Major competition wins He took gold at single sculling at the 1955 European championships. That same year he won the Diamond Challenge Sculls ('Diamonds') at Henley Royal Regatta, by a length and a half over Sid Rand. He won the next year's event by four lengths, over TA Fox of London RC. His last such final was in 1960, losing by half a length to Stuart Mackenzie of Henley's highly selective Leander Club, not breaking the latter rower's six-year success. By that time Kocerka had changed chosen club from AZS Bydgoszcz to AZS Szczecin.
