Heavy Medal: UBC’s Olympic History
As UBC this year celebrates the Centenary of the University Act, we look back at our Olympic history. In 1928, Harry Warren became UBC’s first Olympian, running track at the Summer Games in Amsterdam. Since then, 213 UBC athletes, coaches and managers have competed for Canada at the Olympics.
