Christian von Bülow, who sailed for Kongelig Dansk Yacht Club , took part twice in the Olympic Games in the kite boat class . At the Olympic Games in Melbourne in 1956 , alongside Cyril Andresen, he was a crew member of Tip , led by skipper Ole Berntsen , which won the silver medal. Although they scored 5723 points like the Slaghöken II from Sweden, led by Folke Bohlin , the Swedes became Olympic champions due to the larger number of races they had won . Third place went to the British boat led by Graham Mann . Von Bülow's second Olympic participation took place on the occasion of the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo . With the White Lady he became an Olympic champion himself this time as a crew member: with 5854 points, he and Ole Poulsen and skipper Ole Berntsen narrowly prevailed against the German boat Mutafo led by Peter Ahrendt with 5826 points.
