Hans Werner "Juan" Reccius Ellwanger[1] (April 9, 1911 – June 29, 2012)[2] was a Chilean athlete who competed at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin. He competed in the men's triple jump event, but did not advance beyond the qualifying round.[3]
Born in Valdivia,[3] Reccius graduated with a degree in engineering from the University of Chile in 1935,[1] the same year that he was crowned South American champion in the triple jump, a title that his older brother Adolfo had held in 1920.[4] As of 2011 he was the last surviving member of the Chilean delegation from the Berlin Olympics[5] and he turned 100 on April 9, 2011.[6]
