Eduard "Edy" Hubacher (born 15 April 1940) is a former Swiss sportsman who competed at both the Summer and Winter Olympics.[1]
In the 1960's, he competed in the shot put, discus throw, and decathlon, and still holds the decathlon best in the shot put.[2] He switched to bobsledding in the early 1970's, winning a gold medal in the four-man and a bronze medal in the two-man events at the 1972 Winter Olympics.
