Vytautas Butkus , Juri Jakimow, Aivars Lazdenieks and Jewgeni Dulejew rowed the bronze medal behind the boats from the GDR and Czechoslovakia. At the 1976 Olympic Games , the Soviet double sculls appeared in the same line-up as in the previous year. In the run-up, the boat won with a three second lead over the double foursome from the GDR and qualified directly for the final. In the final, the crew from the GDR won with one second ahead of the Soviet double scull, while the Czechoslovaks won the bronze medal just under two seconds behind. In 1977 the Soviet double scull started with the same line-up at the World Championships in Amsterdam , but only finished second in the B final and eighth place overall.
