Appologize if I missed somebody 😉
But at last I want to mention two competitors from My home: the first is Péter Vinkler who had reached quite everything in this sport, but beside this fact, He helped Me time to time to improve My performance (sometimes at expense of Himself). I still handle Him like My younger brother. The second person is Dénes Kanyó, whose struggle I can see week to week, that’s why I so proud of Him when He arrived onto the top of the world int he age of 33 years!

Chi è il tuo Allenatore?
All’inizio il mio allenatore era Zoltán Ludvigh, negli ultimi anni della mia carriera era Tamás Sáfár!
Gara preferita:
400 sf – 800 sf!!!
Atleta preferito (passato o presente, inteso anche come punto di riferimento):
Non ho idoli nel Nuoto Pinnato, ma ammiro un paio di nuotatori, come K. Koudraev, Sergei Akhapov, Evgeniy Skorzhenko, Igor Soroka, Dimitrios Tomais, Tsourounakis Ioannis, Stefano Figini, Andrea Nava, Sven Lützkendorf … Accidenti, quanti grandi nomi nella “Hall of Fame”! Mi scuso se mi sono diemnticato di qualcuno 😉
Ma alla fine voglio citare due nuotatori di “casa mia”: il primo è Peter Vinkler che aveva raggiunto proprio tutto in questo sport, ma accanto a questo fatto, egli mi ha aiutato di volta in volta per migliorare le mie prestazioni (a volte anche a sue spese). Lo tratto ancora come mio fratello minore. La seconda persona è Dénes Kanyo, che vedo di settimana in settimana, è per questo che sono così orgoglioso di lui quando è arrivato sulla cima del mondo, all’età di 33 anni! Nel complesso ho la fortuna di essere in buona amicizia con la maggior parte dei Pinnatisti. (Come Davide Manca e Rubes Levada: quei giorni di gloria!?)
Vostri migliori risultati (riassunto):
Un po’ di questo, un po’ di quello… ? Campione Europeo, e Campione del Mondo con il Record Mondiale
Record Nazionali o Europei/Mondiali (anche passati):
Si, negli 800m SF ho ancora il record nazionale. nei 400SF avevo il record nazionale ma è stato battuto da Dénes Kanyó quest’anno.
Preferite le gare individuali o staffette?
Preferisco le gare individuali, queste sono più prevedibili. Ma se io non ero in buone condizioni, ho comunque fatto il possibile nelle staffette. Tutto per i compagni!
Preferite le gare in piscina o di fondo?
Principalmente in piscina. Ma con il fondo ho un rapporto speciale.
Quale è la vostra specialità (distanze,superficie o immersione)?
400sf – 800sf!!!
Che tipo di pinne/monopinne usi?
Ungheresi fatte a Kaposvar
Quali altri sport avete praticato in precedenza?
Ho provato il calcio, per un breve periodo nuoto, e durante la mia carriera andavo in bicicletta con il mio allenatore e amico Tamás Safar.
Praticate altri sport attualmente? si
Se si quali?
bici su strada, a volte triathlon, or duathlone, swimming
Anno di ingresso nella Squadra Nazionale (Assoluta o Giovanile, lasciare in bianco se non sei mai entrato):
Sono diventato un componente della nazionale piuttosto presto, nel 1991, avevo 12 anni. Ma il primo campionato europeo giovanile a cui ho preso parte è stato nel 1994. Quando ho incontrato Rubes e Davide!
Ultimo anno in Squadra Nazionale (se siete ancora lasciare in bianco):
2005 I World Games a Douisbourg.
Avete un vostro sito internet oppure quello della squadra?
Sfortunatamente no…!
Hobbies:
Bici, suonare la chitarra, cani, viaggiare
Altri commenti:
Credo che questo tuo “lavoro” che fai con il sito è grande. Penso che questo il Nuoto Pinnato abbia bisogno di molta gente interessata a divulgarlo.
