"Tarics Sándor, a legidősebb élő olimpiai bajnok címmel könyv jelent
meg a 100 esztendősen is kiváló egészségnek örvendő vízilabdázóról,
aki szeptember 23-án ünnepelte kerek születésnapját.
Az Amerikában, közelebbről a San Francisco környéki Belvedere
városkában letelepedett honfitárs életútját két magyar sportújságíró,
Ch. Gáll András és S. Tóth János örökítette meg fotókkal gazdagon
illusztrált kötetében, amelynek szerdán volt a sajtóbemutatója.
Az eseményen Szabó Bence, a Magyar Olimpiai Bizottság főtitkára
elöljáróban elmondta, hogy a MOB támogatásra érdemesnek ítélte a mű
megszületését, egyszersmind büszke rá, hogy a világ legöregebb
olimpiai bajnoka magyar..."
"Sándor Tarics (born September 23, 1913) is a Hungarian water polo
player who competed in the 1936 Summer Olympics. Since the death of
Attilio Pavesi, he has been the oldest living Olympic champion.
Born in Budapest, Tarics was part of the Hungarian team which won the
gold medal, pushing Germany into second. He played two matches, and
scored two goals. He was able to escape post-war Soviet-occupied
Hungary when his engineering degree earned him a teaching fellowship
at an American university. He went on to establish and grow a
successful architecture and engineering practice in San Francisco,
California. As of 2013 he lives in Belvedere, California and is a
member of the Belvedere Tennis Club. He attented the 2012 London
Olympics as the oldest living Olympic champion and turned 100 in
September 2013..."
"When Sándor Tarics arrived at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, aged 23, it
seemed like he was walking into a German military boot camp. "There
were swastikas everywhere," Tarics remembers from his waterfront home
in Belvedere, California. "There were all these uniformed soldiers.
And Hitler."
The Hungarian water polo player and his team went on to take the gold
medal, pushing the Germans into second place, to Hitler's dismay."
