Lorne Loomer, qui \u00e9tait connu comme le \u00ab moteur tranquille \u00bb, a commenc\u00e9 comme rempla\u00e7ant du huit de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique (UBC) et, dans le cadre de leur entra\u00eenement, les membres de cette \u00e9quipe ont particip\u00e9 aux Essais olympiques canadiens du quatre sans barreur, qu\u2019ils ont remport\u00e9. Ils ont ensuite repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le Canada \u00e0 Melbourne 1956<\/a>. En finale olympique, la course pour l\u2019or a \u00e9t\u00e9 sans \u00e9quivoque. Loomer, chef de nage de l\u2019\u00e9quipe surnomm\u00e9e \u00ab Cendrillon 4<\/em> \u00bb avec Don Arnold, Walter d\u2019Hondt et Archie MacKinnon<\/a>, a pris les devants \u00e0 mi-chemin, l\u2019emportant par 10 secondes sur les Am\u00e9ricains. Il s\u2019agissait de la premi\u00e8re m\u00e9daille d\u2019or du Canada en aviron. D\u2019abord membre du huit \u00e0 Rome 1960<\/a>, Loomer a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve du deux sans barreur avec Keith Donald et ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9limin\u00e9s au premier tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avec le m\u00eame \u00e9quipage qui a d\u00e9croch\u00e9 l\u2019or aux Jeux de Melbourne, Loomer est mont\u00e9 sur la premi\u00e8re marche du podium apr\u00e8s une prestation dominante aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire et du Commonwealth britannique de 1958.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e9 \u00e0 Penticton, en Colombie-Britannique, Loomer a d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 avec sa famille \u00e0 Nelson, o\u00f9 il a pratiqu\u00e9 plusieurs sports, dont le baseball, le basketball et le curling. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00c9cole secondaire de Nelson en 1954 et peu de temps apr\u00e8s \u00eatre entr\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019UBC, Loomer a joint l\u2019\u00e9quipe d\u2019aviron. Dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 en pharmacie et en relations internationales, Loomer est rest\u00e9 impliqu\u00e9 en aviron, lan\u00e7ant le programme d\u2019aviron \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Victoria en 1963 et devenant son tout premier entra\u00eeneur. Avec une carri\u00e8re comme pharmacien, Loomer, qui voulait vraiment devenir b\u00e9d\u00e9iste, a \u00e9t\u00e9 un artiste accompli et a enseign\u00e9 des techniques de pinceau \u00e0 l\u2019\u00c9cole Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts pendant plusieurs ann\u00e9es. Loomer a \u00e9pous\u00e9 Elisabeth en 1963 et a eu deux filles. Son beau-fr\u00e8re Klaus Baess a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille de bronze olympique \u00e0 la voile pour le Danemark aux Jeux de Londres en 1948. \u00c0 53 ans, Loomer a subi un accident vasculaire c\u00e9r\u00e9bral qui l\u2019a temporairement emp\u00each\u00e9 de parler et de marcher, mais il a finalement recommenc\u00e9 \u00e0 ramer, ce qui l\u2019a aid\u00e9 \u00e0 marcher \u00e0 nouveau. Un bateau nomm\u00e9 en son honneur se trouve au Club d\u2019aviron de Nelson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loomer a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9, en compagnie de son \u00e9quipe gagnante de la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or, au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens en 1957, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1958, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de la Colombie-Britannique en 1966, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique en 1993 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e canadien d\u2019aviron en 2018. Individuellement, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Victoria en 2002.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
