Agnes Keleti, born Agnes Klein, emerged as a celebrated gymnast despite the oppressive backdrop of World War II, showcasing resilience by winning her first championship in 1940.
Hiding in a village with false papers, she narrowly escaped the Nazi death camps, and her family's loss during the war deeply influenced her life and career.
At the age of 31, Keleti defied expectations and won her first Olympic gold in 1952, later reaching unprecedented heights in 1956 with four gold medals.
With a total of 10 Olympic medals, including five golds, Keleti stands as a symbol of triumph and perseverance, becoming Hungary’s most successful Olympian.
