Silken Laumann gained the W2X bronze medal
at OG Los Angeles 1984 together with her sister
Danielle. She won the W1X gold medal in 1991

leg was shattered by an accident in the warm-up area
of regatta Essen (GER). A M4- crew had rammed into
her shell. Told that she would never row again and
after five operations she walked with a cane to her
boat and won the W1X bronze medal.

of regattas after the 1992 incident.
