In Pursuit of Gold, Silver and Bronze
In years past, Canadians who strived for hockey medals did so on blades of steel. Now, on skates comprised of complex alloys, players pass and shoot with sticks of graphite. Young baseball players swing for the fences with aluminum bats while skateboarders soar for the skies on wheels with aluminum bearings. Golfers shave strokes with graphite drivers. At local clubs and neighbourhood courts, tennis players call on the services of graphite-fibre and aluminum racquets to drive the ball beyond the reach of opponents.
