At Acapulco in 1968, in "Super...docious" he and Iain Macdonald Smith had five first places and a second, with three penalty points the lowest ever score in an Olympic regatta. In 1972, his yacht was called "Superdoso". His success was based on his belief that racing sailors had to be physically fit as well, and he began each day with a training run.

Ivan Patzaichin

B. 1949-11-26, Romania
Canoeing (4 gold, 3 silver)

C2 - 500 m				silver	silver	6000
C2 - 1000 m	gold	silver		gold	gold	45200
						62800

Winner of the Canadian C2 1000 m at Mexico, he returned with his partner Serghei Covaliov in München, only to finish second. When he went to Moskva with a new partner, Toma Simionov, the event had not suffered too much from the boycott. The same pair did benefit from Romania's being the only eastern bloc country NOT to boycott Los Angeles to take their second, and Patzaichin's third gold medal in the same event. He also took 1 individual gold (at München) and two silvers in the shorter C2 500 m event.
