K%C3%A1roly Tak%C3%A1cs

Kroly Takcs was the first shooter to win two Olympic gold medals in themetre rapid fire pistol event, both with his left hand after his right hand was seriously injured. He is the third known physically disabled athlete to have competed in the Olympic Games after George Eyser in 1904 and Olivr Halassy in 1928, followed by Liz Hartel in 1952 and Neroli Fairhall in 1984.

Takcs was born in Budapest and joined the Hungarian Army. By 1936, he was a worldclass pistol shooter, but he was denied a place in the Hungarian shooting team for the 1936 Summer Olympics on the grounds that he was a sergeant, and only commissioned officers were allowed to compete. This prohibition was lifted in Hungary after the Berlin Games, and Takcs had expectations of success at the 1940 Summer Olympics, scheduled to be held in Tokyo.
