Angelika DÜNHAUPT

Angelika Dünhaupt was a West German luger who competed during the late 1960s and early 1970s. At the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, she originally finished sixth in the women's singles event, but was awarded the bronze medal upon the disqualifications of the East German sliders when they were discovered to have illegally heated their runners. In 1967, Dünhaupt won a silver medal at the European Championships and was West German National Champion. She was awarded the Silver Bay Leaf in 1968, the highest German sports award. She later became a professional photographer.
