1964

He was selected for the men's singles event at the 1964 Winter Olympics, but was severely injured at the luge track in Igls and did not compete as a result.

Lugers who he guided to success included double World Champion and future International Luge Federation President Josef Fendt, 1984 Winter Olympic doubles champions Hans Stangassinger and Franz Wembacher, and triple Olympic champion Georg Hackl.

Along with his father, he also constructed a naturally refrigerated luge track on the banks of the Königssee, the forerunner to the present artificial Königssee track.

He subsequently designed other tracks, including the Utah Olympic Park Track, and acted as a consultant for the Alpensia Sliding Centre.
