Biography

West German flatwater canoeist Wolfram Faust finished sixth in the C-2 500 at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics partnering Ralf Wienand. Both also placed an unfortunate fourth in the C-2 1,000. Four years later Wolfram partnered his brother Hartmut at the 1988 Seoul Olympics where they placed fifth in the C-2 1,000, while at 500 metres they failed to reach the final. In the C-2 1,000 they won a bronze medal at the 1986 Flatwater World Championships.

From 1985-90 Wolfram and his brother won national titles in the C-2 500 and also the C-2 1,000. In 1989 Hartmut Faust joined another partner with non-Olympian Thomas Faulstich in the C-2 1,000. Wolfram later professionally organized several Dragon boat events together with his former teammate Ulli Eicke with their own event agency. He became one of the outfitters at Dragon Boat European and World Championships.
