Whitewater canoeist Sibylle Boedecker finished 11th in K-1 at the 1972 München Olympics, where canoe slalom events were held on the canoe slalom course of Augsburg for the first time (and for the last time until 1992). The same year she had won the East German title. In 1973 Boedecker won the K-1 World Championships and a bronze medal with the East German team. She later became a sports administrator (vice president) in the Saxony Canoeing Association. She also was inducted into the German Canoe Slalom Hall of Fame.
