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

CC USA Walter Hoover

Walter M. Hoover (Duluth BC, Minnesota)

In 1922, one day after winning the Philadelphia Gold Challenge Cup

(the single sculls championship trophy) Walter Hoover embarked for

England to compete at the Henley Royal Regatta. He won two heats

advancing to defeat England's Jack Beresford in the final. Hoover

was the second American to win the race, and the first in 22 years.

After retiring as a competitive sculler in 1928, Hoover coached rowers

from the Detroit Boat Club. In 1956, he was the coach of the U.S.

Olympic rowing team's small boats. His five teams won two gold

medals (M2-, M2+), two silver medals (M2X, M4-) and one bronze

medal (M1X) at the Olympic regatta in Melbourne.
