Le Canadien Ken Read a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 trois descentes \u00e0 ses d\u00e9buts olympiques \u00e0 Innsbruck 1976<\/a>. Dans la descente masculine, il a termin\u00e9 au cinqui\u00e8me rang, \u00e0 0.24 seconde de la m\u00e9daille de bronze, alors que seulement 1:10 minute s\u00e9parait la premi\u00e8re de la cinqui\u00e8me place. Il n’a pas conclu les \u00e9preuves du slalom et du slalom g\u00e9ant. Ses performances hallucinantes au cours de la saison 1979-1980 de la Coupe du monde ont fait de lui l’un des favoris pour remporter la m\u00e9daille d’or \u00e0 Lake Placid 1980<\/a>. Toute l’attention \u00e9tait sur Read, sp\u00e9cialement apr\u00e8s qu’il eut \u00e9t\u00e9 le porte-drapeau du Canada \u00e0 la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie d’ouverture de ces Jeux. Avec seulement 15 secondes d’\u00e9coul\u00e9es dans sa descente olympique, les fixations de ses bottes se sont d\u00e9tach\u00e9es et ses Jeux olympiques se sont ainsi termin\u00e9s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read a \u00e9t\u00e9 un membre de l’\u00e9quipe canadienne de ski de la fin des ann\u00e9es 1970 et du d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1980, qui \u00e9tait aussi connue sous le nom de \u00ab Crazy Canucks<\/em> \u00bb pour leur style de course t\u00e9m\u00e9raire. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 le premier non-Europ\u00e9en et le premier Nord-Am\u00e9ricain \u00e0 remporter une Coupe du monde en descente masculine, soit en 1975, \u00e0 Val-d’Is\u00e8re en France; et un de quatre Canadiens \u00e0 avoir termin\u00e9 parmi les 10 meilleurs cette journ\u00e9e-l\u00e0. Read a remport\u00e9 quatre autres courses en Coupe du monde de ski alpin dans sa carri\u00e8re, \u00e9tant notamment le premier non-Europ\u00e9en \u00e0 remporter la descente de l\u2019\u00e9tape autrichienne de Hahnenkamm (Kitzb\u00fchel) ainsi que l\u2019\u00e9tape suisse de Lauberhorn (Wengen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lev\u00e9 dans les villes de Vancouver, Kingston et Calgary. Il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 skier \u00e0 l’\u00e2ge de trois ans et a d\u00e9but\u00e9 la comp\u00e9tition d\u00e8s l’\u00e2ge de huit ans. Read a \u00e9t\u00e9 un membre de l’\u00e9quipe nationale de ski de 1974 \u00e0 1983 d\u00e9crochant cinq titres de Champion canadien au cours de sa longue carri\u00e8re d’une d\u00e9cennie. Malgr\u00e9 la rigueur et les d\u00e9placements associ\u00e9s \u00e0 son calendrier de comp\u00e9tition, Read a poursuivi ses \u00e9tudes chaque ann\u00e9e qu’il a ski\u00e9 \u00e0 l’acception d’une seule saison, avant de terminer un baccalaur\u00e9at \u00e0 l’Universit\u00e9 Western Ontario. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s qu\u2019il ait accroch\u00e9 ses skis en 1983, Read est devenu analyste \u00e0 la t\u00e9l\u00e9vision, chroniqueur de ski dans des magazines et dans le Calgary Herald <\/em>et a cr\u00e9\u00e9 la comp\u00e9tition de ski \u00ab Breath of Life \u00bb qui a amass\u00e9 des millions de dollars pour la recherche en fibrose kystique. Deux films ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9s \u00e0 propos des \u00ab Crazy Canucks<\/em> \u00bb, soit le documentaire \u00ab The Dream Never Dies<\/em> \u00bb (1980) ainsi que le film \u00ab Crazy Canucks<\/em> \u00bb (2004).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Install\u00e9 \u00e0 Calgary et \u00e0 Canmore en Alberta, Read a \u00e9pous\u00e9 Lynda Robbins, une ancienne membre de l’\u00e9quipe nationale de ski. Le couple a eu trois fils, tous skieurs. Le cadet, Erik<\/a>, a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 PyeongChang 2018<\/a>, alors que Kevyn a ski\u00e9 au Dartmouth College et Jeffrey faisait partie du programme de d\u00e9veloppement canadien. En 2006, il est devenu copropri\u00e9taire du complexe de ski du mont Norquay dans le Parc national de Banff. De 2002 \u00e0 2008, Read a servi \u00e0 titre de pr\u00e9sident et chef de la direction de Canada Alpin. Read a remport\u00e9 le Troph\u00e9e Lou Marsh en 1978 et le prix de l’Athl\u00e8te amateur masculin de l’ann\u00e9e au Canada en 1980. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada (1984), au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens (1985), au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e du ski du Canada (1986) et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e international de ski alpin en 2010. En 2006, en compagnie de quatre de ses co\u00e9quipiers des \u00ab Crazy Canucks<\/em> \u00bb, Read a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 \u00e0 l’All\u00e9e des c\u00e9l\u00e9brit\u00e9s canadiennes.
