Erwin Wegner (5 April 1909 – 16 February 1945) was a German athlete. Wegner won the silver medal at the 1934 European Championships in the 110 metres hurdles and competed in the Olympic Games as both a hurdler and a decathlete.
Career
At the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles Wegner competed in the 110 m hurdles and the decathlon.[1] In the hurdles he placed third in his heat in 15.1 and qualified for the semi-finals, where he failed to finish.[1] In the decathlon he placed ninth, winning the hurdles in 15.4 ahead of another specialist, Bob Tisdall.[1][2]
At the 1934 European Championships in Turin Wegner won the silver medal in the hurdles in 14.9, losing only to Hungary's József Kovács.[1][3][4] Wegner defeated Kovács at the International University Games in Budapest the following year, winning the gold in 14.7.[5]
Wegner returned to the Olympics in 1936, this time only competing in the 110 m hurdles and again going out in the semi-finals.[1] His personal best in the 110 m hurdles was 14.5, which he ran in 1935.[1] He was also good in the 400 m hurdles,[2] winning silver behind Kovács in that event at the 1935 International University Games.[5]
