\u00c0 Barcelone 1992<\/a>, Derek Porter a \u00e9t\u00e9 membre de la formation du huit masculin du Canada qui a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or par 0.14 seconde dans la finale la plus serr\u00e9e de l\u2019histoire olympique en aviron. Apr\u00e8s ces Jeux, la majorit\u00e9 des rameurs ont pris leur retraite et Porter s\u2019est tourn\u00e9 vers le skiff \u2013 passant ainsi d\u2019un \u00e0 deux avirons. \u00c0 Atlanta 1996<\/a>, Porter \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 champion du monde du skiff et il \u00e9tait le grand favori pour l\u2019or. Il menait la finale olympique sur les 1500 premiers m\u00e8tres jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce que le Suisse Xeno Muller le d\u00e9passe dans les 500 derniers m\u00e8tres. Porter a tenu le coup pour d\u00e9crocher l\u2019argent, battant son idole, l\u2019Allemand Thomas Lange, par 0.32 seconde. L\u2019\u00e9preuve du skiff \u00e0 Sydney 2000<\/a> \u00e9tait l\u2019une des plus attendues en aviron cette ann\u00e9e-l\u00e0, en raison du grand nombre de champions pr\u00e9sents. Il a finalement r\u00e9pondu aux attentes, puisque Porter a termin\u00e9 au pied du podium en quatri\u00e8me place dans la course de skiff la plus serr\u00e9e de l\u2019histoire alors que seulement deux secondes s\u00e9paraient le premier du quatri\u00e8me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membre de l\u2019\u00e9quipe nationale d\u2019aviron de 1989 \u00e0 2000, Porter a \u00e9volu\u00e9 avec le huit masculin aux Championnats du monde et il a \u00e9t\u00e9 champion du monde de skiff en 1993, puis m\u00e9daill\u00e9 de bronze en 1999. Il \u00e9tait membre du huit qui a remport\u00e9 deux m\u00e9dailles d\u2019argent de suite aux Championnats du monde, en 1990 et 1991. Apr\u00e8s Atlanta en 1996, Porter s\u2019est concentr\u00e9 sur ses \u00e9tudes en chiropractie \u00e0 Toronto et a termin\u00e9 12e et 13e aux Championnats du monde 1997 et 1998, respectivement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malgr\u00e9 le fait que le p\u00e8re de Porter, Hugh, a \u00e9t\u00e9 m\u00e9daill\u00e9 de bronze avec le huit masculin aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 1958 avec l\u2019Angleterre, il n\u2019est pas mont\u00e9 dans une embarcation avant sa deuxi\u00e8me ann\u00e9e d\u2019universit\u00e9 quand il a \u00e9t\u00e9 remis en contact avec le sport par le champion olympique du huit masculin Grant Main<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porter a grandi \u00e0 Victoria, en Colombie-Britannique et a d\u00e9croch\u00e9 un baccalaur\u00e9at en sciences de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Victoria. Apr\u00e8s une carri\u00e8re de 12 ans virtuellement sans blessure, ce que Porter attribue principalement aux soins proactifs chiropratiques, il a poursuivi une carri\u00e8re comme chiropraticien, \u00e9tant dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 en 1998 du Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC). Porter a pris sa retraite apr\u00e8s Sydney 2000 et apr\u00e8s une br\u00e8ve tentative de retour \u00e0 la comp\u00e9tition en 2006, il s\u2019est install\u00e9 \u00e0 Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique, avec sa femme Helen Rhee-Porter et leur enfant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porter est devenu membre du Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada (1994), du Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de la Colombie-Britannique (1996), du Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens (2012) et du Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de Victoria (2013), en plus d\u2019\u00eatre re\u00e7u au sein de l\u2019Ordre de la Colombie-Britannique en 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
