The describtion on the back of this card is wrong in various aspects:

1. Karl Adam was never a German Rowing Champion. He was a coach.

2. His first big win was the M8+ gold medal at the ERC Macon 1959,

followed by the Olympic M8+ gold medal win at Rome 1960 (ending

the uninterrupted succession of eight United States Olympic M8+

victories 1920-1956).

3. The Ratzeburg Rowing Academy was founded in 1965 by the

German Rowing Federation. Karl Adam was its director for the

first ten years.
