Cinq fois Olympien, Gilmor Boa a mis la main sur la m\u00e9daille de bronze pour le Canada \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9preuve de carabine de petit calibre 50 m aux Jeux olympiques de 1956 \u00e0 Melbourne.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gilbert Boa a fait ses d\u00e9buts olympiques \u00e0 Helsinki en 1952 alors qu\u2019il s\u2019est retrouv\u00e9 dans une triple \u00e9galit\u00e9 pour la troisi\u00e8me place au petit calibre de 50 m avec l\u2019Am\u00e9ricain Art Jackson et l\u2019Allemand Erich Spoerer, chacun ayant amass\u00e9 399 points sur une possibilit\u00e9 de 400. Au premier bris d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 Boa et Jackson ont atteint l\u2019anneau du centre le plus souvent, mais c\u2019est Jackson qui a obtenu le tir le plus pr\u00e9cis et il a remport\u00e9 le bronze, rel\u00e9guant Boa au quatri\u00e8me rang.<\/p>\n

C\u2019est \u00e0 sa deuxi\u00e8me pr\u00e9sence olympique \u00e0 Melbourne en 1956 que Boa a obtenu ses meilleurs r\u00e9sultats aux Jeux, m\u00eame s\u2019il s\u2019est \u00e0 nouveau retrouv\u00e9 dans une \u00e9galit\u00e9 \u00e0 quatre pour la troisi\u00e8me place. Le bris d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 en sa faveur cette fois et il a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille de bronze, partageant le podium avec son compatriote Gerry Ouellette (avec qui il a partag\u00e9 une carabine pendant la comp\u00e9tition).<\/p>\n

Boa a particip\u00e9 aux trois Jeux olympiques suivants (Rome 1960, Tokyo 1964, Munich 1972), mais il s\u2019est seulement approch\u00e9 du podium \u00e0 la carabine de petit calibre 50 m \u00e0 Munich o\u00f9 il a pris le quatri\u00e8me rang (sans bris d\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9). Il a aussi \u00e9t\u00e9 le porte-drapeau du Canada \u00e0 la c\u00e9r\u00e9monie d\u2019ouverture de ces Jeux.<\/p>\n

Un des titres majeurs de Boa a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 Caracas, au Venezuela en 1954 quand il a \u00e9tabli un record du monde (598 sur 600) pour mettre la main le titre mondial \u00e0 la carabine 50+100 m, d\u00e9crochant la seule m\u00e9daille du Canada \u00e0 cette comp\u00e9tition \u00e9v\u00e9nement. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 le m\u00e9daill\u00e9 d\u2019or au petit calibre en 1966 aux Jeux de l\u2019Empire britannique et du Commonwealth et a termin\u00e9 sixi\u00e8me \u00e0 la carabine 50 m debout aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains de 1967. Boa a connu son plus grand succ\u00e8s en carri\u00e8re aux Jeux panam\u00e9ricains de 1971 \u00e0 Cali en Colombie, remportant l\u2019argent au 50 m debout et le bronze au 50 m debout, par \u00e9quipes.<\/p>\n

Au cours d\u2019une carri\u00e8re en tir qui a d\u00e9marr\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 13 ans et qui a dur\u00e9 trois d\u00e9cennies, Boa a pris sa retraite comme un des meilleurs tireurs au Canada. Venant d\u2019une famille qui s\u2019adonnait \u00e0 ce sport, Boa est le fils de James Boa, un tireur international et champion du monde en 1923 \u00e0 la carabine militaire 300 m debout. Son grand-p\u00e8re Andrew Boa, son fr\u00e8re et ses enfants ont tous fait de la comp\u00e9tition de tir. Gilmour Boa est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 d\u2019une h\u00e9morragie au cerveau en 1973. Il n\u2019avait que 49 ans.<\/p>\n

Boa a fr\u00e9quent\u00e9 l\u2019Institut coll\u00e9gial Oakwood de Toronto. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 intronis\u00e9 au Temple de la renomm\u00e9e olympique du Canada en 1955 et au Panth\u00e9on des sports canadiens en 1958.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
