September 28 , Canadian athletes learned sad news:Pierre Trudeau , their country's 15th prime minister, from1968 to1984 , with a brief interruption in1979 , and one of the most respected Canadian statesmen ever, died at his home inMontreal (It was September 28 when Trudeau died, however due to time difference, it was September 29 in Sydney).Juan Antonio Samaranch , presiding over his last Olympics asIOC president , ordered theCanadian flag at athletes' village lowered to half-staff on orders from Canadian Foreign Affairs MinisterLloyd Axworthy . As the flag was lowered to half-staff, Canadian athletes paid tribute to the late former prime minister. During medal ceremonies, whenever the Canadian flag flew, it was flown at half-mast, also on orders from Samaranch and Axworthy. They both ordered the Canadian flag flown at half-staff for the remainder of the Olympics, as the state funeral didn't take place until October 3.During the closing ceremonies on
October 1 , Trudeau was lying in state. Some Canadian athletes who planned to take part in the closing ceremonies chose not to attend it so that they could travel home and like many Canadians, head to Ottawa and pay their respects.References
