The late actor was before his acting career competitive swimmer and participated in two Olympic Games.
the death of actor Bud Spencer causing quite a stir in Krefeld. What hardly anyone knows: 1951 joined the Italians with the real name Carlo Pedersoli as former professional swimmer for Lazio in Krefeld Stadtbad at the Neusser Straße on. Spencer was at that time competitive swimmer in his native and member of the Italian water polo team. He was Italian champion in breaststroke over 100m freestyle, which he swam on September 19, 1950 as the first Italian under a minute. The Italian championship he won ten years. Result: three years in the breaststroke, seven years in freestyle
1951, the same year ie, where he was in competitions in Krefeld at the start, Pedersoli adopted the Mediterranean Games and won with a time of 59.7 seconds, the silver medal over 100 meters. In 1952 he participated in the Olympic Games and has been at the swimming competitions with 58.9 seconds in the fifth forward over 100m freestyle. With the Italian 4 × 200 meter freestyle relay, he did not reach the final.
1954 Spencer was again in Krefeld. This is followed reminiscent especially Heinz Wiedelbach. The SPD politician at the time was 16 years old swimmers at Neptune Krefeld. “We then had a friendly meeting with the floats of Lazio, including Bud Spencer belonged” says Wiedelbach. At a swimming competition between the two, it is not indeed come – “but I’m still proud that I got to know him, he was very nice and had no airs Since then I have followed his career as an actor..”
in 1956 Pedersoli part in the summer Olympics in Melbourne, reaching over 100 meters freestyle on the 11th place. In 1957 he finished with 27 years his swimming career and devoted himself to acting, primarily the Western-spanking-Klamaukfilmen with Terence Hill – under the stage name Bud Spencer, because he did not want to ridicule his own name and artist name eh large at the time were in fashion. Why it was just this, he later explained in his biography with the words: “I had no list I had a bottle of Budweiser – my favorite beer – in front of me and Spencer Tracy was always my favorite actor, so my choice was easy!..”
Finally, the actor has attracted in April 2011 with the publication of his autobiography stir. This culminated in the farce that the internet poll 60,000 people expressed a preference to appoint a tunnel in Schwabisch Gmund by Bud Spencer. At the end of the policy followed by this vote and notified the local Stadtbad by Bud Spencer; Finally he appeared there in the fifties as a float – just like in Krefeld.
In interviews in recent years to Bud Spencer has repeatedly expressed on the edge also to Krefeld. The silk city must have left with him lasting impression: In an interview with journalist Thomas Jeier he said: “. I have participated in several competitions in Germany, I remember Berlin, Munich, Hanover, Gelsenkirchen, Krefeld, Stuttgart” In an interview with the TV journalist Sandra Maischberger he said 2004 to the question of what pleases him more German order or Italian chaos? “I think even if you there is but this difference between Munich and Essen and Krefeld and the entire Ruhr Since there are a very different breed of people to the Germans..”
