Peter Angerer (born 14 July 1959) is a former West German biathlete.
Career
At the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo he won the gold medal in the 20 km individual. In addition he won silver in the 10 km sprint and bronze with the West German relay team. Previously at the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid he won a relay bronze medal and at the 1988 Winter Olympic Games in Calgary the relay team won silver. In addition to winning five World Championship medals and 24 individual World Cup races, Angerer won the overall World Cup in 1983.
Angerer won twice at the Holmenkollen ski festival biathlon competition with wins in the 20 km individual in 1984 and 1985.
At the 1986 World Championships, Angerer finished second in the individual and came third with the relay team. Subsequently Angerer tested positive for a doping offence that turned out to be the result of a flu remedy.[1]
Angerer retired as an athlete after the 1987–88 season.[2]
Today, Angerer runs a skiing school in Ruhpolding.
