Biography
The West German men’s gymnastics team placed eighth at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics in the team all-around event. Team member Erich Hess came in 60th in the individual all-around. His best result in the single competitions was a 19th place on horizontal bar. In 1970 he won his only West German national title in this event. His career was a bit overshadowed by then dominant horizontal bar performer Eberhard Gienger. Hess later became president of TV 1896 Heilsbronn.
