Biography

He was born to Americans William Louis Winans and Maria Ann de la Rue on April 5, 1852, at the Nikolaevsky Railway Works at St. Petersburg, Russian Empire. His father was engaged in construction work and Walter lived in St. Petersburg until the age of 18, taking the oath of allegiance at the US Embassy before leaving for Kent, England, to take up residence.[4]

In 1910 he sent several horses to the National Horse Show in Madison Square Garden in New York City.[5][6]

He held hunting and shooting rights over nearly 250,000 acres (1,000 km²) in Glen Strathfarrar, Glen Cannich and Glen Affric in the Highlands of Scotland. In the 1901 edition of his book The Art of Revolver Shooting he favoured the Webley–Fosbery above other 'automatic pistols', but it is not mentioned in the 1911 edition nor in the subsequent Automatic Pistol Shooting or The Modern Pistol and How to Shoot it.

In 1884 he prosecuted a Scotsman, Muirdoch Macrae, for grazing a lamb on land owned by Winans. The failure of Winans' prosecution established the right to roam which was a key element in opening British parklands to the public.[7]

Winans range at the National Shooting Centre, Bisley, England is named after him.

Winans died in Parsloes Park, Dagenham, Essex, on 12 August 1920.[4]

Walter Winans (* 5. April 1852 in Sankt Petersburg; † 12. August 1920 in Barking, Greater London) war ein amerikanischer Sportschütze, Pferdezüchter, Bildhauer und Autor. Er gewann im Schießen eine Goldmedaille bei den Olympischen Sommerspielen 1908 und eine Silbermedaille bei den Olympischen Sommerspielen 1912, bei denen er darüber hinaus in den Kunstwettbewerben den ersten Platz in der Bildhauerei belegte. Damit ist er neben dem Ungarn Alfréd Hajós, der 1896 im Schwimmen zweifacher Olympiasieger wurde und 28 Jahre später eine Silbermedaille im Bereich der Architektur erhielt, der einzige Olympiateilnehmer, der sowohl in einer sportlichen als auch in einer künstlerischen Disziplin olympische Medaillen errang.
