L\u2019\u00e9quipe l\u2019a emport\u00e9 et a ainsi repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le Canada \u00e0 Melbourne 1956<\/a>. En finale olympique, il n\u2019y avait aucune comp\u00e9tition pour la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or. D\u2019Hondt, avec ses co\u00e9quipiers de l\u2019\u00e9quipe surnomm\u00e9e \u00ab Cendrillon 4 <\/em>\u00bb, Don Arnold<\/a>, Lorne Loomer<\/a> et Archie MacKinnon<\/a>, a pris les devants \u00e0 mi-chemin, distan\u00e7ant les Am\u00e9ricains par 10 secondes. Ils ont ainsi remport\u00e9 la premi\u00e8re m\u00e9daille d\u2019or olympique canadienne en aviron. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 Rome 1960<\/a>, d\u2019Hondt faisait partie de l\u2019\u00e9quipage du huit repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par la formation de l\u2019UBC. Ils n\u2019\u00e9taient pas favoris pour remporter l\u2019or. En finale, l\u2019\u00e9quipe canadienne est rest\u00e9e au coude \u00e0 coude avec les aspirants au titre jusqu\u2019aux 200 derniers m\u00e8tres. Les Allemands ont alors pris les devants. D\u2019Hondt a remport\u00e9 l\u2019argent avec ses co\u00e9quipiers Arnold, David Anderson<\/a>, Sohen Biln<\/a>, Nelson Kuhn<\/a>, John Lecky<\/a>, MacKinnon, Bill McKerlich<\/a> et Glen Mervyn<\/a>. Ce fut la seule m\u00e9daille canadienne \u00e0 ces Jeux et la derni\u00e8re course de sa carri\u00e8re. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En aviron \u00e0 huit des Jeux du Commonwealth de 1958, d\u2019Hondt a remport\u00e9 l\u2019or avec ses co\u00e9quipiers du quatre sans barreur de Melbourne 1956. Les Canadiens ont domin\u00e9 la comp\u00e9tition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finissant de la prestigieuse \u00e9cole John Fisher \u00e0 Surrey, en Angleterre, d\u2019Hondt \u00e9tait le troisi\u00e8me meilleur lanceur du marteau en Angleterre chez les moins de 18 ans. Quand il a d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 au Canada afin de poursuivre la comp\u00e9tition, il est devenu champion national. Il a travaill\u00e9 comme ing\u00e9nieur chez Boeing \u00e0 Seattle. Il a eu deux filles et trois fils. Sa s\u0153ur Danica d\u2019Hondt a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lue Miss Canada en 1959. Elle a aussi eu une carri\u00e8re d\u2019actrice, de restauratrice et d\u2019auteure. Sa fille Gillian d\u2019Hondt a \u00e9t\u00e9 joueuse de basketball sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale et sa ni\u00e8ce America Olivo \u00e9tait actrice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u2019Hondt a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9, avec l\u2019\u00e9quipage m\u00e9daill\u00e9 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 du sport de la Colombie-Britannique en 1966, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e du sport de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Colombie-Britannique en 1993 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e de l\u2019aviron canadien en 2018.
