description: "Christian Rudolph is a retired East German sprinter who specialized in the 400 metres hurdles. He won a silver medal at the 1971 European Championships. In semifinals of the 1972 Summer Olympics he tore his Achilles tendon and tumbled, causing the nearby runner Dieter Büttner to fall too. The injury forced Rudolph to immediately retire from athletics. Domestically he won the East German 400 m title in 1969–1972. In retirement Rudolph worked as a teacher of law and physical education in Cottbus."
