Conn Findlay lives out in Belmont, California and rents a few rowing shells to the high school program. He is a wonderful fellow and has some great memories of all those Olympics. Conn is one of only 2 persons to medal in two distinctly different sports in recent summer olympics. (the other being Roswitha Krause - swimming and handball) He coached at Stanford Univ for a number of years as well, and twice sailed on the winning America's Cup team (1975,77).

In 1980 she became the youngest-ever Olympic Canoeing winner. She won all
three events at the World Championships of 1981, 82, 83, 85 and 87 (she took
off 1986 to have a baby), and would undoubtably have won three golds at Los
Angeles but for the East German boycott of the 1984 games. If she had done
this, she would have scored 126400 HP and be ranked first on the all-time
list.
In Sydney, she became only the fifth athlete in history to win gold at 5
olympic games, the second (after Stephen Redgrave
earlier during those games) to do so in an "endurance event". I don't know
whether she also got a special olympic pin from Juan Antonio Samaranch.
After Sydney, she retired and did not race for 3 years, becoming coach of
the national team. But eight months before Athina, a photographer asked her
to sit in a boat again. She did, and the butterflies came back. A few months
later "her head had agreed with her belly" and in Athina, she shattered all
records by claiming yet another gold in the K4, and a silver in the K2
Her husband Jörg won silver in the C1 1000 m in 1988. She has since
divorced but keeps the name.
