\"fairbairn\"<\/a>Lors de sa premi\u00e8re saison de comp\u00e9tition en skeleton, John Fairbairn a eu la chance d\u2019apprendre avec l\u2019un des meilleurs de la discipline. Peu apr\u00e8s ses d\u00e9buts, en novembre 2006, Fairbairn a fait son entr\u00e9e sur le circuit de la Coupe nord-am\u00e9ricaine sous la tutelle du nouveau champion olympique, Duff Gibson. Des progr\u00e8s r\u00e9guliers lui ont permis d\u2019acc\u00e9der \u00e0 la Coupe d\u2019Europe et \u00e0 la Coupe intercontinentale avant de faire son entr\u00e9e en Coupe du monde en novembre 2010.<\/p>\n

Avant de faire ses d\u00e9buts en Coupe du monde, John a eu la chance d\u2019avoir un avant-go\u00fbt des Jeux olympiques. Lors des Jeux de 2010 \u00e0 Vancouver, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 ouvreur de piste et il voit son exp\u00e9rience comme une r\u00e9p\u00e9tition g\u00e9n\u00e9rale. Vancouver lui aura permis d\u2019apprendre comment se pr\u00e9parer en vue des Jeux olympiques et y performer.<\/p>\n

Il a particip\u00e9 aux Championnats du monde \u00e0 trois reprises, et il a obtenu son meilleur r\u00e9sultat en 2012 en terminant au 10e<\/sup> rang. Il a termin\u00e9 la saison 2012-2013 au 9e<\/sup> rang au Centre des sports de glisse Sanki. Il s\u2019agit du meilleur r\u00e9sultat d\u2019un athl\u00e8te masculin canadien de la Coupe du monde qui servait aussi d\u2019\u00e9preuve test en vue des Jeux olympiques.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 PROPOS DE L\u2019ATHL\u00c8TE<\/h2>\n

Introduction au sport : <\/b>John a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 faire du skeleton \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 22 ans. Il faisait auparavant de l\u2019athl\u00e9tisme \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Calgary. Lorsqu\u2019il a obtenu son dipl\u00f4me, il voulait essayer un sport comp\u00e9titif. Il s\u2019est mis au skeleton \u00e0 l\u2019automne\u00a02006 parce que le sport lui permettait de mettre \u00e0 profit ses habilet\u00e9s en athl\u00e9tisme… Autres int\u00e9r\u00eats :<\/strong> Il aime lire des livres \u00ab\u00a0s\u00e9rieux\u00a0\u00bb sur l\u2019astrophysique. Il travaille comme ing\u00e9nieur en m\u00e9canique dans l\u2019industrie du p\u00e9trole et du gaz. Il a obtenu un dipl\u00f4me en g\u00e9nie m\u00e9canique de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Calgary en juin 2006… De tout et de rien :<\/strong> Son r\u00eave olympique est n\u00e9 quand il a vu Donovan Bailey triompher au 100\u00a0m aux Jeux de 1996 \u00e0 Atlanta. Le kayakiste olympique Adam van Koeverden l\u2019inspire puisque comme lui, il n\u2019avait pas de succ\u00e8s dans les sports traditionnels quand il \u00e9tait jeune, et il a d\u00fb trouver le sport qui lui convenait. Son porte-bonheur est une m\u00e9daille de l\u2019archange Rapha\u00ebl qu\u2019on dit \u00eatre l\u2019ange des voyageurs, de la vitesse et de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. La veille d\u2019une comp\u00e9tition, il aime regarder des \u00e9pisodes de How I Met Your Mother<\/i> en pr\u00e9parant sa luge. Son mantra est\u00a0: si ce n\u2019\u00e9tait pas difficile, tout le monde le ferait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
