 Featured Olympian, Halmay Jeno Zoltan:
 (b. 6/18/1881, Nagymagasfalu,  Northern Hungary - d. 5/20/1956, Budapest)

Winner of 9 Olympic Medals!
Though he was born in Northern Hungary 125 years before it was taken from Hungary and the area became known as "Czechoslovakia" and then "Slovakia," the Slovaks try to claim him and call him Imrich Zoltán Halmaj. Do not be fooled. 

Halmay competed in three consecutive Olympics and medaled in each one. His swimming prowess earned him - 

  • 3 Medals in 1900: 2 Silver (220yd, 4000m freestyle), 1 Bronze (1000m freestyle)
  • 2 Medals in 1904: 2 Gold (50 yard freestyle, 100 yard freestyle)
  • 2 Medals in 1906: 1 Gold (4x250m freestyle relay), 1 Silver (100m freestyle); and 
  • 2 more Medals in 1908: 2 Silver (100m freestyle; 4x200m freestyle relay).
