He won a complete set of medals at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships with gold (K-1 500 m: 1991), a silver (K-1 500 m: 1993), and a bronze (K-1 200 m: 1995). Crichlow also competed in three Summer Olympics, earning his best finish of seventh in the K-4 1000 m event at Atlanta in 1996.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/cr/renn-crichlow-1.html )〕 Crichlow was born in Ottawa, Canada and grew up in the Ottawa suburb of Nepean. He pursued many sports and eventually found his way to the Rideau Canoe Club. He won his first Canadian Canoe Association National Championship at the age of 16. Crichlow went on to become Canada's most successful male sprint kayaker up to that time. He was the first Canadian male kayaker to win a medal at the Junior World Championships and the first to win a World Championship gold. In 1995, Crichlow was admitted to Harvard Medical School and began his training as a medical doctor, while still active as an international competitor in canoe-kayak. After completing his medical studies, Crichlow moved to Indianapolis to begin practicing medicine as an orthopaedic surgeon. The trophy given annually to the winner of the CanoeKayak Canada national sprint championship in Men's U17 K-1 1000m is named in Crichlow's honour. == References == *(ICF medalists for Olympic and World Championships - Part 1: flatwater (now sprint): 1936-2007. ) *(ICF medalists for Olympic and World Championships - Part 2: rest of flatwater (now sprint) and remaining canoeing disciplines: 1936-2007. ) 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「Renn Crichlow」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
