\u00c0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 20 ans, l\u2019halt\u00e9rophile canadien G\u00e9rald \u00ab Gerry \u00bb Gratton a effectu\u00e9 la premi\u00e8re pr\u00e9sence du Canada dans ce sport \u00e0 Londres 1948<\/a>, o\u00f9 il a fini cinqui\u00e8me chez les poids moyens. Quatre ans plus tard \u00e0 Helsinki 1952<\/a>, il a d\u2019abord remport\u00e9 la comp\u00e9tition des poids moyens, mais les Am\u00e9ricains ont contest\u00e9 son dernier essai et le jury d\u2019appel a maintenu l\u2019objectif, rel\u00e9guant Gratton \u00e0 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent (et propulsant l\u2019Am\u00e9ricain vers l\u2019or). Il s\u2019agissait de la premi\u00e8re m\u00e9daille olympique du Canada en halt\u00e9rophilie. Gratton \u00e9tait un favori pour une m\u00e9daille \u00e0 Melbourne 1956<\/a>, mais il n\u2019a pas fait le poids au moment de la pes\u00e9e officielle, par 100 grammes (deux onces).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double m\u00e9daill\u00e9 d\u2019or aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique, Gratton a remport\u00e9 le titre des poids moyens en 1950 et le titre des poids mi-lourds en 1954, o\u00f9 il \u00e9tait le porteur de drapeau du Canada \u00e0 la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie d\u2019ouverture. Sa derni\u00e8re comp\u00e9tition internationale a eu lieu en 1958, aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique, o\u00f9 il a fini cinqui\u00e8me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gratton a commenc\u00e9 la pratique de l\u2019halt\u00e9rophilie dans les ann\u00e9es 1940 et les Jeux de Londres 1948 ont \u00e9t\u00e9 l\u2019une de ses premi\u00e8res comp\u00e9titions internationales majeures. Il est mort \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 35 ans des suites de plusieurs blessures subies dans un accident de voiture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gratton a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1955 et au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens en 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
