Biography
Hugo Weinstengel was a member of the four/five men Austria 1 bob crew which was disqualified after the second run when the crew overthrew and did not cross the finish line at the 1928 St. Moritz Winter Olympics. The crew consisted of Weinstengel, Ferdinand Langer, Gustav Mader, Franz Pamperl, Walter Sehr and Michael Waissnix. It is unclear which of those six participated in each of the two respective runs.
Weinstengel was the only one of the Austria 1 crew to return to the next Winter Games at Lake Placed in 1932. He then partnered Johann Baptist von Gudenus in the two men bob and finished 12th. Weinstengel immigrated to the United States with his brother and mother and settled in New York City, changing his surname to “Winston”.
