Biography

Austrian rower Dieter, son of Leo Losert, participated in three editions of the Olympic Games from 1960 at Rome to 1968 at Mexico City. He rowed with the coxed fours in 1960 and with the coxless fours in 1964, but without reaching the final on each occasion. At Mexico City, Losert turned to the coxless pairs with Dieter Ebner and finished an unfortunate fourth.

At the 1962 World Championships, Losert won a bronze medal with the coxless fours and in 1966 won the coxless pairs silver with Ebner. At the 1965 European Championships he also won a silver medal with Ebner.
