La nageuse canadienne Beth Whittall a \u00e9t\u00e9 finaliste \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve du 100 m papillon des Jeux olympiques de Melbourne en 1956. <\/i><\/p>\n

La nageuse Beth Whittall a repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 le Canada aux Jeux olympiques de Melbourne en 1956, se qualifiant pour la finale du 100 m papillon en plus de participer aux vagues du 400 m style libre.<\/p>\n

Whittall n\u2019\u00e9tait \u00e2g\u00e9 que de 17 ans quand elle avait mis la main sur la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent en tant que membre de l\u2019\u00e9quipe canadienne au relais 4×110 verges style libre aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire et du Commonwealth britannique en 1954. L\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, elle a remport\u00e9 deux m\u00e9dailles d\u2019or (100 m papillon, 400 m style libre) et deux m\u00e9dailles d\u2019argent au relais (4×100 m style libre, 4×400 m quatre nages) des Jeux panam\u00e9ricains \u00e0 Mexico en 1955. Incroyablement, trois de ces m\u00e9dailles panam\u00e9ricaines ont \u00e9t\u00e9 remport\u00e9es en l\u2019espace d\u2019une heure sous une pluie torrentielle dans la piscine ext\u00e9rieure d\u2019University City. Whittal a r\u00e9alis\u00e9 inscrit cinq records canadiens en plus de remporter plusieurs titres nationaux.<\/p>\n

Annon\u00e7ant sa retraite apr\u00e8s les Jeux de Melbourne en 1956, Whittall a poursuivi son dipl\u00f4me en pharmacologie \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Purdue, et a ensuite travaill\u00e9 comme entra\u00eeneure de natation au Qu\u00e9bec. En 1973, elle a fond\u00e9 le Club des ma\u00eetres du St-Laurent, le comit\u00e9 de natation des ma\u00eetres-nageurs du Qu\u00e9bec, en plus d\u2019agir comme co-h\u00f4tesse de la premi\u00e8re comp\u00e9tition des ma\u00eetres au Qu\u00e9bec l\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante. En 1987, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 50 ans, Whittall a \u00e9tabli un record canadien au 200 m style libre chez les 50 \u00e0 54 ans. Apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9m\u00e9nag\u00e9 en Ontario, elle a fond\u00e9 le Club des ma\u00eetres de la baie G\u00e9orgienne en 1997, \u00e9crit et publi\u00e9 Wavelengths<\/i> (un magazine trimestriel de nage pour ma\u00eetres) en plus de remporter le prix Hud Stewart en 2008 pour ses contributions \u00e0 la natation chez les ma\u00eetres.<\/p>\n

Whittall est demeur\u00e9e active en nage jusqu\u2019\u00e0 sa mort \u00e0 Hudson au Qu\u00e9bec en 2015, quelques jours apr\u00e8s avoir d\u00e9couvert qu\u2019elle serait intronis\u00e9e au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada. En 1955, elle s\u2019\u00e9tait vu remettre le troph\u00e9e Lou Marsh, \u00e0 titre d\u2019athl\u00e8te de l\u2019ann\u00e9e au Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
