Biography
Willi Eichhorn won the gold medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games with Hugo Strauß in the coxless pairs. Eichhorn finished second and third at the 1932 and 1934 German Championships in the coxless pairs with non-Olympian Walter Zahn. In 1935 he rowed with Strauß and finished second in the National but, in 1936, they became German Champions and qualified for the Olympic Games. Two years later the two men again finished second.
