Biography
Swedish sailor Jörgen Kolni represented Göteborgs Kungliga Segel Sällskap (GKSS) and competed at two Olympic Games alongside his brother Peter. The Kolni brothers first competed at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics where they finished in ninth place in the two-person heavyweight dinghy, also known as the Flying Dutchman. Their best individual placement in the event came in the fifth race of seven when they finished in fifth place.
Jörgen and Peter teamed together again for the 1976 Montréal Olympics, this time in the multihull event. They finished fifth overall after recording two third-place race finishes and a second-place finish in the fourth race.
