The decisive moment in the M1X final at OG Montreal 1976:

The favourite P. M. Kolbe (GER) in the foreground

is no longer able to defend his leading position against

P. Karppinen (FIN) and has to rest content with the silver medal.

       MI 1269 perforated

       MI 1275 imperforated

         There were two sparate finals on the

         27th of August 1900 because some

         competing crews had been instructed

         insufficiently of the qualification rules

         by  the regatta officials.

         The first final was won by FRA, the

         second final by GER (O. Gossler,

         W. Katzenstein, W. Tietgens, G.

         Gossler, cox C. Gossler).
