description: "Andreas \"Andy\" Kapp is a German curler from Unterthingau. After participating in several tournaments at the Junior, Olympic, and World Championship levels, Kapp surprised many by winning the 1992 European championship. The following year, he finished 7th at the European Championships, but at the 1994 World Championships, he and his team won the bronze medal. The next year, Kapp won another bronze medal. In 1997, at the World Championships, Kapp achieved his best showing by leading his team to a silver medal, losing to Sweden's Peja Lindholm in the final. In December of the same year, Kapp won his second European Championship, shortly before the first official medal event for curling at the 1998 Nagano Olympics. However, he had a disappointing 1998 Olympics, where, as one of the top medal favorites, he finished 1-6, placing last in the 8-team field."
