Le rameur Lawrence \u00ab\u00a0Laurie\u00a0\u00bb West \u00e9tait membre du huit masculin de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique (UBC) qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 choisi pour repr\u00e9senter le Canada \u00e0 Melbourne 1956<\/a>. Seulement la moiti\u00e9 de l\u2019\u00e9quipage poss\u00e9dait une r\u00e9elle exp\u00e9rience en aviron et avec seulement un an pour se pr\u00e9parer pour les Jeux, une \u00e9quipe comp\u00e9titive a \u00e9t\u00e9 b\u00e2tie et a \u00e9t\u00e9 jusqu\u2019\u00e0 menacer les \u00e9ventuels m\u00e9daill\u00e9s d\u2019or olympiques. West a remport\u00e9 une m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent pour le Canada, derri\u00e8re les Am\u00e9ricains par seulement deux secondes d\u2019\u00e9cart, avec ses co\u00e9quipiers David Helliwell, Philip Kueber, Richard McClure, Doug MacDonald, Bill McKerlich, Carl Ogawa, Donald Pretty et Robert Wilson.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En remportant le titre national du huit en 1954, West et son \u00e9quipage compos\u00e9 de McDonald, Robert Wilson, Ken Drummond, Mike Harris, Ray Sierpina, Glen Smith, Tom Tonybee et Herman Zloklikovits ont ensuite repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le Canada aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 1954, o\u00f9 ils ont remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or. En remportant son deuxi\u00e8me titre national \u00e0 l\u2019UBC, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 choisi au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipage pour les Jeux de Melbourne en 1956.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 de l\u2019UBC, West y est rest\u00e9 et a pris la rel\u00e8ve de son propre entra\u00eeneur, Frank Read, quand celui-ci a pris sa retraite. Son \u00e9quipage du huit a fini troisi\u00e8me \u00e0 la rencontre de sprints d\u2019aviron de l\u2019ouest des \u00c9tats-Unis en 1961 \u00e0 Seattle, une victoire n\u00e9cessaire pour obtenir le financement pour participer \u00e0 la r\u00e9gate du Royal Henley. West a compt\u00e9 sur le m\u00eame groupe en 1962 et a r\u00e9ussi un record du monde contre St. Catharines, envoyant l\u2019\u00e9quipage aux Championnats du monde de Lucerne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En compagnie de ses co\u00e9quipiers de l\u2019\u00e9quipage gagnant de l\u2019or aux Jeux du Commonwealth de 1954, West a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1958, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de la Colombie-Britannique en 1966, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique en 1999 et encore une fois au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de la Colombie-Britannique avec son \u00e9quipage gagnant de la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent de 1956, en 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
