Рональд Вайгель (род. 8 августа 1959 года в Хилдбургхаузен, Тюрингия) – немецкий спортсмен и олимпийский призер. В 1980-х и в середине 1990-х годов он представлял Восточную Германию (а затем Германию после 1990 года) как один из лучших в мире в спортивной ходьбе. Его первая крупная победа пришла в 1983 году, когда он выиграл титул чемпиона мира в ходьбе на 50 км. На летних Олимпийских играх он завоевал серебряную медаль в ходьбе на 20 км, а также серебряную и бронзовую медали в ходьбе на 50 км. Он – единственный немецкий спортсмен, выигравший олимпийские медали в обеих дисциплинах спортивной ходьбы на Играх. Он не смог принять участие в летних Олимпийских играх 1984 года из-за бойкота, объявленного Восточной Германией, хотя считался явным фаворитом на победу. Вайгель представлял ASK Vorwärts Potsdam, а после воссоединения Германии перешел в OSC Potsdam, а затем в LAC Halensee. Его тренировал Ганс Йоахим Патус. В годы активных выступлений его рост составлял 1,77 метра, а вес – 62 килограмма.

Жизнь вне спорта
Вайгель начал заниматься спортом в качестве студента в родном городе Хильдбургхаузен, где проявил природный талант. В 1973 году он стал студенческим чемпионом ГДР, а в 1977 году занял второе место на юниорском чемпионате Европы. Будучи членом армейского спортивного клуба, он имел звание гауптмана в НВА. После воссоединения Германии он открыто признался в сотрудничестве со Штази, после чего был уволен из спортивной группы Бундесвера без предупреждения. В 1997 году Вайгель возглавил сборную Австралии в Канберре. Он тренировал австралийца Натана Дикса, который завоевал бронзовую медаль в ходьбе на 20 км на летних Олимпийских играх 2004 года и стал чемпионом мира 2007 года в ходьбе на 50 км.
Weigel started in the sport as a student in his hometown of Hildburghausen and was found to have natural talent. In 1973 he became the East German student champion, and in 1977 he was second at the Junior European championship. As a member of the Army sports club he was Hauptmann in the NVA. After reunification he freely admitted to having worked for the Stasi and was then let go from the sports group of the Bundeswehr without notice. In 1997, Weigel took a position as the Australian national coach in Canberra. He trained the Australian Nathan Deakes who won the bronze medal in the 20 km walk at the 2004 Summer Olympic Games and was the 2007 World Champion over 50 km walk
После Олимпийских игр Вайгель вернулся в Германию и сменил своего бывшего тренера Ганса Йоахима Патуса на посту национального тренера. Его признание в работе на службу безопасности ГДР было учтено, но не стало препятствием для его назначения.
After the games, Weigel went back to Germany and took over from his previous trainer, Hans Joachim Pathus as the German national trainer. His admitted work for the East German security service was taken into consideration, but was not deemed to be a hindrance in hiring him.
