István Sugár started athletics in the colors of MTK in the twenties. From 1924 he competed for the KAOE and then from 1928 for the UTE. He was primarily a sprinter. He achieved his greatest individual success in 1930, when he won the Hungarian 100m championship. He was eight times national champion as a member of the 4X100m (1925-28) and 4X400m (1924-27) relays. As a member of the Hungarian national team, he also started in the relay, 4x100m, at the Amsterdam Olympics. The relay was disqualified in the preliminary round, although based on the result there, they could have finished third in the final. After World War II. he coached in several associations (UTE, Vasas Izzó, Vörös Lobogó), mainly dealing with young people. He was a starter for a long time and later a timekeeper in competitions.
