Croatian rower Dario Vidošević took up the sport with his local club at a young age, eventually becoming a coxswain with the Yugoslavia national team. In early 1984 Vidošević was the coxswain for the eight crew that became the national champions ahead of the Olympics. For the Los Angeles Games he switched from the eight to the coxed pairs where he and compatriots Zlatko Celent and Mirko Ivančić won the B Final to finish seventh overall. During his career he won numerous titles in Yugoslavia and Croatia, in addition to achieving excellent results at various international regattas.
