Life

Manfred Glöckner , who comes from the Saxon Ore Mountains , became interested in canoeing while attending school after the end of the Second World War . Since 1948 he has been practicing canoe slalom in Zschopau on the river of the same name. He was organized in the canoe department of the company sports association (BSG) of the motorcycle factory in Zschopau . From 1954 Glöckner trained in the DHfK sports club in Leipzig.
