Zoltán Halmay

Zoltán Imre Ödön Halmay de Erdőtelek (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈzoltaːn ˈhɒlmɒi]; 18 June 1881 – 20 May 1956) was a Hungarian Olympic swimmer.

He was Hungarian champion 14 times and won the English, the German and the Austrian Championships as well.

His versatility is shown by the fact that he was also a remarkable athlete, rower and football player, and he also won a national-level championship in roller-skating over 5000 metres.

At the ceremony organised at the main square of the village, a monument unifying the memorial plaque and the statue of Halmay was set up in collaboration with the Slovak Olympic Committee and the local government of Vysoká pri Morave (Magasfalu).
