Biography

East German wrestler Alfred Tischendorf from Jena was eliminated early in the third round of the freestyle welterweight tournament at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games. He qualified for the Olympics at the Budapest World Cup only a few months earlier by winning a bronze medal. At the 1961 World Championships he barely missed the podium, finishing fourth in both styles. In East Germany he claimed seven national titles and three runner-ups. By profession, Tischendorf was trained as a machine fitter.
