As part of our Storytelling Series: Celebrating Olympic & Paralympic Sport Heroes, we bring you the story of Phil Edwards. Phil Edwards was the ‘Man of Bronze,’ blazing a trail on the track in the late 1920s and early ‘30s. He won an incredible five Bronze Medals from three Olympic Games, making him Canada’s most decorated Olympian at the time. Notably, Phil won his fifth Olympic Medal – a figure not reached by another Canadian until 2002 – at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games. The 1936 Berlin Olympic Games were effectively a worldwide spectacle of Nazi propaganda. In the face of this openly racist and tyrannical regime, Phil Edwards defiantly showcased his ability. The Canadian Press wrote, “his third-place bronze medal in the 800-metre run and his fifth place in the 1,500-metre race not only added to Canada’s point totals but added Phil to the ranks of black athletes from many countries who shot holes in Hitler’s pure Aryan track army on their home field in Berlin.” Throughout his track career, Phil was also studying medicine at McGill University. After becoming the first black athlete from McGill to compete in the Olympic Games, he graduated in 1936, and received a graduate diploma in medicine in 1945, specializing in tropical diseases. In the 1930s, Dr. Edwards practiced medicine in the Caribbean for a couple of years before he left to serve with the Canadian Army as a captain during the Second World War. He would return to Montreal and practice at the Royal Victoria Hospital, before working with the Red Cross program in Congo in 1960. In 1957, Dr. Edwards and fellow Order of Sport recipient Jim Worrall initiated Canada's first international sports development project. This program, which was geared toward assisting young athletes in the eastern Caribbean, was the forerunner for the Canadian Sports Development Program. Dr. Phil Edwards passed away in 1971, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. Throughout his life, Dr. Phil was a courageous track superstar, Canada’s most decorated Olympian, Canadian Army captain, medical doctor, and sport equality champion.
