Avec moins de deux ann\u00e9es d\u2019entra\u00eenement derri\u00e8re la cravate, le Canadien Alex Oakley a effectu\u00e9 ses d\u00e9buts olympiques \u00e0 Melbourne 1956<\/a>, o\u00f9 il a \u00e9t\u00e9 disqualifi\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00e9preuve du 20 km marche. Quatre ans plus tard \u00e0 Rome 1960<\/a>, il a r\u00e9ussi ses meilleurs r\u00e9sultats olympiques en obtenant une remarquable sixi\u00e8me place au 50 km marche et une neuvi\u00e8me position au 20 km marche. Oakley a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 trois autres Jeux olympiques, soit Tokyo 1964<\/a>, Munich 1972<\/a> et \u00e0 la maison dans le cadre de Montr\u00e9al 1976<\/a>, o\u00f9 il ne faisait pas partie initialement de la formation canadienne en raison des nouveaux crit\u00e8res de qualification. Apr\u00e8s avoir contest\u00e9 la d\u00e9cision, Oakley a finalement particip\u00e9 aux Jeux de Montr\u00e9al \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 50 ans, faisant de lui l\u2019athl\u00e8te le plus \u00e2g\u00e9 \u00e0 disputer une \u00e9preuve d\u2019athl\u00e9tisme aux Jeux olympiques. Malheureusement, juste avant l\u2019\u00e9preuve du 20 km marche de Montr\u00e9al, Oakley a gliss\u00e9 dans une baignoire et s\u2019est fractur\u00e9 quelques c\u00f4tes. Bien qu\u2019il ait \u00e9t\u00e9 en mesure de participer \u00e0 son \u00e9preuve, il n\u2019\u00e9tait au meilleur de sa forme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En plus de son impressionnante carri\u00e8re, Oakley a effectu\u00e9 des apparitions aux Jeux du Commonwealth en 1966 et en 1970. Ses hauts faits d\u2019armes de carri\u00e8re incluent une m\u00e9daille d\u2019or \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve du 20 km marche aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains de 1963 \u00e0 Sao Paulo et deux m\u00e9dailles d\u2019or remport\u00e9es aux Jeux mondiaux des ma\u00eetres (5 km et 25 km).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quand Oakley a d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 de St. John\u2019s, Terre-Neuve, pour aller travailler chez General Motors \u00e0 Oshawa, en Ontario, il s\u2019est retrouv\u00e9 \u00e0 marcher plusieurs miles par jour pour v\u00e9rifier l\u2019inventaire de l\u2019usine. Cela marquait le d\u00e9but d\u2019une carri\u00e8re \u00e0 vie de marche. Il a v\u00e9cu la majorit\u00e9 de sa vie en Ontario, mais il est retourn\u00e9 \u00e0 Terre-Neuve au milieu des ann\u00e9es 1980 et v\u00e9cu paisiblement \u00e0 Bay Bulls jusqu\u2019au moment de son d\u00e9c\u00e8s en 2010, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 84 ans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oakley a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports d\u2019Oshawa en 1986 (en m\u00eame temps que l\u2019ancienne vedette de la LNH Bobby Orr et l\u2019ancien directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral dans la LNH Harry Sinden), au Panth\u00e9on des sports de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador en 1988, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1992 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e de l\u2019athl\u00e9tisme de Terre-Neuve en 2005. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
