He is known for setting various shot put records, including a 53-foot throw with a 16-lb. ball when he was 16, and a 64' 11¾" (19.805 m) throw in 1962 that set the world indoor record.
Inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, Gubner has also been recognized by the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in its 2000 book Jewish Sports Legends.[1]
