Renzo Sambo (17 January 1942 – 10 August 2009)[1] was an Italian rower who had his best achievements in the coxed pairs, together with Primo Baran and coxswain Bruno Cipolla. They won a European title in 1967 and an Olympic gold in 1968.[2]
Sambo then changed to the coxed fours, but with less success. During his career he won 15 national titles in various events. In retirement he worked as a coach with Circolo Ospedalieri Treviso, which organizes the Renzo Sambo Memorial Regatta since 2009.[2]
