(VERSION FRANÇAISE CI-DESSOUS)
MONTREAL -- An 18-member entourage of McGill University graduates and/or students -- including a half-dozen athletes, two coaches and 10 administrators -- are among various official delegations headed to Sochi for the Winter Olympic Games, Feb. 7-23. Also, four grads will be attending the event as members of the media.
Heading the list of athletes are three products of the McGill Martlets hockey team, including Mélodie Daoust, a physical education student currently on sabbatical from school, who hails from Chateauguay, Que.. in addition to grads Charline Labonté (B.Ed. '12) of Boisbriand, Que., and Catherine Ward (B.Com '09) from the Town of Mt. Royal, Que.
Other athletes include snowboarder (half-pipe) Alexandra Duckworth, an arts student on leave, from Kingsburg, N.S., and cross-country skier Daria Gaiazova, a resident of Montreal, who was born in Moscow. She is a part-time commerce student who previously competed for Russia at the 2010 Vancouver Games. Competing for Ireland is Jan Rossiter (B.Sc '10), another nordic skier, born in Cork, Ireland but raised in Kingston, Ont. He is a former MVP of McGill's nordic ski team and has completed the Canadian ski marathon on three occasions.
McGill grads heading to Russia as coaches are Mike Babcock (hockey; B.Ed '86) from Saskatoon, and Fredericton-born Stephen Gough (speedskating; BA, '98) who also lived in Lachine, Que.
Babcock, a former McGill defenceman now working his second Olympics as bench boss for Canada, has won five national and/or international championships, including gold at the 2010 Vancouver Games.
Gough is a former Canadian Olympian at the 1994 Games in Lillehammer who later coached for Canada at the Vancouver Games and is now in charge of the American short-track speed-skating squad.
Rounding out the official delegation of McGillians are 10 officials, including IOC member Richard Pound (BCom '62, BCL '67) of Montreal and IOC director of legal affairs Howard Stupp (BEng '78, LLB '83, BCL '83) of Laval, Que.
Among the COC staff is Ray Lalonde (executive director of communications; B.Ed. '86), Derek Covington (director of team services; MA '92) of Montreal, Marie-Andrée Lessard (athlete services volunteer; BCom '01) of LaSalle, Que., Douglas Vandor (athlete services volunteer; BSc '98, MSc '01) of Dewittville, Que., and Marg McGregor (performance centre manager; MBA '02).
The COC medical staff includes Dr. Connie Lebrun (Chief Physician; MDCM '81) ) of Edmonton, Alta., and Véronique Carmel (physiotherapist, speedskating; BSc, '07) of Ste. Julie, Que., along with Dr. Wayne Halliwell (mental performance consultant; MA '73) of Beaconsfield, Que., who will be attending his 10th Olympic Games as a sports psychologist.
In addition, four grads are with the media, including former McGill lacrosse player Ben Davies (B.A. '01), who currently works with NBC as a director of production planning. With the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the Canadian TV rights broadcaster, is CBC president Hubert T. Lacroix (BCL '76, MBA '81), plus Olympic Morning show host David Amber (BA '93) and Jennifer Heil, a native of Spruce Grove, Alta., who graduated from McGill with a B.Com last May, won two Olympic medals and will be doing color commentary on CBC for the aerial skiing moguls events.
Not included in the official count listed above is an athlete with distant ties to McGill is Team Canada hockey defenceman Marc-Édouard Vlasic, whose father Edward (BSc. '79, B.Eng '83) and uncle John (B.Com '83) both played varsity hockey for the McGill Redmen. His brother Thomas is currently doing grad studies at McGill in chemical engineering and his grandfather Dr. Ivan Vlasic (LLM '55) went on to become a law professor at McGill.
McGill has a long tradition of involvement with the Olympics and the University's Percival Molson Stadium served as the field hockey tournament venue for the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal. The athletes heading to Sochi are among 122 McGill students or grads that have gone on to Olympic glory over the past century. These McGillians have won a combined total of 31 Olympic medals, nine of them golden, in addition to eight silvers and 14 bronzes.
McGill's first-ever Olympian was the legendary Percival Molson, who competed in track and field at the 1904 Summer Games in St. Louis. The University has also had one of its athletes serve as flagbearer -- boxer Dr. George B. Maughan at the 1932 Games in Los Angeles.
R. Tait McKenzie, a renowned McGill gymnast, was the only artist to take part in five Olympics art competitions, winning a bronze medal at the 1932 Los Angeles Games in "mixed sculpturing - medals and reliefs."
The most decorated McGill Olympian is the late
Dr. Phil Edwards, a graduate from the faculty of medicine, who racked up five bronze medals while representing Canada at the Summer Games in Amsterdam (1928), Los Angeles (1932) and Berlin (1936). He was the first Canadian male to win medals in three different Olympiads and his achievement stood for 66 years until matched by short-track speed-skater
Marc Gagnon (1994, 1998, 2002), who claimed three golds and a pair of bronzes.
Six McGill students have won Olympic gold, five of them at the Winter Games.
Hockey goaltender Kim St-Pierre earned gold at three Olympiads (2002 in Salt Lake City, 2006 in Turin and 2010 in Vancouver). Two of her McGill teammates -- Charline Labonté and Catherine Ward -- also were part of the golden squad in 2010, which added to the gold that Labonté won at the 2006 Games. Freestyle skier Jennifer Heil struck gold at the 2006 Games and silver in 2010.
Swimmer
George Hodgson, who reached the top of the podium twice at Stockholm in 1912, is the only McGillian to strike gold at the Summer Games

Dix-huit McGillois en route vers les Olympiques d'hiver de Sotchi
MONTRÉAL - Un groupe de 18 représentants -- presénts et anciens -- de l'Université McGill incluant une demi-douzaine d'athlètes, deux entraîneurs et 10 administrateurs font partie de différentes délégations qui prendront part aux Jeux olympiques d'hiver de Sotchi, du 7 au 23 février. De plus, trois membres des médias diplômés de McGill feront aussi le voyage en Russie.
Trois hockeyeuses ayant porté les couleurs des Martlets viennent en tête de liste du côté des athlètes, soit
Mélodie Daoust, une étudiante en éducation physique originaire de Châteauguay, Qué., qui sera de retour à McGill en septembre prochain après une année sabbatique consacrée à l'équipe olympique, ainsi que les diplômées
Charline Labonté (B.Ed. '12) de Boisbriand, Qué., et
Catherine Ward (B.Com. '09) de Ville Mont-Royal, Qué.
Les autres athlètes mcgillois qui s'exécuteront à Sotchi sont la surfeuse des neiges (demi-lune)
Alexandra Duckworth, étudiante en arts de Kingsburg, N.-É., présentement en sabbatique; la fondeuse
Daria Gaiazova, une étudiante à temps partiel qui a grandi à Banff, Alb., mais est née à Moscou, et qui a représenté la Russie pour une première fois en 2010 à Vancouver; puis le fondeur
Jan Rossiter (B.Sc. '10), né à Cork en Irlande mais élevé à Kingston, Ont., qui représentera lui aussi son pays d'origine.
Chez les entraîneurs,
Mike Babcock (B.Ed. '86) de Saskatoon sera de nouveau derrière le banc de l'équipe masculine canadienne de hockey, alors que
Stephen Gough (BA, '98) de Fredericton, qui habitait à Lachine, Qué., lorsqu'il étudiait a McGill, est aux commandes de la formation américaine de patinage de vitesse sur courte piste.
Babcock a remporté cinq titres nationaux ou internationaux au cours de sa carrière d'entraîneur, incluant la médaille d'or aux Jeux de Vancouver en 2010. Gough, qui a lui-même patiné aux Jeux de Lillehammer en 1994, dirigeait l'équipe canadienne de courte piste à Vancouver.
Parmi les 10 administrateurs ayant des liens avec McGill qui seront à Sotchi sont
Richard Pound (BCom'62, BCL'67), un Montréalais membre du Comité International Olympique et
Howard Stupp (B.Eng '78, LLB '83, BCL '83) de Laval, Qué., qui est le directeur des affaire légales avec le CIO.
Représentant le staff du Comité olympique canadien soit
Ray Lalonde (directeur exécutif des communications; B.Ed. '86) de Trois-Rivières, le Montréalais
Derek Covington (directeur des services aux équipes; MA '92),
Marie-Andrée Lessard (agent des services aux athlètes; B.Com '01) de LaSalle, Qué.,
Douglas Vandor (agent des services aux athlètes; BSc '98, MSc '01) de Dewittville, Qué,, et

Ben Davies (BA '01), un ancien joueur de la crosse, qui travaille avec NBC comme directeur de "production planning".
Un autre athlète ayant des liens avec McGill, quoiqu'un peu plus éloignés dans son cas, est le défenseur
Marc-Édouard Vlasic, qui portera les couleurs de l'équipe masculine de hockey du Canada. Son père,
Edward (B.Sc. '79, B. Eng. '83), et son oncle,
Thomas (B.Com '83), ont tous deux joué au hockey pour les Redmen et son grand-père, le
Dr Ivan Vlasic (LLM '55), fut professeur à l'Université.
McGill possède une longue tradition lorsqu'il est question des Olympiques. Le stade Percival-Molson était le site de compétition pour les matchs de hockey sur gazon lors des Jeux d'été de Montréal en 1976.
Les six athlètes ci-haut mentionnés portent à 122 le nombre d'étudiants de McGill ayant participé aux Olympiques au cours du dernier centenaire. Au fil des ans, les Mcgillois ont gagné 31 médailles olympiques, incluant neuf d'or, huit d'argent et 14 de bronze.
Le premier Olympien issu de McGill fut le légendaire
Percival Molson, qui a participé aux Jeux d'été de 1904 à St-Louis en athlétisme. L'Université a aussi vu un de ses athlètes être choisi comme porte-étendard, soit le boxeur
Dr. George B. Maughan aux Jeux de 1932 à Los Angeles.
R. Tait McKenzie, un gymnaste de renom, est quant à lui le seul artiste à avoir pris part à cinq compétitions artistiques olympiques, remportant une médaille de bronze aux Jeux de 1932 en "Sculpture assortie - médaillons et reliefs."
Le Mcgillois le plus décoré est feu
Dr. Phil Edwards, diplômé de la faculté de médecine. Edwards a amassé cinq médailles de bronze pour le Canada aux Jeux d'été d'Amsterdam (1928), Los Angeles (1932) et Berlin (1936). Il fut le premier Canadien à grimper sur le podium lors de trois Olympiades, un exploit égalé 66 ans plus tard par le patineur de vitesse sur courte piste
Marc Gagnon, qui a récolté trois médailles d'or et deux de bronze lors de ses participations en 1994, 1998 et 2002.
Six étudiants de McGill ont remporté l'or aux Olympiques, incluant cinq aux Jeux hivernaux.
La gardienne de but
Kim St-Pierre a mérité trois médailles d'or en hockey, soit en 2002 à Salt Lake City, 2006 à Turin et 2010 à Vancouver.
