Toni Pensperger

Toni Pensperger

Anton "Toni" Pensperger (died 1966) was a West German bobsledder who competed during the 1960s. He was posthumously awarded a gold medal in the four-man event after he was killed during the event at the 1966 FIBT World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo. His surviving teammates Ludwig Siebert, Helmut Werzer, and Roland Ebert would receive their golds as well.

A street in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Toni Pensperger Strasse, is named in Pensperger's honor.
