2010 for Hungary, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania (Athlete, 14 Oct 2015)

He began table tennis in 2009 at age 40 in Hungary. (Athlete, 14 Oct 2015)

Before his accident he was a kickboxer. After acquiring his impairment he tried Para swimming and wheelchair rugby, before he was encouraged by coach Brigitta Szabo to give Para table tennis a try. "I am lucky. I grew up in a family in which education and exercise were part of everyday life. I was fearful when I first started table tennis. I was afraid that I would have an accident with the chair at the table, but I enjoyed watching the other players spin and slice the ball. So I decided to stick with it." (kecskemetilapok.hu, 22 Feb 2021; hparalimpia.hu, 21 Sep 2019)

To compete at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. (hparalimpia.hu, 17 Sep 2020)

He trains three times a week, which includes sessions with able-bodied players in Szeged, Hungary. "It's a big help for me, but their movement is different from that of a wheelchair user. That's why training camps are good, because then I can train with athletes in a similar category. There are few Para table tennis players in Hungary, but it is more appropriate to play against them." (hparalimpia.hu, 17 Sep 2020; szeged365.hu, 11 Apr 2020)

"After an accident it is good to get back into the community. Sport gives a purpose to one's life, and is an example of how to live happily." (kecskemetilapok.hu, 22 Feb 2021)
