nik Keller, the president’s son, had produced two video cassettes. The first one, “World-Class Rowers in Compe tition”, offered valuable help to rowers at all levels. The second, “Rowing at Hazewinkel”, featured highlights of the 1985 world championships. He was planning to produce more. An initial list of FISA coach-advisors was drawn up. It included Reinhold Batschi (AUS), Ricardo Ibarra (ARC), Jim Joy (CAN), Kurt Jensen (DAN), Franz Held, Rolf Kilzer, Andreas Nickel, Volker Nolle (FRG), Penny Chuter, Bob Janousek, Mike Spracklen (GBR), Mauro de Santis, Beppe de Capua, Thor Nilsen, Giovan ni Parnigotto, Matt Smith (ITA), Rolf Saeterdal (NOR), Ruszard Kedzierski (POL), Roman Vermishkin (URS), John Ferris, Kris Korzienowski (USA).

IRL On December 3rd, 1985, the IOC programme commis sion decided not to support the proposal to add light weight events to the 1988 Olympic programme. 1986: the Year of Development The development programme was slowly getting under way. A score of well-known coaches met from February 6th - 9th, 1986, in Ratzeburg. Their first aim was to de cide on the equipment to be used for training sessions, and to work out their overall plan. Thor Nilsen, the chairman of the development programme commission, with the strong support of the former British champion, Penny Chuter, was the driving force behind this. A prac tical instruction manual for developing countries was de vised. Thanks to the support of Olympic Solidarity and its director, Anselmo Lopez, many projects were feasible. For example, Ricardo Ibarra, one of Argentina’s best scullers from the ’70’s, was appointed FISA coach for Latin America for a period of three years. The number of courses continued to increase. Progress was being made with plans for the production of less expensive standardized boats. Coaching teams were being sent out. Help was being provided for local boat-builders.
