Philip Olsen is a former javelin thrower who competed in the finals in the 1976 Summer Olympics and won a gold medal at the 1978 Commonwealth Games. One of the most decorated track and field athletes in Canada, Phil Olsen still holds numerous provincial and national records in the javelin. Phil’s career began in 1970 in Nanaimo, while he attended Woodlands Secondary School. His meteoric rise started in 1973 with a gold medal performance at the Canada Summer Games in Burnaby. Phil broke a world junior record and was named the most outstanding athlete of the Canada Games. That same year, Phil also won the prestigious Viscount Alexander award for being the outstanding junior athlete in Canada. In 1974 as a grade 11 student, Phil won the BC high school javelin gold medal with a record throw that still stands today. Upon graduation from high school Phil was recruited by The University of Tennessee, one of the elite track and field programs in the US. During his brilliant four-year career at university, Phil was a four-time All South Eastern Conference performer and four-time All-American. His college highlight was his NCAA gold medal championship performance in 1976. Phil represented Canada on the international stage while attending Tennessee. As eleven times Canadian champion, Phil represented Canada at many international events. At the Montreal Olympics in 1976 Phil’s preliminary and qualifying throw of over 89 meters put him in the top three of the 37 competitors. He placed 11th in the finals the following day but at the age of 19 much more was to come. Following his senior season at Tennessee Phil represented Canada at the 1978 Commonwealth Games in Edmonton. His gold performance solidified his stature as one of the worlds best javelin throwers. Queen Elizabeth presented Phil with his gold medal. Only the boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics stopped Phil from possibly winning an Olympic medal. As the number three-ranked javelin thrower in the world at that time, Phil had a legitimate chance of winning an Olympic medal. Phil would go on to compete at the 1982 Commonwealth Games, placing fourth. Only an injury to his right shoulder prevented him from competing at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. He officially retired from the sport he loved in August 1985. In 1994 a panel of Canadian sports writers named Phil the greatest javelin thrower in Canadian history. Nanaimo is fortunate to have such an outstanding and dedicated athlete as Phil Olsen.
