Biography

German rower Thoralf Peters was on the coxed fours crew that won the silver medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, when this event was held for the last time at the Olympics. The crew was subsequently awarded the Silver Bay Leaf, Germany’s highest sports award.

Also in 1992, the crew won the national title. Peters had already won former GDR titles with the coxed fours in 1989, and coxed pairs in 1990. In 1991, he also won the re-unified German coxed pairs title.
