With East German women dominant in rowing, the West Germans contested the double scull boat class only, but that race was won by East Germany. Thus, all German representatives in London were from East Germany.Nur DDR-Boote nach London http://zefys.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/ddr-presse/ergebnisanzeige/?purl=SNP26120215-19600810-0-9-349-0 22 February 2018 Berliner Zeitung 16 214 10 August 1960 9 de 22 February 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180222044312/http://zefys.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/ddr-presse/ergebnisanzeige/?purl=SNP26120215-19600810-0-9-349-0 dead Medal summary – women's events Event Gold Silver Bronze Country & rowers TimeDDR-Doppelvierer Europameister http://zefys.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/ddr-presse/ergebnisanzeige/?purl=SNP26120215-19600815-0-4-57-0 21 February 2018 Berliner Zeitung 16 219 15 August 1960 4 de 21 February 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180221161846/http://zefys.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/ddr-presse/ergebnisanzeige/?purl=SNP26120215-19600815-0-4-57-0 dead Country & rowers Time Country & rowers Time W1xHeckert Karlheinz Rudern – Europameisterschaften (Damen – Einer) http://www.sport-komplett.de/sport-komplett/sportarten/r/rudern/hst/70.html sport-komplett.de 21 February 2018 de Kornélia Pap 4:40.40 Zossia Rakitskaya Eva Sika W2xHeckert Karlheinz Rudern – Europameisterschaften (Damen – Doppelzweier) http://www.sport-komplett.de/sport-komplett/sportarten/r/rudern/hst/71.html sport-komplett.de 21 February 2018 de Nina Ivanova Lyudmila Otrosko 3:54.75 Alena Postlová Eva Kolarova Magda Jifcu Dora Lakatos W4+Heckert Karlheinz Rudern – Europameisterschaften (Damen – Vierer m.Stfr.) http://www.sport-komplett.de/sport-komplett/sportarten/r/rudern/hst/73.html sport-komplett.de 21 February 2018 de Valentina Terekhova Nadezhda Skunkova Ella Sergeyeva Nina Shamanova Valentina Timofeyeva (cox) 3:39.75 Emilia Rigard Ana Tamas Florica Ghiuzelea Felicia Urziceanu Stefania Borisov (cox) 3:40.49 Christa Temeier Barbara Reichel Hanna Vesper Helga Nollau Sigrid Laube 3:48.22 W4x+Heckert Karlheinz Rudern – Europameisterschaften (Damen – Doppelvierer m.Stfr.) http://www.sport-komplett.de/sport-komplett/sportarten/r/rudern/hst/72.html sport-komplett.de 21 February 2018 de Herta Weissig Gisela Heisse Hannelore Göttlich Helga Menzel-Richter Karla Frister (cox) 3:39.60 Magda Jifcu Viorica Udrescu Doina Ciolacu Dumitra Mihalache Stefania Borisov (cox) 3:42.70 Agnes Kovacsics Erzsebet Mozer Jozsefne Rasko Laszlone Terelmes Rudolfne Radvanyi (cox) 3:43.07 W8+Heckert Karlheinz Rudern – Europameisterschaften (Damen – Achter) http://www.sport-komplett.de/sport-komplett/sportarten/r/rudern/hst/74.html sport-komplett.de 21 February 2018 de Valentina Sirsikova Vera Rebrova Nonna Petsernikova Lidiya Sontova Sinaida Kirillina Nina Korobkova Zinaida Korotova Nadezhda Gontsarova Valentina Dobrogjeyeva (cox) 3:23.70 Anita Blankenfeld Ingeborg Peter Ingrid Drews Waltraud Dinter Hilde Amelang Marianne Schulze Marianne Mewes Marianne Falk Elfriede Boetius (cox) 3:32.21 Maria Trinks Dana Iliescu Gabriela Stefan Olimpia Bogdan Marta Kardos Stela Gavan Sonia Bulugioiu Viorica Udrescu Angela Paunescu (cox) 3:35.64 Medals table 3 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 2 2 0 1 0 0 0 1 References Category:European Rowing Championships European Rowing Championships Rowing Rowing European Rowing Championships European Rowing Championships Rowing Category:International sports competitions in London
