Björn Bach

Björn Bach (born 21 June 1976) is a German canoe sprinter who competed from 1997 to 2006.

Bach won a dozen medals at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships with six golds (K-4 500 m: 1998, 1999; K-4 1000 m: 1997, 1998, 2001, 2005), four silvers (K-4 200 m: 2005, K-4 500 m: 1997, K-4 1000 m: 1999, 2002), and two bronzes (K-4 200 m: 1997, K-4 1000 m: 2003).

At the 2006 ICF Flatwater Racing World Championships however, he finished outside the medals with a fourth in the K-4 1000 m, sixth in the K-4 500 m, and fifth in the K-4 200 m, thus putting to an end Bach's record of having won medals at seven consecutive world championships.
