heywoodu 13,549 Posted June 18, 2020 #313 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Damn, only ten players ever won three gold medals and in two days, two of them died If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

It is confirmed that he had a serious illness (it is said to be cancer but this is not disclosed officially) But would make sense, as he was only 48... In May 2020 he retired from coaching and other waterpolo related activities ( I think he was also active in the Federation), probably becasue of his illness (back then only "personal reasons" were said) TV also shows now that a lot of people are queueing on the Margaret Island (over 100 or several hundred meters long) in front of the National Swimming Complex (Alfred Hajos), site of several international competitions, to light a candle in memory of him (there is a small "shrine" with a big photo of Benedek) A big loss to Hungarian sport, and water polo in general. RIP. phelps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP. This has already been a bad month for Hungary with three other medallists - one in boxing and two in fencing - passing away apart from their two great water polo players.

heywoodu 13,549 Posted June 21, 2020 #320 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Damn Died due to complications at childbirth, according to Wikipedia - which is the only English 'source' I've found so far, so it is a question.
