LONDON CALLING: Sixteen McGillians headed to Summer Olympics
MONTREAL - A 16-member entourage from McGill University, including six athletes, is headed to London for the Summer Olympic Games, July 27 to Aug. 14.
Among the McGill graduates participating as athletes are former Redmen rowers Doug Vandor (BSc '98; MSc Experimental Surgery, '02) of Dewittville, Que., and Derek O'Farrell (BSc, Physiology, '07), a native of Toronto who resides in Montreal.
Victoria Poon, who swam for the Martlets from 2005 to 2007, will be competing, along with ex-Martlet volleyball star Marie-Andrée Lessard (BCom '01) who will be in the beach volleyball competition. Both hail from LaSalle, Que.
Also going is Martine Dugrenier of Laval, Que., a McGill grad (BEd '08) who wrestled at Concordia. The sixth Olympian is Montreal native Jo-Annie Fortin, a synchronized swimmer who was recently admitted to McGill and will be a psychology freshman in September.
Among the coaches and officials heading to England are a number of former prominent McGill athletes, including IOC member Richard Pound (swimmer, BCom'62, BCL'67) of Montreal and IOC director of legal affairs Howard Stupp (wrestler, BEng'78, LLB'83, BCL'83) of Laval, Que., in addition to modern pentathlon coach John Hawes (swimmer, BSc '72, DipEd '73) of Pointe Claire, Que., plus COC director of Olympic preparation & integrated planning Derek Covington (track & field; MA'92) of Montreal and physician Dr. Linda Thyer (track & cross-country; MDCM, 1994), who was born in Montreal and raised in Nelson, B.C.
Rounding out the squad of McGill grads is wrestling coach Victor Zilberman (MA '79) of Cote St. Luc, Que., Dr. Suzanne Leclerc (PhD '04) of Montreal, sports psychologist Dr. Wayne Halliwell (MA'73) of Beaconsfield, Que., assistant chef-de-mission Sylvie Bernier (MA '11) and Isabelle Pearson (BSc, MSc), head physiotherapist for the Canadian judo team, who is a faculty lecturer in McGill's school of physical & occupational therapy.
A couple of other grads who are also at the Games in an non-official capacity and not included in the McGillian count are Chantal Vallée (MSc '01) and Aly McPhee (BCom '10). Vallée, who served two years as an assistant coach with the basketball Martlets (1999 to 2001) will be working at the Games as a hoops analyst for CTV. McPhee, the daughter of former Montreal Canadiens forward Mike McPhee, was a track star at McGill and is working as a hostess at Canadian Olympic House in London.
The six athletes mentioned above are among 114 McGill students or grads that have gone on to Olympic glory over the past century. McGillians have won a combined total of 31 Olympic medals, including nine gold, eight silver and 14 bronze. Topping that list is the late Dr. Phil Edwards, a graduate from the faculty of medicine, who racked up five bronze medals while representing Canada at the Summer Games in Amsterdam (1928), Los Angeles (1932) and Berlin (1936).
He was the first Canadian male to win medals in three different Olympiads and his achievement stood for 66 years until matched by short-track speed-skater Marc Gagnon (1994, 1998, 2002; 3 golds, 2 bronzes).
Six McGill students have won Olympic gold but swimmer George Hodgson, who reached the top of the podium twice at Stockholm in 1912, is the only one to strike gold at the Summer Games.
McGillians have fared better at the Winter Olympics with hockey goaltender Kim St-Pierre earning gold at three Olympiads (2002 in Salt Lake City, 2006 in Turin and 2010 in Vancouver). Two of her McGill teammates -- Charline Labonté and Catherine Ward -- also were part of the win in 2010, which added to the gold that Labonté won in 2006. Freestyle skier Jennifer Heil claimed her gold at the 2006 Games.
McGill's first-ever Olympian was the legendary Percival Molson, who competed track and field at the 1904 Games in St. Louis. The University has also had one of its athletes serve as flagbearer -- boxer Dr. George B. Maughan at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles. R. Tait McKenzie, a reknown McGill gymnast, was the only artist to take part in five Olympics art competitions, winning a bronze medal at the 1932 Games in "mixed sculturing - medals and reliefs."
Molson, Maughan and McKenzie are all in the McGill Sports Hall of Fame.
