All-time list of Olympians from McGill
By Earl Zukerman
2003-04 McGill Athletics Release #4 (revised)
A 27-member contingent of current and former McGill University students, will be taking part -- as either athletes, coaches or officials -- at the Summer Olympic Games in Athens. The McGill "group" is composed of 16 athletes, four administrators, four therapists, two coaches and one referee.
Over the past century, McGill has produced a long list of students who have gone on to Olympic glory. McGill athletes have won a combined total of three gold medals, five silvers and 11 bronzes (excluding two bronzes by athletes who competed at the Games before attending McGill).
Topping the list is Dr. Phil Edwards. A graduate of the faculty of medicine, Edwards won a whopping five bronze medals while representing Canada at the 1928 Amsterdam Games, the 1932 Los Angeles Games and the 1936 Berlin Games. He was the only Canadian Olympian to win medals in three Olympic Games until short-track speed-skater Marc Gagnon equalled the feat in 2002. His Canadian record of five Olympic medals stood for 66 years before it was finally matched by Gagnon.
Only two McGill athletes to have won Olympic gold, including swimmer George Hodgson (who won two) at the 1912 Stockholm Games and hockey goaltender Kim St-Pierre at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games.
