By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING – To paraphrase an old saying, every underdog has his day. And, Pickering sailor Bernard Luttmer believes the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens could be his time to shine. “For me to come through with a medal would be an amazing upset in the world. But, if they (the Greeks) can win the Euro- pean (soccer) championship, I can win gold in Athens,” proclaims Luttmer who, at 24, is the youngest of Canada’s 11 sailors going to Athens. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You go to the Olympics once, maybe twice, in your life, so you’ve really got to go for it. You can’t worry about whether you’re favoured or whether you’re not. On a good day, I can win a race. I just have to have six good days.” Of the 45 entered in the laser class, a one-man sailboat, Luttmer is ranked 15th best - a far cry from being a medal con- tender among the cream of the world’s crop. But, rankings and being a medal favourite won’t count for much when the varied weather and wind conditions are Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photos dished out in Athens, something Bernard Luttmer developed his sailing skills on the waters of Frenchman’s Bay.
