Although he competed for a club in Zagreb (Croatia), I go on his place of birth (and death) and call this athlete Serbian.

competed in 1988-2000 as

Birgit Schmidt

B. 1962-02-25, Germany
Canoeing - Sprint (8 gold, 4 silver)

	1980	1984	1988	1992	1996	2000	2004	HP
Women's Singles, 500 m	gold		silver	gold	fourth			27600
Women's Doubles, 500 m			gold		silver	gold	silver	23400
Women's Fours, 500 m			gold	silver	gold	gold	gold	29600
								80600

In 1980 she became the youngest-ever Olympic Canoeing winner. She won all three events at the World Championships of 1981, 82, 83, 85 and 87 (she took off 1986 to have a baby), and would undoubtably have won three golds at Los Angeles but for the East German boycott of the 1984 games. If she had done this, she would have scored 126400 HP and be ranked second on the all-time list.
In Sydney, she became only the fifth athlete in history to win gold at 5 olympic games, the second (after Stephen Redgrave earlier during those games) to do so in an "endurance event". I don't know whether she also got a special olympic pin from Juan Antonio Samaranch.
After Sydney, she retired and did not race for 3 years, becoming coach of the national team. But eight months before Athina, a photographer asked her to sit in a boat again. She did, and the butterflies came back. A few months later "her head had agreed with her belly" and in Athina, she shattered all records by claiming yet another gold in the K4, and a silver in the K2
Her husband Jörg won silver in the C1 1000 m in 1988. She has since divorced but kept the name.
