Other sports:

He won gold in the junior C1 event at the 2017 Canoe Marathon World Championships in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. (vaol.hu, 28 Sep 2020; wmc2017.co.za, 07 Sep 2017)

He began canoeing in 2008 in Szentendre, Hungary. He switched his focus from canoe marathon to canoe sprint in 2017. (magyaredzo.hu, 29 Jun 2020; nemzetisport.hu, 21 Jun 2020; vaol.hu, 28 Sep 2020)

His parents led water tours in Szigetkoz, Hungary, which gave him the chance to paddle on the Moson-Danube river as a child. "I started canoeing in Szentendre, then I joined Obudai Ganz VSE [in Budapest, Hungary], where there was a kayak team and I was the only canoeist." (vaol.hu, 28 Sep 2020)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (nemzetisport.hu, 21 Jun 2020)

Philosophy:

General Interest

General
CREWMATE
He and his C2 crewmate Daniel Fejes teamed up in 2019. They both paddle on the right-hand side of the canoe. "When we were each other's opponents, we always said it was a pity that we paddled on the same side. Then we tried paddling together and it went surprisingly well. First I steered and Dani was up front, but it wasn't a good line-up. We switched, and since then we've seen that we can work great together. It depends on the wind whether this formation is an advantage or a disadvantage. In a right wind it is even better than a normal pair, because you don't have to steer, and in a left wind it may be harder for the steersman, but Dani hasn't complained so far."
