Eugenio Monti (23 January 1928 – 1 December 2003) was an Italian bobsledder and alpine skier.[1] He is one of the most successful athletes in the history of the bobsleigh, with ten World championship medals (of which nine gold) and 6 Olympic medals including two golds. He is known also for his acts of sportsmanship during the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria, which made him the first athlete ever to receive the Pierre de Coubertin World Trophy.[2][3][4]
