Gerd Sredzki is a rower who competed for East Germany. He was twice world champion in the eight event.

Sredzki, who started for SC Berlin-Grünau, came second in the GDR national championships in 1972. [1] In 1973 and 1974, he came second at the nationals with a coxed four. [2] In 1976, his eight made up entirely of SC Berlin-Grünau rowers, became national champion, however, the rowers chosen to represent East Germany at the Summer Olympics did not participate in those nationals. Sredzki, in a team made up from various clubs, became a 1977 national champion. [1] That team went to the 1977 World Rowing Championships on the Bosbaan rowing lake in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where they became world champions. [3] In February 1978, he was given two sports awards: Master of Sport and Honored Master of Sports. [4]

Sredzki defended his national title in the eight in 1978. [1] A composite team made up from the champion and vice-champion was sent to the 1978 World Rowing Championships on Lake Karapiro, New Zealand, where they defended their title. [3]

In 1980, he married fellow rower Andrea Kurth from Dresden. In 1983, they had a son, Alexander Sredzki, who was junior and U23 world champion in 2001 (JM8+) and 2005 (BM4+), respectively. [5] [6] Gerd Sredzki is self-employed as a DJ. [7]
