Identified Athletes G-H-I

Oliver Zeidler was the M1X World Champion

in 2019 at WRC Linz-Ottensheim (AUT) and in 2022

at WRC Racice (CZE). As there were no World Rowing

Championships in 2020 and 2021 he is the only single

sculler who achieved to stay at the top of the list for

four years with two victories. At the Olympic Games 2020

he won the M1X B-final (= 7th place).

Karl Adam died one year after this book was published. He introduced

intervall training and weightlifing into competitive rowing and taught

his crews to change the leverage of oars and sculls according to the

types of boats and the wind conditions. His traing methods resulted

in a domination of (West)German rowing from 1959-1968.
