Death of Otto Bonn

Kanu-Regatta-Verein remembers Otto Bonn. After having served the World Canoe Federation ICF for many years in high position, he passed away during the weekend aged 93. The hungarian ex-athlete served as ICF vice-president from 1970 to 1988. He then made a huge contribution to the development of his beloved sport as Secretary General until his retirement in 2000. He maintained a close link to Disburg even after his retirement.

He frequently visited Duisburg as ICF observer during Duisburg regattas. He also maintained a close friendship withour late President Otto Schulte. Otto Bonn loved Canoe sports with Duisburg always being a place meaning more than launching boats onto water.

Due to poor health he was unable to visit recent Canoe Sprint World Cup events but still maintained a link. "We kept inviting him to demonstrate our friendship rather than just regarding him as functionaire." Jürgen Joachim, President of Kanu-Regatta-Verein Duisburg stated, adding: "We will maintain a fond memory of Otto Bonn as a friend of our regatta."
