During training, however, there was a fall in which Gray was seriously injured and therefore could not compete, even the Mayor of New York Jimmy Walker visited the athlete in the hospital. Four years later at the Winter Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , the two took sixth place. In 1929 and 1934, Grau became German champions in the two-man bobsleigh with Brehme. He succeeded in this in the five-man bobsleigh in 1929.
