WhlItby's Most WidêIy Read CLASSIFIED ADS, Ottenbrite edgedont forEs u By Dave Stubbs Dave St 1i1n a sport ofte.n dom i.nated by ali-around ath. letes, 'Dan Thompson isi specialist. The 27-year-old native oi Toronto carne to the, receni Esso Cup national Swim. ming championships jr >Montreal to compete in jusi one event -- the 100-rr buttèrfly. And when he boa rded h is f1i ght for home, he left, with a gold medat, a Canadian and Common- wealth record, The Esso Cup 'for the outstanding swim of the meet, and not so much as a pang of guilt for winningthe,,big prize with just on e swim. The Esso Cup is the most prestigiouîs annual swim- rning competition in Canada. This year, it served as the national champion- ships and the trials to select .».two Canadian teams -- to the Pan Amierican Gamnes in Venezuela and the Pan- Pacific Games in Tokyo, both slated for late August. As Canadas senior citi- zen of the swimming lanes, Thompson sees him-self. as an exception to the rule. "Society says when you're my age, you shouid be married with 2.2 kids, a dog and a station wagon," Thompson said in a recent interview with 'Swim Mag- azine'. "Somietinmes you view yourself as a swim- ming bum. Even as an A- carded athiete (ranked in the worid's top three), you think, 'AlI1 can really do in this worid is swim,' that can be pretty f rustrati ng. " It is perhaps fitting that an athiete who specializes in breaking records shouid break ail the unwrit-ten ruies that are so closeiy adhered ta by almost ail of the world's top swimmners. Thompson began swim- mi ng atthe age of 17, when many swimm-ers are drop- ping out ta pursue more normal life-styles. He didn't swim every' distance of every event, another ab- normality l0years ago, and concentrated on the sprints. And instead of tail- ing off as ha got older, Thompson got better with age. He's called "Grandpa " or 'The Fossil" by those who know him well. But Thomp- son's iaughing the loudest, :ubbs la informiation Services Manager for the Canadian Amnateur Swimming Association. today. He went into ThE Esso Cup competition as ar a almost semiretired athiete' working for a living at, fToronto sports mnarketinc tagency. While ha is follov- ing ati east some ofsociety' rules, he still lives largelý t, by his own. ln an era wher many of the worid's best swimmers train up ta 100,000m a week, Thomp- son trains an hour or twoa day, if he feels s0 inclined. Ail he did in Montreai 1was cover the 1 00-m butter- fly distance in 54.,51 sec- onds. That crushed the Commonwealth- record of 54.71 he- sel at the Com- monwealth Games in Bris- bane last fail, supposedly his iast meet. Unabie ta re- 1tire after.that performance, he competed ai the Cana- dian winter national cham- pionships in New West- minster, B.C., iast March and equaled, ta the hun- dredth of a second, the short-course (25-m pool) worid record in the 100-m butterfly. Now, Thompson is think- ing of the 1984 Olympic Games. "I hope the coaches and athietes take notice that you can swim one event at a world-class level and that you don't need ta swim 10 events," said Thompson, growing perhaps a littie weary of his critics. In fact, Thompson sees his decision ta specialize as the turning point in his career., ."In 1979, 1 swam 54.89 in the 100 fly, which was a Canadian record at the lime. But 1 had swum every event leading up ta that race. 1 was exhausted when I set the record, and 1 know 1 could have done better in that instance." Bryon MacDonald, a world-ranked butterflier in the mid-70s, coaches Thompson, or rather super- vises him, at the University of Toronto Swim Cl ub. "I know the stroke mill, how ta train, how ta raoe and how ta approech inter- national competition, " MacDonald says., "Dan sees in me somneone who iasted as an athiete until age 26 and- did lifetimne bests without training five hours a day during the, last couple of years." The Esso Cup itself is awarded each year ta the swimmer who puts in ýthe best -- performance com- Jpared ta the existing worid record, on a. percentage Sbasis. This year, ta any scriptwriter's delight, the race for the trophy camre down.ta the last night, and it was..between Thompson and Anne Ottenbrite, the i17-year-old breaststroke phenomenon from Whitby, Ont. Thompson swam f irst,. and with his 54.51, it was up ta Ottenbrite ta race the 200-m breaststroke- faster than 2:30.28, aimost two full seconds under her own' Commonwealth record, 'ta win the Cup. She missed, racing 2:30.55, easily de- stroying her Comm-on- wealth mark, but just falling short of becoming the f irst female ta win the Cup in its four-year history. Months ago, it was thought that the baetle for The Esso Cup wauld be a two-man duel, between world-record hoiders Alex Baumann of Sudbury and Vic Davis of Waterloo. But bath withdrew from the meet, aaumann because of the death of his father two weeks before the, campeti- tion, and Davis due toaa bout with monanucleosis. That threw the race for the Cup wide open. in the mneantime, sponsors of the competition, Imperial' Ou Limited, had baught a man's wristwatch, ta be awarded ta the winner. When Anne Ottenbrite shattered her own Comm-on- wealth record of 1:10.96 in the 100-m breaststroke, and laoked ta be set ta do the same in the 200 on the last night, they rushed out and bought a vioman's watch, just in case. But rather than return il upon, Thompson's victory,i they awarded iltotaOtten- 1 brite at the swimmers'r breakfast the next morning,f in recognitian of her sensa- tional performance at the t met.wsprasasmoî gesture, too. In the long shadowvs cast by the power- fui national men's teem in recent years, the womnen stood up and were noticed at this yeer's Esso Cup, swi mm!ing their best- nat- ionals since the 1980 Olym- pic trials and, deservediy, getting the miost 0f the at- tention. Julie Daigneault,' 18, Of Pointe Claire, -Que., estab- lished two Cat-iadian records of 4:12.83 in the 400-m f reestyle and 8:41.1i0 in the 800-m f ree event, erasing t he 400-m mark that had been in the record books since the 1976 Montreal Oiympic Games. "Julie, is an' important part of what is happening ta wome>-n's swimming in Canada," says Dave John- son of Edmonton, head coach of the women's team ta the Pan-American Gamnes. "The girls have really' turned things around," he continues, referring toaa Canadian women's program that has be;en rather lack- l ustre since the 1976' Games. 'There is a signifi- cent improvement -frrna year ago. Far more vomen are making the world iists of top 16 performances. " Michelle MacPherson, a 16-year-old from the Etobi- coke, Ont., Swim Club, set a Canadian record of 2:18.00 in the 200-m individuïal mediey. She was high points winner for the women., Add Ottenbrite's two Canadian and Common-, wealth records in the breast- stroke, and Pointe Claire Swim CIlub's 4 x 200-m free-, style relay Canadian mark of 8:22.97, set by Daig- neault, Karen and Kath- erine Ward, and Miriamn Ticktin, -and ana cen sas why the womnen wAere in the Deigneault won the 200 f reestyle as well, giving her three individuel golds for the meet. Peter Szmidt of Edmonton, winner of the inaugural Esso Cup in 1980, elso won three gald mnedals ta teke the men's high points trophy. There were sarne- ex- tremely gaod performances on the men's side, but Dan Thompson was the only rren ta break a record at the 1983 Esso Cup. And Thompson proudly points oui he came oui of his rocking chair ta do it. Bridge resuits The followlng are the resuits of,, duplicate bridge play at the Whît- by Curling Club. North and South: Mirs.
