Hans Leutenegger (born January 16, 1940, in Bichelsee-Balterswil) is a Swiss bobsledder who competed in the early 1970s. He won the gold medal in the four-man event at the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo.
Life
[edit]Leutenegger was born 16 January 1940 in the hamlet Höfli near Bichelsee, the oldest of eight siblings, to Alois and Margrith Leutenegger.[1] His parents were destitute and his father primarily worked as textile factory worker in the embroidery factory Traxler AG.[2]
Leutenegger also founded his own construction firm in Switzerland in 1965, Hans Leutenegger AG, a business that continues as of 2012[update]. The company has expanded into employment search and a temporary staffing for engineering positions. He also did some acting, working with Klaus Kinski in the 1985 film Kommando Leopard (Commando Leopard).
