Apr\u00e8s un p\u00e9riple de six jours \u00e0 bord du S.S. Duchess of Bedford pour participer \u00e0 Berlin 1936<\/a>, le Canadien Larry O\u2019Connor a \u00e9tabli le meilleur temps de sa carri\u00e8re gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un chrono de 14.8 secondes pour terminer au sixi\u00e8me rang de la finale du 110 m haies. Bien qu\u2019il devait aussi participer au 400 m haies, il n\u2019\u00e9tait pas du d\u00e9part de cette \u00e9preuve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un autre fait saillant de la carri\u00e8re d\u2019O\u2019Connor a \u00e9t\u00e9 de remporter deux m\u00e9dailles d\u2019or aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique en 1938 : une en tant que membre du relais 4×110 verges (en compagnie de Jack Brown, John Loaring et Patrick Haley) et une individuelle, soit une m\u00e9daille de bronze au 120 verges haies, ce qui lui a permis de terminer au troisi\u00e8me rang du classement mondial de l\u2019ann\u00e9e (il a aussi termin\u00e9 en quatri\u00e8me position du classement mondial du 220 verges). O\u2019Connor a \u00e9tabli des records canadiens du 120 verges haies (marque qu’il a maintenue jusqu\u2019en 1963), puis son record personnel de 14.8 secondes r\u00e9alis\u00e9 au 110 m haies en 1936 qui n\u2019a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 battu avant 1964. Il a aussi r\u00e9alis\u00e9 un record mondial en salle au 60 verges haies \u00e9lev\u00e9es en 1937 au Maple Leaf Gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Athl\u00e8te au talent naturel, O\u2019Connor a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 travailler en compagnie du sp\u00e9cialiste des haies Art Ravensdale, un Olympien des Jeux de Los Angeles en 1932, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 13 ans quand sa famille a d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 \u00e0 Cobourg. O\u2019Connor a particip\u00e9 au Camp de la Commission sportive de l\u2019Ontario au lac Couchiching o\u00f9 il est devenu le premier gar\u00e7on \u00e0 nager vers une \u00eele \u00e0 un mile de distance. Sa m\u00e8re May est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e quand il \u00e9tait \u00e2g\u00e9 de seulement 11 mois. Son p\u00e8re, un juge de comt\u00e9, s\u2019est remari\u00e9 avec une autre femme avec qui il a eu les deux s\u0153urs d\u2019O\u2019Connor. Alors qu\u2019il \u00e9tudiait en science politique et en \u00e9conomie \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Toronto, il faisait partie de l\u2019\u00e9quipe d\u2019athl\u00e9tisme en compagnie du sp\u00e9cialiste des haies Jim Worrall, l\u2019Olympien et porte-drapeau pour le Canada aux Jeux de Berlin en 1936. En 1941, O\u2019Connor a \u00e9t\u00e9 dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00c9cole de droit Osgoode, il s\u2019est joint au cabinet d\u2019avocats de James McNevin \u00e0 Chatham, en Ontario, il a \u00e9pous\u00e9 Helen Conway de Huntsville et s\u2019est enr\u00f4l\u00e9 dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e. Apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 bless\u00e9 par balle \u00e0 Caen, en France, il est rentr\u00e9 au Canada et est retourn\u00e9 au cabinet d\u2019avocats McNevin, Gee et O\u2019Connor. En 1988, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 71 ans, O\u2019Connor a couru avec la flamme olympique sur une route pr\u00e8s de Chatham, dans le cadre du relais pancanadien conduisant aux Jeux olympiques d\u2019hiver de Calgary. Il est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 Chatham en 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019Connor a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9cipiendaire du Troph\u00e9e Norton Crow et du Troph\u00e9e John W. Davies. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e du sport amateur canadien en 1967, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1968, au Panth\u00e9on des sports de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Toronto en 1991 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de l\u2019Ontario en 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
