lawrence lemieux

Lawrence Lemieux was a Canadian sailor from Edmonton who competed at the 1988 Summer Olympics in the Finn class. Lemieux was on course to win a silver medal but he noticed Joseph Chan of Singapore who had fallen out of his boat and was injured. Chan was struggling to stay afloat amid the currents. Lemieux abandoned the race and saved his competitor. This action caused Lemieux to slip from second place. He finished the event in eleventh place. At the closing ceremonies, IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch awarded Lemieux a medal more prestigious than even a gold. He was awarded the Pierre de Coubertin Medal for Sportsmanship. Lemieux has since retired from sailing and is now a noted coach.
