Jeux de la XIXe<\/sup>\u00a0Olympiade<\/h2>\n

La s\u00e9lection de Mexico comme ville h\u00f4te des Jeux olympiques a suscit\u00e9 la controverse en raison de son altitude \u00e9lev\u00e9e. La capitale mexicaine est situ\u00e9e \u00e0 2 300 m au-dessus du niveau de la mer, mais l\u2019air rar\u00e9fi\u00e9 a eu des effets positifs comme n\u00e9gatifs sur les comp\u00e9titions. Si les performances des courses de fond ont \u00e9t\u00e9 exceptionnellement lentes, de nombreux sprinteurs ont r\u00e9ussi des records du monde. Le plus spectaculaire \u00e9tant celui de l\u2019Am\u00e9ricain Bob Beamon en saut en longueur. Il a saut\u00e9 si loin que l\u2019instrument de mesure optique a gliss\u00e9 de son rail avant de pouvoir atteindre le point o\u00f9 les pieds du sauteur ont touch\u00e9 le sol. Les officiels ont eu recours \u00e0 un ruban \u00e0 mesurer pour confirmer qu\u2019il avait battu le record du monde par 55 cm. Le record de 8,90 m a tenu pendant 23 ans.<\/p>\n

Ce sont aussi les Jeux o\u00f9 un autre Am\u00e9ricain, Dick Fosbury, a r\u00e9volutionn\u00e9 le saut en hauteur. Au lieu de sauter jambe premi\u00e8re en s\u2019\u00e9lan\u00e7ant ensuite avec son corps, il a remport\u00e9 la m\u00e9daille d\u2019or \u00e0 l\u2019aide de la technique du \u00ab Fosbury Flop \u00bb o\u00f9 l\u2019athl\u00e8te saute t\u00eate premi\u00e8re et dos \u00e0 la barre. L\u2019\u00e9toile canadienne des Jeux a \u00e9t\u00e9 la nageuse Elaine \u00ab Mighty Mouse \u00bb Tanner<\/a> qui a d\u00e9croch\u00e9 trois m\u00e9dailles. Elle a mis la main sur la m\u00e9daille d\u2019argent des \u00e9preuves individuelles du 100 m et du 200 m dos et fait \u00e9quipe avec Marilyn Corson<\/a>, Angela Coughlan<\/a>, et Marion Lay<\/a> pour remporter la m\u00e9daille de bronze du relais 4×100 m style libre. Ralph Hutton<\/a> a procur\u00e9 au Canada une quatri\u00e8me m\u00e9daille en piscine en montant sur la deuxi\u00e8me marche du podium de l\u2019\u00e9preuve du 400 m style libre. Le trio compos\u00e9 des cavaliers Jim Day<\/a>, Jim Elder<\/a> et Tom Gayford<\/a> a rafl\u00e9 la premi\u00e8re m\u00e9daille d\u2019or du Canada en sports \u00e9questres avec une victoire au concours de saut d\u2019obstacles par \u00e9quipe le dernier jour des Jeux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
