Career

Jobst won the Spartakiad in 1966 and 1968 with eighth place . After the eighth from the Federal Republic of Germany had won the title at the first two World Rowing Championships in 1962 and 1966, the GDR eighth won in 1970, which was composed of very young rowers by coach Elmar Anthony. Hans-Joachim Puls , Klaus-Peter Foppke , Bernd Ahrendt , Eckhard Martens , Reinhard Gust , Dietrich Zander , Rolf Jobst, Ernst-Otto Borchmann and helmsman Reinhard Zahn were awarded the baby figure eightMistake. In 1971 the GDR eighth finished second at the European Championships behind the boat from New Zealand.

For 1972, four rowers were moved from eight to four. Dietrich Zander, Reinhard Gust, Eckhard Martens and Rolf Jobst were supposed to compete with the helmsman Klaus-Dieter Ludwig against the so-called bull quad from the Federal Republic of Germany, who had dominated this boat class since 1969. In the finals of the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, the German boat won ahead of the boat from the GDR, with a lead of almost one and a half seconds. After the bull's four-man resigned, the five rowers from the GDR were defeated by the hosts' boat at the European Championships in Moscow in 1973.

Rolf Jobst started for SC Dynamo Berlin . After his career, he worked as a graduate economist at the sports association Dynamo.
