Jimmy Ball \u00e9tait l\u2019un des meilleurs athl\u00e8tes canadiens au 400 m \u00e0 la fin des ann\u00e9es 1920 et au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1930, remportant trois m\u00e9dailles olympiques au 400 m et faisant partie des \u00e9quipes de relais 4×400 m aux Jeux olympiques d\u2019Amsterdam en 1928 et de Los Angeles en 1932.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dans ce qui s\u2019annon\u00e7ait comme l\u2019une des courses les plus palpitantes des Jeux d\u2019Amsterdam en 1928, Jimmy Ball, qui n\u2019\u00e9tait pas habitu\u00e9 de courir dans les couloirs au 400 m, a mal jug\u00e9 sa position et a d\u00fb y aller d\u2019un \u00e9norme dernier effort dans la finale. Il a rejoint le meneur, mais a ensuite commis l\u2019erreur classique de regarder vers ses autres concurrents, lui co\u00fbtant la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or par 0.2 seconde. Toutefois, la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent de Ball a \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9e en \u00e9tablissant un record canadien sur la distance de 48.0 secondes. Avec ses co\u00e9quipiers Phil Edwards, Stan Glover et Alex Wilson, Ball a remport\u00e9 sa deuxi\u00e8me m\u00e9daille des Jeux, soit le bronze au relais 4×400 m. \u00c0 Los Angeles en 1932, Ball a atteint les demi-finales du 400 m et a remport\u00e9 une autre m\u00e9daille de bronze au relais 4×400 m avec Edwards, Wilson et Ray Lewis.<\/p>\n

Ball a grandi \u00e0 Dauphin au Manitoba et fut dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 du Dauphin Collegiate. Il a \u00e9tudi\u00e9 en pharmacie \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 du Manitoba o\u00f9, comme membre de l\u2019\u00e9quipe d\u2019athl\u00e9tisme universitaire, il a remport\u00e9 les titres du Manitoba et de l\u2019Ouest canadien au 400 m en 1925. Aux Championnats du Dominion de 1927 \u00e0 Toronto, Ball a remport\u00e9 des titres au 400 m et comme quatri\u00e8me coureur de l\u2019\u00e9quipe du relais 4×400 m de l\u2019Ouest canadien. Aux essais olympiques pour les Jeux d\u2019Amsterdam de 1928 tenus \u00e0 Hamilton en Ontario, Ball a remport\u00e9 le 400 m en \u00e9tablissant un record canadien dans les vagues pr\u00e9liminaires et en finale. Il a \u00e9tabli un record canadien au 300 verges aux Championnats canadiens en salle de 1929, pour ensuite remporter l\u2019argent au relais 4×440 verges des Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique de 1930, o\u00f9 il a aussi termin\u00e9 cinqui\u00e8me au 220 verges et 440 verges.<\/p>\n

En 1933, Ball a remport\u00e9 le troph\u00e9e Norton H. Crowe \u00e0 titre de meilleur athl\u00e8te canadien en plus de gagner un deuxi\u00e8me titre national au 400 m. L\u2019ann\u00e9e suivante, il a remport\u00e9 son troisi\u00e8me titre canadien du 400 m et il s\u2019est retir\u00e9 de la comp\u00e9tition.<\/p>\n

Ball fut intronis\u00e9 au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens en 1959, au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1973 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports du Manitoba en 1980.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
