\u00c0 sa premi\u00e8re apparition en lutte olympique dans la cat\u00e9gorie des poids coq \u00e0 Paris 1924<\/a>, les coll\u00e8gues de Jim Trifunov ont organis\u00e9 une collecte de fonds pour l\u2019aider \u00e0 participer aux Jeux, o\u00f9 il s\u2019est inclin\u00e9 au premier tour et a termin\u00e9 au neuvi\u00e8me rang. Son voyage \u00e0 Amsterdam 1928<\/a> a \u00e9t\u00e9 financ\u00e9 par des amis au Gouvernement de la Saskatchewan et c\u2019est l\u00e0 qu\u2019il a obtenu son meilleur r\u00e9sultat en d\u00e9faisant le Britannique Harold Sansum dans le combat pour la m\u00e9daille de bronze. Sa derni\u00e8re pr\u00e9sence olympique est survenue \u00e0 Los Angeles 1932<\/a>, o\u00f9 il a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9limin\u00e9 de la comp\u00e9tition apr\u00e8s avoir perdu ses deux premiers combats. \u00c0 chacune de ses pr\u00e9sences aux Jeux olympiques, il a d\u00fb utiliser ses deux semaines de vacances annuelles, en plus de prendre un cong\u00e9 sans solde de quatre semaines de son travail au Regina Leader Post<\/em>. Pour Berlin 1936<\/a>, le journal l\u2019a envoy\u00e9 deux semaines \u00e0 Winnipeg pour aider \u00e0 l’administration du Free Press<\/em>, o\u00f9 il est rest\u00e9 pour le reste de sa carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans la premi\u00e8re \u00e9dition des Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique en 1930, Trifunov a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or chez les poids coq en d\u00e9faisant l\u2019Anglais Joe Reid en finale. Il a commenc\u00e9 la pratique de la lutte au YMCA en 1922 malgr\u00e9 l\u2019absence d\u2019un v\u00e9ritable programme organis\u00e9. En l\u2019espace d\u2019un an, il a mis la main sur le premier de ses neuf titres canadiens des poids coq et n\u2019a subi qu\u2019une seule d\u00e9faite en sol canadien au cours de sa carri\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avec ses parents et trois fr\u00e8res et s\u0153urs, Trifunov est arriv\u00e9 de Jarkovac, en Serbie, pour s\u2019\u00e9tablir \u00e0 Truax, en Saskatchewan, en 1910. Son p\u00e8re s\u2019est \u00e9teint quelques ann\u00e9es apr\u00e8s leur arriv\u00e9e au Canada. Il a commenc\u00e9 sa carri\u00e8re d\u2019entra\u00eeneur \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Winnipeg et s\u2019est impliqu\u00e9 davantage dans la lutte en tant qu\u2019administrateur, occupant le poste de pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019Association de lutte du Manitoba pendant 25 ans. Membre du personnel ex\u00e9cutif sur la sc\u00e8ne nationale, Trifunov a \u00e9t\u00e9 entra\u00eeneur et g\u00e9rant des \u00e9quipes de lutte aux Jeux d\u2019Helsinki en 1952, \u00e0 ceux de Melbourne en 1956 et \u00e0 Rome en 1960, en plus de celles qui ont particip\u00e9 aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire et du Commonwealth britannique, de 1954 \u00e0 1970. Il a travaill\u00e9 sans rel\u00e2che pour trouver un domicile permanent au Panth\u00e9on des sports du Manitoba, qui a ouvert ses portes cinq jours avant sa mort en 1993 \u00e0 Winnipeg, \u00e0 trois semaines de son 90e anniversaire de naissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Membre de l\u2019Ordre du Canada depuis 1981, Trifunov a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1953, au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens en 1960, ainsi qu\u2019aux Panth\u00e9ons des sports de la Saskatchewan en 1966 et du Manitoba en 1981. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
