Notes
- Conflicting sources: Some sources list Lorne Loomer as a silver medalist in eights at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, as a member of the Canadian team.[2] However, according to other sources Loomer competed in the coxless pair, but was replaced by substitute David Anderson in the eight.[3][4][5]
