Anatoli Fomitsch Sass ( Russian Анатолий Фомич Сасс ; born December 22, 1935 in Moscow ) is a former Soviet rower and Olympic champion.

Career

Sass, who rowed for Trud Moscow and Spartak Moscow , had already started at the 1964 Summer Olympics in a four-man without a helmsman with Celestinas Jucys , Eugenijus Levickas and Jonas Motiejūnas from the Lithuanian SSR . However, the team missed the final and finished 7th in the overall ranking. In the following year, Sass switched to the single and started at the European Championships in Duisburg, where he won the silver medal behind the West German rower Jochen Meißner . Two years later he also won the Soviet rowing championships in this discipline, before he formed a double scull for the 1968 Olympic season with Alexander Timoshinin, who was twelve years his junior . The duo won the Soviet championship title and later the gold medal at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City on the regatta course in Xochimilco with a one-second lead over the Dutch Henricus Droog and Leendert van Dis .

After winning the Olympic gold medal, Sass was awarded the Merit Master of Sports of the USSR and the Order of the Red Banner of Labor in 1968 .
