Max Rudolf (rower)

Max Rudolf (born February 12, 1891 ; † unknown) was a Swiss rower who became Olympic champion in the four-man team in 1920 .

Max Rudolf from the Grasshopper Club Zurich won the European Championships in Geneva in 1912 with the four-man made up of Hans Walter , Max Rudolf, Paul Schmid , Walter Schoeller and helmsman Charles Muhr . In the same line-up, the boat defended its title a year later in Ghent.

The next European championship did not take place in Mâcon until 1920 because of the First World War. The Swiss four in the line-up of Willy Brüderlin , Max Rudolf, Paul Rudolf , Hans Walter and helmsman Paul Staub won in front of the boats from Belgium and France. At the Olympic Games in 1920 , the boats from the United States, Norway and Switzerland faced each other in the finals; the Zurich team won by four seconds over the Americans. At the European Championships in Amsterdam in 1921, Émile Albrecht rowed for Hans Walter and won the title together with Brüderlin and the Rudolf brothers. The helmsman's name is not known.
