Biography
Introduction
Govert Jacob Willem Brasser (born April 24, 1956, in The Hague) is a sailor from the Netherlands. Since the Netherlands did boycott the Moscow Olympic Games Brasser represented his National Olympic Committee at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Tallinn, USSR under the Dutch NOC flag. With Willem van Walt Meijer as helmsman, Brasser took the 5th place in the Tornado.
Controversy
Several countries did boycott the 1980 Summer Olympics, others like France did not go since they found the competition devaluated. As result only half of the expected fleet was present during the Olympic regattas.
