Attila Horváth

Attila Horváth (born 28 July 1967 in Kőszeg) is a former Hungarian disc designer.

He celebrated the greatest success of his career at the 1991 track and field world championships in Tokyo. There he won the bronze medal with a distance of 65.32 m behind Lars Riedel and Erik de Bruin. Horváth placed himself in front of athletes like Jürgen Schult and Wolfgang Schmidt, who had been in his eighth place at the European Athletics Championships in Split a year before

In the following years Horváth always came close to the medal ranks when it came to major international events. At the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona and at the 1994 European Athletics Championships in Helsinki, he finished fifth, while in the Gothenburg World Championships in 1995 he finished fourth.

After that, he was no longer able to build on his past performance. At the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, he was still 10th in the world, at the World Championships in Athletics in Athens in 1997 and in Seville in 1999 he was already in the qualification.

Attila Horváth was a total of nine times Hungarian masters in the discus throw (1987, 1990-1997). He is 1.94 m tall and weighed 117 kg. BestServicesQual Edit Weblinks Edit sourcetext Edit FootnotesQuote text
