Timeline
The annual John Semmelink Memorial Award was initiated by the Canadian Amateur Ski Association in November 1961 to recognize the athlete who, "through sportsmanship, conduct, and ability, best represents Canada in international competition." The first recipient was alpine racer Anne Heggtveit of Ontario, Olympic gold medalist in the women's slalom in 1960. The award is made of granite from Mont Tremblant, "a mountain that he loved and skied so well on." The Canadian Snowsports Association currently presents the award.
During his final race, Semmelink wore a leather helmet, which was more protection than many racers used at the time. The U.S. Ski Team first wore crash helmets at the 1956 Winter Olympics, but most of the Europeans went without. Following Semmelink's death, crash helmets became mandatory in the downhill event, beginning with the 1960 Winter Olympics.
At the World Championships from 1954 through 1980, the combined was a "paper race" using the results of the three events (DH, GS, SL).
The family relocated to Canada in 1950 and he became a naturalized citizen at age 18 in 1957. Semmelink was enrolled at McGill University in Montreal for a year. He won the Commonwealth ski championship in St. Moritz in January 1958, and competed at the World Championships in 1958 at Bad Gastein, Austria.
The following year, Semmelink entered the Arlberg-Kandahar downhill race on the Kreuzeck at Garmisch in Bavaria, West Germany. Held on an icy course in challenging conditions of fog and flat light, Semmerlink was the 44th racer on the Kandahar course. At a lower section named Himmelreich (heaven) just 500 yards (460 m) from the finish, witnesses said one of his bindings opened and he crashed into a rock-filled gully. Semmerlink had a serious head injury and was taken by U.S. Army helicopter to a nearby U.S. military dispensary, but died of his injuries. Of the 89 starters, 39 did not finish the race.
Herman Jan "John" Semmelink (December 17, 1938 – February 7, 1959) was an alpine ski racer from Canada.
