Double m\u00e9daill\u00e9 olympique en aviron, Don Arnold a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or au quatre de pointe sans barreur aux Jeux olympiques de 1956 \u00e0 Melbourne et une m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent dans l\u2019\u00e9preuve du huit aux Jeux olympiques de 1960 \u00e0 Rome.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don Arnold a commenc\u00e9 comme rempla\u00e7ant au sein de l\u2019\u00e9quipage du huit sans barreur de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique (UBC). Au cours de leur entra\u00eenement, ils ont particip\u00e9 aux Essais olympiques au quatre de pointe sans barreur aux qualifications olympiques canadiennes, qu\u2019ils ont remport\u00e9, leur permettant de repr\u00e9senter le Canada aux Jeux de Melbourne en 1956. En finale olympique, ils n\u2019ont jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 menac\u00e9s dans leur qu\u00eate vers l\u2019or. Arnold, chef de nage de l\u2019\u00e9quipe surnomm\u00e9e \u00ab Cinderella 4 \u00bb aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de Walter D\u2019Hondt, Lorne Loomer et Archie MacKinnon ont pris la t\u00eate \u00e0 mi-chemin de la course, finissant leur parcours 10 secondes devant les Am\u00e9ricains. C\u2019\u00e9tait la premi\u00e8re m\u00e9daille olympique canadienne en aviron. \u00c0 Rome en 1960, Arnold faisait partie de l\u2019\u00e9quipage \u00e0 huit du Canada, compos\u00e9 des membres de l\u2019UBC, qui \u00e9tait loin d\u2019\u00eatre favori pour mettre la main sur la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or. \u00c0 l\u2019occasion de la finale olympique, l\u2019\u00e9quipage canadien est demeur\u00e9 nez \u00e0 nez avec le bateau favori. Avec 200 m \u00e0 faire \u00e0 la course, les Allemands se sont distanc\u00e9s et Arnold a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent en compagnie de ses co\u00e9quipiers D\u2019Hondt, David Anderson, Sohen Biln, Nelson Kuhn, John Lecky, Archie MacKinnon, Bill McKerlich et Glen Mervyn. Cette m\u00e9daille s\u2019est av\u00e9r\u00e9e \u00eatre la seule du Canada \u00e0 ces Jeux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En finale du huit masculin des Jeux de l\u2019Empire et du Commonwealth britannique, Arnold et son \u00e9quipage du quatre de pointe sans barreur qui ont remport\u00e9 l\u2019or \u00e0 Melbourne en 1956, ont domin\u00e9 leurs comp\u00e9titeurs et termin\u00e9 au sommet du podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s avoir termin\u00e9 ses \u00e9tudes de l\u2019UBC en 1962, Arnold a re\u00e7u le prix Bobby Gaul, soit le plus grand honneur pouvant \u00eatre octroy\u00e9 \u00e0 un athl\u00e8te finissant de l\u2019UBC. Il a \u00e9ventuellement obtenu son doctorat en Loisirs ext\u00e9rieurs et gestion des ressources de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de l\u2019Indiana \u00e0 Bloomington en 1970, o\u00f9 il a \u00e9t\u00e9 nomm\u00e9 l’athl\u00e8te finissant par excellence. Arnold a \u00e9t\u00e9 honor\u00e9 pour ses contributions au sport par les provinces de la Colombie-Britannique et de l\u2019Ontario, en plus de recevoir une m\u00e9daille d\u2019honneur de l\u2019Association canadienne d\u2019aviron amateur (ACAA) pour ses contributions exceptionnelles \u00e0 l\u2019aviron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En compagnie de son \u00e9quipage qui a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or, Arnold a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens en 1957, 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 1993 et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e de l\u2019aviron canadien en 2018. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 une deuxi\u00e8me fois au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de la Colombie-Britannique (1977) et au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e des sports de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique (2012) pour sa m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent aux Jeux de 1960 \u00e0 Rome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
