Bernd LANDVOIGT

With his twin brother, Jörg, Bernd Landvoigt was one of the most titled rowers in German history. Together the twins competed in the 1972 Olympics in the eights, winning a bronze medal. The twins then formed a coxless pair, and were never beaten in that event. They won Olympic gold medals in 1976 and 1980, were World Champions in 1974, 1975, 1978, and 1979, and European Champions in 1973. Bernd is the younger of the twins by a few minutes. He later became a coach with SC Dynamo Potsdam and then the German rowing federation. (DRV).
