“Golden” - 1996 Olympic relay team to be inducted to Canadian
Sports Hall of Fame
OTTAWA – Athletics Canada congratulates the 1996 Olympic Games gold
medal winning 4x100 metres relay team which will be inducted to the
Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. The team of Donovan Bailey, Carleton
Chambers, Robert Esmie, Glenroy Gilbert and Bruny Surin will be inducted
on November 5th 2008 at a ceremony in Toronto. The announcement was made
today by Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame.
The coming summer will mark the 12th anniversary of that remarkable
night in Atlanta when five young men captured the country’s imagination.
The picture of Surin raising his arms triumphantly as Bailey sprints to
the finish line is still engrained in most Canadians minds Bailey was a
double gold medalist in Atlanta winning 100 metre gold in a then World
record time of 9.84. The relay team’s victory only days later on August
8th gave Canada its first two gold medals in athletics since the 1928
Games in Amsterdam.
Going into Atlanta the team were reigning world champions and had also
won gold at the Commonwealth Games. They were inducted into the Canadian
Olympic Committee Hall of Fame in 2004.

SIRC Newsletter – May 2008
The World’s leading provider of sport information and research
Pregnancy and Sport
Exercising during pregnancy is becoming more popular as it has been
known to limit weight gain during the pregnancy, help with delivery and
make returning to exercise after the birth much easier. With the increase
in the number of female athletes, pregnancy in sport has become a hot
topic as it raises a number of legal, ethical, medical and even insurance
issues. With so much research being done in this area SIRC is pleased to
share with you some of the most recent material covering everything from
being active during pregnancy to training while pregnant.
