Otherpersons Karl Adam unreferenced date November 2011 Peacock date October 2009 Karl Adam May 2, 1912, Hagen &ndash June 18, 1976, Bad Salzuflen was a Germany German sport rowing rowing coach considered one of the most successful and innovative of all time. He is widely considered to be the most important rowing coach of the 20th century. Citation needed date February 2007 Adam had a major impact on one of the most successful eras in German rowing history that started at the end of the 1950s. He was co founder of the Ratzeburg Rowing Club in 1953 and head of the Rowing Academy there. That he had never rowed or sculled before he started coaching is a legend. Adam learned rowing and sculling during his studies in Sports in the late 1930s. Previously, he was a competitive boxer and became World Champion of Students in 1937. A great innovator of rowing and training techniques, Adam s methods had a major impact on the further development of rowing. His rowing technique became known in the rowing world as the Ratzeburg style. Adam was the first to adapt fartlek , also known as speedplay, and interval training from track athletics as well as heavy weight training to rowing. He pioneered a new, more efficient, oar design and was the first coach to use bucket or German rigging. Typical rigging alternates between port and starboard rowers e.g. PSPS . In German rigging, two starboard or port rowers sit directly behind one another, e.g. PSSP . Between 1959 and 1967, his boats won seven titles at World Rowing Championships World and European Rowing Championships European Championships . In addition his eight won a gold medal at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome , a silver medal at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo , and a gold medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico . Nothing since has matched the impact of the sudden explosion of Ratzeburg and Karl Adam onto the rowing scene.
