CC GDR 1957 OG Melbourne - M2- silver medal winners Igor Buldakov & Viktor Ivanov (URS), M2- European champions 1953, 1955 and 1956

The explanation on the back is wrong: It was **Viatcheslav** Ivanov who won the single sculls event whereas the M2- sliver medal was won by **Viktor** Ivanov - an incidental uniformity of surnames
	The German text indicates that Vladimir Ivanov won the M1X gold medal and the M2- silver medal
