Josef "Pepi" Bader (born May 29, 1941 in Grainau ) is a former German bobsleigh driver . As a pusher for Horst Floth , he won two Olympic medals.
At the Olympic Games in Grenoble in 1968 , Horst Floth and Pepi Bader won the silver medal in the two-man bobsleigh behind the Italians Eugenio Monti and Luciano de Paolis , both bobsleighs had the same time after four runs to a hundredth of a second, which is why the better last run decided gold and silver . Eugenio Monti and his team also won the four-man bobsleigh , while Horst Floth, Willi Schäfer , Frank Lange and Pepi Bader took fifth place.
For winning the silver medal in the two-man bobsleigh, he and his partner Horst Floth received the silver laurel leaf on November 27, 1968.
At the European Championships in 1970, Gianfranco Gaspari and Mario Armano again won an Italian two-man bobsleigh, followed by Floth and Bader in second place. At the 1970 World Cup, Floth and Bader won the two-man bobsleigh ahead of the second German bobsleigh with Wolfgang Zimmerer and Peter Utzschneider . Before the competition in the four-man bobsleigh, Stefan Gaisreiter fell out of Zimmerer's bobsleigh and Pepi Bader took over for him. Zimmerer, Walter Steinbauer , Bader and Utzschneider won the silver medal behind Nevio De Zordo and his team.
In 1971 Floth and Bader won the European Championships in the two-man bobsleigh, and in the four-man bobsleigh they won bronze with Donat Ertel and Jan Thölke . The following year Zimmerer and Utzschneider won the European championship in the two-man bobsleigh ahead of Floth and Bader. At the Olympic Games in Sapporo in 1972 , the two German bobsleighs were able to repeat this success, Zimmerer and Utzschneider received gold, Floth and Bader silver. In the four-man bobsleigh, Horst Floth, Donat Ertel, Walter Gillik and Pepi Bader once again took fifth place.
