Uli Schmied
Hans-Ulrich Schmied (born 23 February 1947) is a retired German rower who specialized in the double sculls. In this event he won bronze medals at the 1972 and 1976 Olympic Games and finished in fifth place in 1968.[1] He also won one world (1974) and two European titles (1971 and 1973).[2] Schmied went to the 1978 World Rowing Championships on Lake Karapiro in New Zealand as a reserve but did not compete.[3] It was at those championships that he got closer to one of the female rowers whom she later married; Bärbel Bendiks was also present as a reserve.[4]
