Participante du 800 m en athl\u00e9tisme \u00e0 quatre Jeux olympiques, la Canadienne Abby Hoffman a fait ses d\u00e9buts olympiques \u00e0 Tokyo 1964<\/a>. Elle a disput\u00e9 la finale du 800 m \u00e0 deux occasions, terminant septi\u00e8me \u00e0 Mexico 1968<\/a> et huiti\u00e8me \u00e0 Munich 1972<\/a>, dans une course historique o\u00f9 les six premi\u00e8res coureuses ont \u00e9gal\u00e9 ou abaiss\u00e9 la barre des 2:00.00 minutes. Le chrono de 2:00.17 de Hoffman \u00e9tait un record canadien et est demeur\u00e9 son sommet personnel pour le reste de sa carri\u00e8re. \u00c0 la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie d\u2019ouverture en sol canadien de Montr\u00e9al 1976<\/a>, Hoffman est devenue la premi\u00e8re femme \u00e0 porter le drapeau canadien \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur du stade \u00e0 l\u2019occasion du d\u00e9fil\u00e9 des nations des Jeux d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoffman a fait ses premiers pas sur la sc\u00e8ne internationale de l\u2019athl\u00e9tisme \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 15 ans aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 1962. Elle a remport\u00e9 sa premi\u00e8re m\u00e9daille internationale l\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains de 1963. Championne \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve du 800 m aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique et du Commonwealth en 1966, Hoffman a \u00e9t\u00e9 m\u00e9daill\u00e9e des Jeux panam\u00e9ricains \u00e0 cinq occasions; remportant l\u2019or au 800 m (1963 et 1971), l\u2019argent au 800 m (1975) et le bronze aux 800 m (1967) et au 1500 m (1975). Au cours de sa carri\u00e8re, Hoffman a mis la main sur huit titres nationaux au 800 m et a \u00e9t\u00e9 la d\u00e9tentrice du record canadien sur cette distance de 1962 \u00e0 1975.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoffman a \u00e9t\u00e9 initi\u00e9e au monde du sport \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de trois ans par la natation et le patinage et a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 utiliser un b\u00e2ton de hockey \u00e0 cinq ans. \u00c0 neuf ans, elle a coup\u00e9 ses cheveux courts afin de pouvoir jouer dans une ligue masculine de hockey junior A \u00e0 Toronto. Dipl\u00f4m\u00e9e du Humberside Collegiate Institute de Toronto, Hoffman a ensuite \u00e9t\u00e9 admise \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Toronto, o\u00f9 elle a refus\u00e9 en 1966 le privil\u00e8ge de courir sur la seule piste int\u00e9rieure de l\u2019Ontario. Le Hart House, une installation r\u00e9serv\u00e9e aux hommes, a ouvert ses portes aux femmes en raison des efforts de Hoffman. On peut y retrouver aujourd\u2019hui une plaque avec la citation : \u00ab Seule celle qui tente l\u2019absurde peut r\u00e9aliser l\u2019impossible \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir accroch\u00e9 ses crampons, Hoffman est devenue une administratrice tr\u00e8s respect\u00e9e dans le monde du sport, ainsi qu\u2019une militante et une promotrice des femmes dans le sport au Canada et partout dans le monde. De 1981 \u00e0 1991, elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 directrice g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de Sport Canada et est devenue en 1981 la premi\u00e8re femme \u00e9lue au sein du Comit\u00e9 de direction de l\u2019Association canadienne olympique (qui a plus tard \u00e9t\u00e9 renomm\u00e9e le COC). Elle est devenue membre du conseil ex\u00e9cutif de l\u2019Association internationale des f\u00e9d\u00e9rations d\u2019athl\u00e9tisme (IAAF, aujourd\u2019hui World Athletics) et conseill\u00e8re principale chez Sant\u00e9 Canada. En 2015, Hoffman a re\u00e7u un doctorat honorifique en droit de son alma mater<\/em>, l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Toronto. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 impliqu\u00e9e dans le processus de commandite des premiers Championnats canadiens de hockey f\u00e9minin et la Coupe Abby Hoffman, remise aux championnes, a \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9e en son honneur.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoffman a \u00e9t\u00e9 re\u00e7ue Offici\u00e8re de l\u2019Ordre du Canada en 1982. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9e au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1996, au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens en 2004 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de la communaut\u00e9 juive canadienne en 2007.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
