 Members of the Canadian 4-men bobsled team, gold medal winners at the 1964 Winter Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria, photographer unknown In the late 1950s and early 1960s, although there were neither training facilities nor tracks in Canada, Vic Emery (born 1933) assembled a team made up of his brother John (born 1932), Peter Kirby (born 1931) and Doug Anakin (born 1930), to represent Canada for the first time in an international competition. At the 1964 Winter Olympics, they surprised the favoured European teams by winning the gold medal. The following year, Vic Emery and Peter Kirby led another foursome to a world championship. |
