YUG The famous pair, Kliefoth and Kruse, who had been such brilliant European champions the previous year, were absent, because of Kliefoth’s illness, they had not been selected after the German trials. The Soviet oars men, V. Boryeko and 0. Golovanov, and the Austrians, J. Kloimstein and A. Sageder, who had finished second and third in Macon, were very happy to move up a grade. The 1958 European champions, the Finns Lehtela and Pitkanen, took third place on the podium. lx: 1. URS 2. GER 3. POL 4. NZL 5. USA ^ 6. ITA As in 1956, the European champion, Viatcheslav Ivanov, won. The East German, A. Hill, was next in line to him, having beaten Von Fersen, who normally always came se cond, in the joint German trials. Teodor Korceka, a form er European champion, won the bronze medal. 2 + : 1.

Knubel and H. Renneberg came to the fore. Praise was due to the coaches of this country and to the school which produced powerful athletes with such a modern and efficient technique. 4-: 1. USA 2. ITA 3. URS 4. TCH 5. GBR 6. SUI A very heavy crew, the Americans, rowing at 36, were at first outdistanced by Great Britain (rowing at 38), who went into the lead at 500 metres. The Soviet crew caught and overtook them. From 1,000 metres the USA spurted and made up the deficit. They only took control, however, during the last 200 metres, whilst in the final sprint the Italians came second. A. Ayrault gained a se cond Olympic tide, after his 1956 success in the coxed pairs. 2x: 1. TCH 2. URS 3. SUI 4. FRA 5. NED 6. BEL An achievement: The Czechoslovakian pair, V. Kozak and P. Schmidt, put a stop to the uninterrupted run of success enjoyed by the Soviet pair, A. Berkutov and Y. Tiukalov, who had been unbeaten since 1955. They had already nearly won the previous year at the European championships. 8 + : 1. GER 2. CAN 3. TCH 4. FRA 5. USA 6. ITA No crew ever came near to catching the composite crew from Kiel - Ratzeburg. The three medals went to the three crews which had qualified directly from the elimi nators, which had thus avoided having to row in the repechages. Among the winners, mention must be made of Henk Lenk, who has since become one of the philosophers of contemporary sport. Rome 1960: 1. GER 2. CAN 3. TCH 124 ©Archives IOC
