Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Hans Fogh was a member of the Canadian National Sailing Team for more than twenty years.

Hans is a two time medal winner, capturing silver at the 1960 Olympics in Rome and bronze at the 1984 Los Angeles games. This 24 year gap stands as the record for the longest time span between two Olympic medal wins.

Inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in 1985 and Canada’s Amateur Hall of Fame in 1986, Hans continues to be an avid sailor and now enjoys the sport with his sons. In preparation for the 1996 Olympics, Hans placed second in trials. He also placed second in Cannes that year in the French Championships.
