The Ottoz family is a sporting family consisting of many athletes, one of whom became a manager in the world of athletics. Sandro Calvesi (1913–1980), the ''capostipite'' of the Calvesi family, coached the Italian hurdler Eddy Ottoz, who afterwards became his son-in-law through his marriage with Lyana Calvesi. Calvesi was also the first coach of French Olympic champion Guy Drut. He was also the promoter of the athletic club, ''Atletica Brescia''. ==History== Calvesi's wife was Gabre Gabric, a former athlete who participated at 1936 Summer Olympics and 1948 Summer Olympics. In 1936 she finished tenth in the Olympic discus throw event. Twelve years later she finished 17th in the discus throw competition at the 1948 Olympics. At the 1938 European Championships in Athletics she finished sixth in the discus throw contest and at the 1946 European Championships in Athletics she finished seventh in the discus throw event. In 2008 she competed at the Veterans Athletic Championships and,〔(16th European Veterans Athletic Championships Ljubljana 2008 )〕 following the 2011 death of Alfred Proksch, was the last known track and field competitor from the 1936 Olympic Games to still be competing. Gabre Gabric's daughter, Lyana Calvesi (born 1944), is a former athlete who afterward assumed the role of manager of several Masters athletics teams and before founding the athletic master club, ''Atletica Calvesi''. She married Eddy Ottoz (born 1944), a former Italian hurdler (bronze medal in 1968 Summer Olympics and 5 times European champion) before becoming the manager of the Italian National Olympic Committee from 2001. He represented Italy at the 1964 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan, and the 1968 Summer Olympics held in Mexico City, Mexico, where he won the bronze medal in the 110-metre hurdles event. The couple had three children. Laurent Ottoz (born 1970) is a former Italian hurdler and member of FIDAL committee. In 1994 26 years after his father, Laurent Ottoz, broke the national record by completing the 110 metres hurdles in 13:42 seconds in Berlin. After this he changed event to the 400 metres hurdles. His personal best time is 48:52 seconds, and in Italy only Fabrizio Mori has a better record.〔(Italian all-time list, men's 400 metres hurdles )〕 In 1995, Laurent set the fastest automatically recorded time for the rarely run 200 metres low hurdles at 22.55, surpassing the best previously set by Colin Jackson, arguable the best hurdler of that time. His mark is current world best performance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Daegu 2011 Statistics Book - Part 1 (of 5) )〕 Patrick Ottoz (born 1971) is a former Italian hurdler, while Pilar Ottoz (born 1972), is a former Italian athlete who became a journalist with the Italian public broadcaster, RAI. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ottoz family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
