Silken Laumann gained the W2X bronze medal
at OG Los Angeles 1984 together with her sister
Danielle. She won the W1X gold medal in 1991
and was the gold medal favourite for OG Barcelona
1992 when ten weeks prior to the Games her right
leg was shattered by an accident in the warm-up area
of regatta Essen (GER). A M4- crew had rammed into
her shell. Told that she would never row again and
after five operations she walked with a cane to her
boat and won the W1X bronze medal.
She finished her career with the W1X silver medal at
OG Atlanta 1996.
FISA introduced traffic rules for the warm-up areas
of regattas after the 1992 incident.
