Ingo Kliefoth

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ingo Kliefoth (born February 28, 1940 ) is a former German rower . In 1962 he became world champion in eighth .

The rower from the Ratzeburg rowing club won his first German championship title in the eighth position back in 1958. In 1959 he and Bernd Kruse switched to the two without a helmsman , which, like the Ratzeburg eighth , was trained by Karl Adam . Kruse and Kliefoth won the German championships in 1959 and 1960. In 1959 , the two also rowed the European championship in the uncontrolled two-man. In 1960, the two Ratzeburgers lost to Jochen Neuling and Heinz Weigel from Leipzig in the qualifying regatta for the all-German team and were therefore unable to take part in the Olympic Games in Rome . In 1960, the two without a helmsman was the only boat from the GDR in the all-German team, alongside Achim Hill in the one .

In 1961 Kruse and Kliefoth returned to eighth, but they lost eighth from the Berlin rowing club at the German championships . In 1962 and 1963, the Ratzeburg eighth won the German championships. At the first rowing world championships held on the Rotsee near Lucerne , the eighth team won with Horst Meyer , Jürgen Plagemann , Klaus Aeffke , Klaus Behrens , Hans-Jürgen Wallbrecht , Karl-Heinrich von Groddeck , Ingo Kliefoth, Bernd Kruse and helmsman Thomas Ahrens in front of the boats from the Soviet Union and from France. In 1963 the boat in the same line-up won the European Championships in Copenhagen ahead of the boats from the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia.

For his sporting achievements he was honored - together with Karl Adams Germany eighth - on July 11th with the silver laurel leaf .
