Pairs Silver Medal
Pairs silver medalists Marika Kilius and Hans-Jürgen Bäumler were stripped of their silver medals in 1966 because it had been found out that they had signed professional contracts before the Olympics. At the time, only amateurs could compete in the Olympic Games. Although they were reawarded the medal in 1987, many official results lists have removed them entirely.
