De 1935 \u00e0 1954, le lanceur Eric Coy a offert des performances constantes sur la sc\u00e8ne de l\u2019athl\u00e9tisme canadien. Capitaine de l\u2019\u00e9quipe d\u2019athl\u00e9tisme \u00e0 Londres 1948<\/a>, il n\u2019a pas atteint les finales des \u00e9preuves du lancer du poids et du disque. Il a pr\u00e9c\u00e9demment \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipe canadienne pour Tokyo 1940 qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 annul\u00e9s (en raison de la Deuxi\u00e8me Guerre mondiale).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le moment marquant de la carri\u00e8re de Coy a \u00e9t\u00e9 ses deux m\u00e9dailles remport\u00e9es aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique de 1938, soit l\u2019or au lancer du disque (\u00e9tablissant un record des Jeux par plus de trois m\u00e8tres) et l\u2019argent au lancer du poids. Il \u00e9tait \u00e2g\u00e9 de 39 ans quand il a termin\u00e9 neuvi\u00e8me au lancer du poids aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique de 1954. Coy a remport\u00e9 son premier titre de lancer du javelot aux Championnats canadiens de 1935, suivi de titres au lancer du poids et au disque en 1938.  Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 le premier Canadien \u00e0 franchir les 14 m au lancer du poids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les premi\u00e8res exp\u00e9riences d\u2019athl\u00e9tisme de Coy ont \u00e9t\u00e9 comme sprinteur \u00e0 Charleswood en banlieue de Winnipeg, alors qu\u2019il a franchi les 100 verges en 10 secondes. Toutefois, son gabarit de 1,83 m et 190 lb convenait davantage aux \u00e9preuves de lancer. Athl\u00e8te complet, Coy a pratiqu\u00e9 plusieurs sports, notamment le badminton, la balle rapide, le handball, le squash, le hockey et le football. Pour compl\u00e9ter sa carri\u00e8re d\u2019athl\u00e9tisme, Coy participait \u00e0 des courses de raquettes, remportant plusieurs titres nationaux et internationaux de 1933 \u00e0 1940.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00e8s l\u2019\u00e2ge de 16 ans, Coy travaillait pour la compagnie de t\u00e9l\u00e9phone du Manitoba et passait ses vacances \u00e0 s\u2019entra\u00eener avec les athl\u00e8tes d\u2019athl\u00e9tisme de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 du Minnesota. Pendant la Deuxi\u00e8me Guerre mondiale, il a servi au sein de l\u2019Aviation royale canadienne (ARC) \u00e0 titre de pilote navigateur instructeur et a jou\u00e9 au football pour les Hurricanes de l\u2019ARC. Apr\u00e8s avoir accroch\u00e9 ses crampons, Coy est devenu homme d\u2019affaires, mais il est demeur\u00e9 actif dans les sports en \u00e9tant entra\u00eeneur au hockey, \u00e0 la lutte et en athl\u00e9tisme. Le troph\u00e9e comm\u00e9moratif Eric E. Coy a \u00e9t\u00e9 donn\u00e9 par sa veuve Helen apr\u00e8s sa mort en 1985 \u00e0 Winnipeg, et est d\u00e9cern\u00e9 annuellement au meilleur athl\u00e8te canadien en lancer. L\u2019ar\u00e9na Eric Coy a \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 en son honneur dans sa ville natale de Winnipeg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coy a remport\u00e9 le troph\u00e9e Norton H. Crowe \u00e0 titre d\u2019Athl\u00e8te amateur par excellence au Canada en 1938 et il a \u00e9t\u00e9 finaliste pour l\u2019obtention du troph\u00e9e Lou Marsh. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e d\u2019Athl\u00e9tisme Canada et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1963, au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens en 1971 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports du Manitoba en 1980.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
