Thomas Ahrens, born on 27 May 1948, is a retired German coxswain who was most successful in the eights. A coxswain steers the boat and directs the crew without rowing, and in the eight Ahrens won a silver medal at the 1964 Summer Olympics, a world title in 1962 and two European titles, in 1963 and 1964. Because he was born in 1948, the world title came when he was around fourteen years old, and the Olympic silver at sixteen. The article describes him as retired.
