Ákos Inotay

Ákos Inotay was born in Bačka Topola and was a Yugoslav citizen until 1934. After moving to Budapest, he competed in the colors of the Hungária Evezős Egylet and between 1934 and 1942 he won the Hungarian championship title ten times with different clubs. He achieved his greatest success at the age of 23, when he won the European Championship title in 1934 as a member of the coxed eights. In 1935, with the same boat, he finished first at the World College Games. The following year, he was no longer selected into the eights, so he competed with the coxed fours at the Berlin Olympics. He reached the final with the Hungarian team and finished in fifth place. Starting in 1932, he attended the Medical University of Budapest intermittently.

However, his studies were interrupted by the Second World War, along with his sports career. He spent several years as a prisoner of war, then spent six long years caring for his seriously ill wife. Later he worked as a photographer.
