Jeux de la XVIIe<\/sup>\u00a0Olympiade<\/h2>\n

Plus d\u2019un demi-si\u00e8cle apr\u00e8s avoir renonc\u00e9 aux Jeux olympiques de 1908 en raison de l\u2019\u00e9ruption du V\u00e9suve, Rome a mis \u00e0 profit ses si\u00e8cles d\u2019Histoire en pr\u00e9sentant plusieurs \u00e9preuves sportives des Jeux olympiques de 1960 dans des lieux mill\u00e9naires. Les \u00e9preuves de lutte ont \u00e9t\u00e9 disput\u00e9es dans la Basilique de Maxence et Constantin qui \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 le th\u00e9\u00e2tre de matchs de lutte 2000 ans auparavant. Les \u00e9preuves de gymnastique \u00e9taient disput\u00e9es aux thermes de Caracalla et le marathon se terminait \u00e0 l\u2019Arc de Constantin. C\u2019\u00e9tait aussi le premier marathon pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 de nuit, et l\u2019\u00c9thiopien Abebe Bikila a \u00e9t\u00e9 sacr\u00e9 premier champion olympique africain, tous sports confondus, lorsqu\u2019il en a d\u00e9croch\u00e9 l\u2019or au terme d\u2019une course pieds nus.<\/p>\n

Les Jeux de Rome ont \u00e9t\u00e9 les derniers \u00e0 autoriser la pr\u00e9sence de l\u2019Afrique du Sud dont le CIO a interdit la participation pendant 32 ans en condamnation de ses politiques d\u2019apartheid. Pour la premi\u00e8re fois, les Jeux ont \u00e9t\u00e9 t\u00e9l\u00e9diffus\u00e9s en direct dans 18 pays d\u2019Europe, et en diff\u00e9r\u00e9 au Canada, aux \u00c9tats-Unis et au Japon. Les spectateurs ont assist\u00e9 \u00e0 la naissance d\u2019une l\u00e9gende quand le boxeur Cassius Clay a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or dans la cat\u00e9gorie des poids lourds avant de passer chez les professionnels et d\u2019adopter le nom Mohammed Ali.<\/p>\n

Le Canada a connu sa pire performance aux Jeux d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 en ne ramenant au pays qu\u2019une seule m\u00e9daille, l\u2019argent du huit de pointe masculin. Le nageur Richard Pound<\/a>, membre du CIO de longue date, avait alors termin\u00e9 au sixi\u00e8me rang de l\u2019\u00e9preuve du 100 m libre. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 le premier Canadien \u00e0 atteindre la finale du 100 m depuis 1928, et le dernier avant 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
