TAMAS FARAGO (HUN)
1993 Honor Water Polo Player
In the opinion of many international judges and players, Tamas Farago is one of the best athletes to ever play the game of water polo. Known for his amazing attacking and shooting skills Farago was the single most reason for Hungary's Olympic medal performances of 1972, 1976, and 1980.
Water polo is Hungary's national sport, and games are played with the same intensity as football games are played throughout Europe. Because of its strong teams of the 1970s, Hungary was always considered a contender for a medal in any tournament, and Tamas Farago was the main reason why.
