Robina Higgins a \u00e9tabli un record des Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique par plus de 20 pieds pour mettre la main sur la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or au lancer du javelot pour le Canada aux Jeux de 1938 \u00e0 Sydney en Australie.<\/i><\/p>\n

De 1935 \u00e0 1940, Robina Higgins a domin\u00e9 les \u00e9preuves f\u00e9minines de pelouse au Canada. Sp\u00e9cialiste des lancers, elle a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or pour le Canada au javelot (en plus d\u2019\u00e9tablir un record des Jeux par plus de 20 pieds) aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique de 1938 \u00e0 Sydney en Australie, la victoire la plus prestigieuse de sa carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n

Originaire de Winnipeg, les premiers pas de Higgins aux \u00e9preuves de lancers se sont faits alors qu\u2019elle jouait au baseball avant de faire la transition aux lancers du javelot, du poids, du disque et de la balle de baseball. Au cours de sa br\u00e8ve carri\u00e8re, elle a remport\u00e9 neuf titres nationaux dans chacune de ces quatre disciplines, en plus d\u2019\u00e9tablir plusieurs records canadiens au passage. Elle a \u00e9tabli une marque canadienne au lancer du javelot en 1938 qui a tenue jusqu\u2019en 1952.<\/p>\n

Higgins troquait ses activit\u00e9s estivales pour le basketball pendant l\u2019hiver, \u00e9voluant comme arri\u00e8re au sein de la formation du Dominion Business College et o\u00f9 elle a remport\u00e9 cinq championnats locaux et provinciaux cons\u00e9cutifs. Elle a mis un terme \u00e0 sa carri\u00e8re sportive en 1940, a travaill\u00e9 comme st\u00e9nographe pendant la Guerre, avant de s\u2019adonner au golf et au curling.<\/p>\n

En 1937, Higgins a re\u00e7u le troph\u00e9e Velma-Springstead \u00e0 titre d\u2019Athl\u00e8te f\u00e9minine par excellence au pays. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9e au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1961, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports du Manitoba en 1984 et au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens en 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
