McGill at the Olympics
A 26-member contingent of McGill students and former students has been selected to take part as either athletes, coaches or officials at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens.
Over the past century, McGill has produced a long list of Olympic participants. McGill athletes have won a combined total of three gold medals, five silvers and ten bronzes (excluding two bronzes by athletes who competed at the Games before attending McGill).
Topping the list is Philip Edwards. A graduate of the Faculty of Medicine, Edwards won a whopping five bronze medals while representing Canada at the 1928 Amsterdam Games, the 1932 Los Angeles Games and the 1936 Berlin Games.
Only two McGill athletes have won Olympic gold, swimmer George Hodgson (who won two) at the 1912 Stockholm Games and hockey goaltender Kim St-Pierre at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.
