00e9 parmi les dix meilleurs, le meilleur r\u00e9sultat du Canada \u00e0 cette \u00e9preuve depuis Beijing 2008.<\/p>\n
En tant qu\u2019\u00e9toile montante, en 2011, Tom avait remport\u00e9 le Prix comm\u00e9moratif Nathan Cowan, d\u00e9cern\u00e9 au meilleur marin en d\u00e9veloppement de l\u2019ann\u00e9e. En 2012, apr\u00e8s s\u2019\u00eatre joint \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9quipe nationale, il a re\u00e7u le Prix comm\u00e9moratif Marvin McDill d\u00e9cern\u00e9 \u00e0 la recrue de l\u2019ann\u00e9e. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 athl\u00e8te de l\u2019ann\u00e9e de Voile Canada en 2018.<\/p>\n
