Peter Palos

Started: He began playing table tennis in 2000 in Hungary. (Athlete, 11 May 2016) Reason: "It seemed to me an easy sport. You only have to hit the ball to the other side - or so I thought. When I was age 14 I went with my mother to the table tennis training hall of the club BVSC Zuglo. There I realised that this sport is not so easy. Eventually I became obsessed."

(asztaliteniszezz.hu, 26 Jan 2024) Milestones: He became the first Hungarian to win more than one table tennis gold medal at the Paralympic Games when he claimed his second gold in the men's class 11 singles event at the 2020 Games in Tokyo, having previously won gold in the same event at London 2012.
