Career
After a number of unsuccessful tournaments at the Junior, Olympic and World Championship levels, Kapp surprised many by winning the 1992 European championship. In the following years, Kapp slumped to disappointing placings in major championships before disappearing from the world curling scene in 2001. Two years later, at the 2007 Ford World Men"s Curling Championship, Kapp skipped Germany to another silver medal, losing to Canada"s Glenn Howard in the final 8-3.
The team returned to the 2008 World Men"s Curling Championship without Andy"s brother (and regular third) Uli, who was sidelined by season-ending knee surgery.
Nevertheless the team got off to a 4-0 start before fading and finishing in 8th place with a 5-6 record. Teammates (as of 2005)
