Evan Weinstock (born October 30, 1991) is an American Olympic bobsledder.
Weinstock was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada.[1] His father, Arnold Weinstock, is Jewish. His mother was not. He told Jewish Sports Review that he was raised without a faith, but he had no problem being identified as a Jewish athlete.[1][2]
High school football
He played high school football as a wide receiver/safety and was the Nevada 4A Football Player of the Year at Del Sol High School in Las Vegas.[3][1][4] He became involved in bobsledding by virtue of his participation in the decathlon.[1][5] His football career ended in high school with a torn labrum that he suffered on a running play.[4]
College, decathlon, pentathlon, and heptathlon
At Brown University (2014), where he majored in biology, Weinstock set the university record in the decathlon (7,393 points), is second in university history in the pentathlon (5,296 points), and was a four-time Ivy League champion (three times in the decathlon, once in the heptathlon).[6][1][5][7][8]
