Wolfgang Ruck, born June 23, 1946) is a Canadian sprint canoer who competed in the late 1960s.
He advanced to the repechages of the K-4 1000 m event at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, but Canada's K-4 was withdrawn on account of a scheduling conflict and a dire shortage of crew.
Canada entered only four athletes to compete in the three Men's Kayaking events (K-1, K-2 and K-4).
In the preliminary round, the starting times for the heats in these three events were sufficiently spaced to give some recovery time and thereby permit Canada to crew the K-1, K-2 and K-4 boats.
Needless to say, lack of foresight and planning on the part of Canada's Canoeing Team management in sending only four paddlers to compete in three events proved the old adage: "penny-wise and pound-foolish".
