Biography
Flatwater canoeist Volkmar Thiede was a member of the East German K-4 (1,000 metres) at the 1972 München Olympics, which was eliminated in the semi-finals. The crew experienced a surprise elimination by finishing fourth behind Romania, an unheralded Finnish crew, and Hungary. Thiede won a bronze medal at the 1974 World Championships in the K-2 1,000. Domestically, he claimed a bronze – also with Rüdiger Helm – the same year, his only national medal.
