Christian Rudolph (born 15 February 1949) is a retired East German sprinter who specialized in the 400 metres hurdles. He won a silver medal at the 1971 European Championships. In semifinals of the 1972 Summer Olympics he tore his Achilles tendon and tumbled, causing the nearby runner Dieter Büttner to fall too.[2] The injury forced Rudolph to immediately retire from athletics. Domestically he won the East German 400 m title in 1969–1972.[3] In retirement Rudolph worked as a teacher of law and physical education in Cottbus.[1]
