Gerard Mach

Gerard Mach (born 1947) is a Polish former sprint canoeist who competed internationally in the early 1970s.

Mach represented Poland at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany. He participated in the men's K-4 1000 metres event, which involves a four-person kayak racing over a distance of 1000 meters. The Polish team, which included Mach, Władysław Szuszkiewicz, Aleksander Dziemidowicz, and Zdzisław Zieliński, competed in the semi-final heats. They finished 7th in their heat and did not advance to the final round of the competition.

While his Olympic appearance was his most prominent international participation, Mach was part of the Polish national canoeing scene during that period.
