Athletic career

Domenic Weinstein started for the RSC Donaueschingen and in 2010 became German youth champion in the points race and the single pursuit and reached third place in the team pursuit . The following year he started in the juniors, was German vice-champion in points and in two-man team driving and third in the team pursuit. A few weeks later he was junior world champion in points race in Moscow .

At the U23 European Rail Championships in 2012 in Anadia , Portugal , Domenic Weinstein won the bronze medal in the team pursuit together with Nils Schomber , Jonas Tenbrock and Leon Rohde . In the same year he was nominated by the Association of German Cyclists for the European track championships of the elite in Panevėžys , Lithuania . In 2014, Domenic Weinstein and Leon Rohde were U23 European champions in two-man team driving .

After Weinstein first became the German elite champion in the single pursuit in 2015 and set a new German record in the 4000 m single pursuit in a performance test in Frankfurt (Oder) in 4: 17.417 minutes in early October 2015 , he won the 2015 European Railway Championships on October 17, 2015 the silver medal in this discipline.

In 2016 Weinstein won the silver medal in the single pursuit at the World Railroad Championships . In the same year he was nominated for participation in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , where he finished fifth in the team pursuit together with Nils Schomber , Kersten Thiele , Henning Bommel and Theo Reinhardt .

At the German track championships in 2017 in Frankfurt (Oder) , Domenic Weinstein set a new record in the 4,000-meter single pursuit with 4: 13.453 minutes. In the qualification, he had already improved his own record from October 2015 (4: 17.417 min.) By more than three seconds to 4: 14.080 minutes, in order to undercut it again in the final. Until then, only four athletes were faster than him in the single pursuit over 4000 meters. He won a second title together with Lucas Liß , Kersten Thiele and Theo Reinhardt in the team pursuit. In autumn of that year he won bronze in the pursuit at the European Railway Championships in Berlin .

In August 2018 Weinstein started in the single pursuit at the European Railway Championships in Glasgow . In the qualification, he again improved his own German record from the previous year to 4: 13.073 minutes. In the final for gold he defeated the Portuguese Ivo Oliveira and became European champion.

At the UCI Track World Championships 2019 in Pruszków , Poland , he again set a new German record in qualifying for the single pursuit with 4: 09.091 minutes, undercutting his own from August 2018. The scoreboard in the BGŻ BNP Paribas Arena even erroneously stated a time of 4: 05.172 minutes was displayed, which would have been a world record; this time was later corrected. In the final he was defeated by the Italian Filippo Ganna (who also had the wrong time displayed) and won silver.
