Quand le rameur Michael Forgeron a fait ses d\u00e9buts olympiques \u00e0 Barcelone 1992<\/a>, il n\u2019\u00e9tait pas un double m\u00e9daill\u00e9 d\u2019argent du huit aux Championnats du monde (1990 et 1991) comme le reste de son \u00e9quipe. En finale de leur \u00e9preuve, Forgeron et l\u2019embarcation canadienne ont pris l\u2019avance \u00e0 mi-chemin et ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 l\u2019emporter par moins de 30 cm sur la Roumanie dans ce qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 la finale d\u2019aviron la plus serr\u00e9e de l\u2019histoire des Jeux olympiques avec un \u00e9cart de seulement 0.14 seconde. Darren Barber<\/a>, Andy Crosby<\/a>, Robert Marland<\/a>, Derek Porter<\/a>, Michael Rascher<\/a>, Bruce Robertson<\/a>, John Wallace<\/a> et le barreur Terry Paul<\/a> \u00e9taient les co\u00e9quipiers de Forgeron. Quand Forgeron est rentr\u00e9 chez lui \u00e0 Cap-Breton apr\u00e8s \u00e0 Barcelone 1992, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 accueilli par un d\u00e9fi de pr\u00e8s de deux kilom\u00e8tres, allant de l\u2019a\u00e9roport jusqu\u2019\u00e0 Louisburg et \u00e0 Main-\u00e0-Dieu. \u00c0 l\u2019arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 Atlanta 1996<\/a>, Forgeron \u00e9tait pass\u00e9 au deux de couple et a termin\u00e9 septi\u00e8me avec son co\u00e9quipier Todd Hallett<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s sa victoire olympique, Forgeron a chang\u00e9 de discipline pour passer au quatre de pointe sans barreur, l\u00e0 o\u00f9 il a termin\u00e9 quatri\u00e8me aux Championnats du monde de 1993 et septi\u00e8me \u00e0 ceux de 1994. Il a remport\u00e9 une m\u00e9daille de bronze au quatre de pointe sans barreur aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 1994. Un autre changement d\u2019embarcation a conduit Forgeron vers le deux de couple, o\u00f9 il a termin\u00e9 huiti\u00e8me aux Championnats du monde de 1985. Il s\u2019est retir\u00e9 de l\u2019aviron apr\u00e8s les Jeux d\u2019Atlanta en 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N\u00e9 et ayant grandi \u00e0 Cap-Breton en Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse, Forgeron est dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00c9cole secondaire rurale Riverview \u00e0 Coxheath en 1984 et de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Western Ontario en 1988. S\u2019\u00e9tablissant \u00e0 Mississauga en Ontario, Forgeron a fait carri\u00e8re en vente, il a \u00e9pous\u00e9 Kim, une enseignante et il a eu une fille nomm\u00e9e Hanna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forgeron a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1994, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de la Nouvelle-\u00c9cosse en 2010 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e de l\u2019aviron canadien en 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
