Suite \u00e0 une tentative \u00e0 3,85 m (12-pieds-5\u00bd) \u00e0 Stockholm 1912<\/a>, le perchiste canadien Bill Halpenny s\u2019est fractur\u00e9 deux c\u00f4tes en perdant l\u2019\u00e9quilibre \u00e0 l\u2019atterrissage, ce qui l\u2019a forc\u00e9 \u00e0 se retirer de la comp\u00e9tition. Apr\u00e8s avoir remarqu\u00e9 des anomalies dans la zone de r\u00e9ception, le Comit\u00e9 international olympique lui a d\u00e9cern\u00e9 une m\u00e9daille de bronze sp\u00e9ciale pour ses r\u00e9alisations. Halpenny s\u2019\u00e9tait pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment taill\u00e9 un poste au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipe olympique pour St-Louis 1904<\/a>, mais sa perche \u2013 qui avait \u00e9t\u00e9 exp\u00e9di\u00e9e en train \u2013 n\u2019\u00e9tait pas arriv\u00e9e avant le d\u00e9but de son \u00e9preuve olympique. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 forc\u00e9 de disputer la comp\u00e9tition avec une perche qu\u2019il avait emprunt\u00e9e dans comp\u00e9tition hors concours, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e dans le cadre de l\u2019Exposition universelle. Il a termin\u00e9 au quatri\u00e8me rang avec un saut de 3,35 m (11 pieds) et peu importe si son apparition en 1904 a compt\u00e9, il est devenu le tout premier athl\u00e8te olympique de l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 la participation de Phil McDonald aux Jeux olympiques de 1924 \u00e0 Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Athl\u00e8te complet, Halpenny excellait au saut en hauteur, au saut en longueur, au triple saut et aux haies, mais c\u2019\u00e9tait au saut \u00e0 la perche qu\u2019il s\u2019est v\u00e9ritablement d\u00e9marqu\u00e9 et qu\u2019il a connu le plus de succ\u00e8s. En 1901, il a abaiss\u00e9 le record des Maritimes au saut \u00e0 la perche gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une performance de 3,07 m (10-pieds-1). Surnomm\u00e9 \u00ab Boy Wonder<\/em> \u00bb (Jeune prodige) par les journalistes locaux, Halpenny a continu\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9tablir de nouvelles marques canadiennes \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur et \u00e0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur au cours des trois ann\u00e9es suivantes. Halpenny a d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al en 1905 pour se joindre au club sportif MAAA. Bien qu\u2019il n\u2019ait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 en mesure de se qualifier pour les Jeux de Londres en 1908, il a remport\u00e9 les titres des Championnats am\u00e9ricains et canadiens peu de temps apr\u00e8s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale, Halpenny est devenu entra\u00eeneur au Club d\u2019athl\u00e9tisme d’Abegweit. Alors \u00e2g\u00e9 de 40 ans et devant 3000 spectateurs, Halpenny a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 d\u2019effectuer un dernier saut dans le but de reconqu\u00e9rir son record des Maritimes qu\u2019il avait \u00e9tabli 19 ans plut\u00f4t, ce qu\u2019il a fait en effectuant un saut de 3,47 m (11-pieds-4 \u00bd), fracassant la marque pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente de neuf centim\u00e8tres (3,5 po). Il est ensuite devenu Directeur de l\u2019\u00e9ducation physique au League of the Cross Gymnasium, o\u00f9 il a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 les fructueux programmes en gymnastique, basketball, volleyball et de conditionnement physique. Il a v\u00e9cu le reste de sa vie \u00e0 Charlottetown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 1976, Sport PEI a institu\u00e9 le troph\u00e9e Bill Halpenny pour r\u00e9compenser les athl\u00e8tes de l’\u00cele pour leurs performances exceptionnelles au niveau sportif sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale. Halpenny a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard en 1970 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1979.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
