Björn Bach (born 21 June 1976) is a German canoe sprinter who competed from 1997 to 2006. Competing in two Summer Olympics, he won two silver medals in the K-4 1000 m (2000, 2004).[1]
Born in Magdeburg he took up the sport at the age of thirteen.
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).[2]
His most recent success came at the 2006 European Championships, held in Račice, Czech Republic, where he won a K-4 1000 m bronze medal. 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.
At club level he competes for his home-town club, SC Magdeburg and is trained by Guido Behling.[3]
