Wolf Boneder

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolf Boneder (actually Wolfgang Boneder; born October 20, 1894 in Regensburg , † September 13, 1977 in Bad Kissingen ) was a German high jumper .

Career

Boneder's bad luck was that no German athletes were invited to the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris and 1920 in Antwerp , after the 1916 Games had been canceled due to the role played by the German Reich in World War I. However, his name does not appear in the first place in the German championships of those years with the exception of 1928 , when he won the championship title at the age of 33 and was rewarded with participation in the Olympic Games in Amsterdam. He was accompanied by Fritz Huhn and Fritz Köpke .

All three athletes initially jumped 1.83 m and thus qualified for the final. While Fritz Köpke increased there to 1.84 m and took eleventh place, Wolf Boneder only managed 1.80 m, which brought him to 16th place (Fritz Huhn finished the competition with a skipped 1.70 m in 17th place; it won the American Bob King with 1.94 m).

He set his personal best of 1.92 m on August 6, 1932 in Regensburg .

Wolf Boneder started for SSV Jahn Regensburg . Even in later years he remained connected to the sport. As a senior in the age group of 60-64 year olds, he managed to jump over 1.60 m.
