Hungarian 'Immortal Athletes' Elect New President

Two-time Olympic champion epée fencer Tímea Nagy has been elected as president by the Association of Immortal Hungarian Athletes.

The convening of the General Assembly was necessary due to the death of the previous president, György Kárpáti, a three-time Olympic champion water polo player in June.

The sole candidate, Tímea Nagy, was unanimously elected president of the organization.

“When I undertook the nomination for the presidency, I asked to be able to write a letter to each member that I would only nominate myself if there would be no other candidate, because I did not want to be president against someone but for the Association. Since no one else applied and the members supported me, I was glad to say yes to the invitation,” she said.
