Athl\u00e8te chevronn\u00e9, a \u00e9t\u00e9 de ceux qui ont r\u00e9\u00e9crit l\u2019histoire \u00e0 PyeongChang 2018 lorsqu\u2019il a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent en compagnie de Tristan Walker<\/a>, Alex Gough<\/a> et Justin Snith<\/a> au relais, deux jours apr\u00e8s la m\u00e9daille remport\u00e9e par Alex, la toute premi\u00e8re du Canada en luge olympique. Cet exploit est survenu quatre ans apr\u00e8s la quatri\u00e8me place accablante v\u00e9cue par ce m\u00eame quatuor \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve de relais par \u00e9quipes qui faisait sa premi\u00e8re apparition aux Jeux olympiques d\u2019hiver \u00e0 Sotchi 2014. Sam a aussi atteint le sixi\u00e8me rang de l\u2019\u00e9preuve simple masculine \u00e0 PyeongChang 2018, am\u00e9liorant son meilleur r\u00e9sultat olympique et par le fait m\u00eame celui du Canada \u00e0 cette \u00e9preuve, une septi\u00e8me place \u00e0 Vancouver 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sam \u00e9tait alors bien positionn\u00e9 pour remporter son premier podium au niveau international apr\u00e8s s\u2019\u00eatre class\u00e9 au 5e<\/sup> rang aux Championnats du monde de 2013. Non seulement a-t-il \u00e9t\u00e9 l\u2019athl\u00e8te n\u2019\u00e9tant pas d\u2019origine allemande le mieux plac\u00e9 au classement, il a \u00e9galement enregistr\u00e9 le meilleur r\u00e9sultat jamais r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par un Canadien d\u2019origine.<\/p>\n

En d\u00e9cembre 2014, Sam est devenu le premier Canadien vainqueur d\u2019une course de la Coupe du monde, sur la piste o\u00f9 il s\u2019entra\u00eene, \u00e0 Calgary. Apr\u00e8s une saison \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9cart de la comp\u00e9tition en 2015-2016 pour se concentrer sur ses \u00e9tudes et donner \u00e0 son corps la chance de se reposer et de r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer, il est revenu encore plus fort en 2016-2017. Il est devenu le premier lugeur canadien \u00e0 monter sur le podium d\u2019une \u00e9preuve en simple de la Coupe du monde \u00e0 l\u2019ext\u00e9rieur du Canada lorsqu\u2019il a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille de bronze de l\u2019\u00e9preuve test de PyeongChang 2018 au Centre de glisse olympique. Il \u00e9volue sur le circuit de la Coupe du monde depuis plus de 10 ans et a fait ses d\u00e9buts aux Championnats du monde en 2003. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sam est \u00e9galement un \u00e9l\u00e9ment essentiel \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve du relais par \u00e9quipes, car son temps de r\u00e9action au d\u00e9part du relais est un des meilleurs au monde : il \u00e9tait le plus rapide de tous les lugeurs \u00e0 Sotchi 2014. Ses r\u00e9flexes ont permis au Canada de d\u00e9crocher l\u2019argent aux Championnats du monde de 2013, apr\u00e8s avoir remport\u00e9 le bronze en 2012. En 2015, les lugeurs canadiens ont ajout\u00e9 une autre m\u00e9daille de bronze \u00e0 leur r\u00e9colte.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c0 propos de Sam<\/h2>\n

D\u00e9buts :<\/b> Il s\u2019est initi\u00e9 \u00e0 la luge \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 14 ans quand son enseignant d\u2019\u00e9ducation physique de 9<\/span>e<\/span> ann\u00e9e lui a sugg\u00e9r\u00e9 d\u2019essayer le sport en raison de ses aptitudes athl\u00e9tiques et parce qu\u2019il croyait qu\u2019en grandissant, son corps s\u2019adapterait bien \u00e0 la luge. Sam a \u00e9t\u00e9 s\u00e9duit par la vitesse et l\u2019id\u00e9e de voyager \u00e0 l\u2019international pour repr\u00e9senter le Canada. <\/span>Au-del\u00e0 de la luge : <\/b>Pendant la saison, il s\u2019adonne \u00e0 la lecture et \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9dition de vid\u00e9os, et il alimente son blogue. Hors saison, il fait de la p\u00eache \u00e0 la mouche, de la randonn\u00e9e, du camping et du v\u00e9lo de montagne. En 2010, il a obtenu son baccalaur\u00e9at en arts et sciences de l\u2019universit\u00e9 Quest. Il a ensuite obtenu un baccalaur\u00e9at en commerce de l\u2019universit\u00e9 Royal Roads en 2016. <\/span>Souvenirs olympiques :<\/b> Il a assist\u00e9 \u00e0 quelques \u00e9preuves dans sa ville natale pendant Calgary 1988, mais il a vraiment saisi ce que repr\u00e9sente le pouvoir des Jeux olympiques et jusqu\u2019\u00e0 quel point les athl\u00e8tes sont remarquables lorsqu\u2019il a vu Donovan Bailey et l\u2019\u00e9quipe masculine du relais 4×100 m \u00e0 Atlanta 1996. Il a eu l\u2019occasion de se rendre \u00e0 Salt Lake City avec son p\u00e8re pour assister aux Jeux olympiques d\u2019hiver de 2002, ce qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 un moment important dans sa vie parce qu\u2019il avait alors commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 faire des comp\u00e9titions de luge. Superstition : Il DOIT enfiler le gant droit en premier lorsqu\u2019il se pr\u00e9pare. Il voyage toujours avec son iPod et son Kindle. Il fait la collection d\u2019autocollants lorsqu\u2019il voyage. Citation favorite : \u00ab Je ne peux \u00eatre que moi-m\u00eame, peu importe qui est cette personne. \u00bb \u2013 Bob Dylan. Participation \u00e0 des organismes caritatifs : Classroom Champions, Clean Air Champions, Branch Out Foundation. On le surnomme Samwise. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
