On 28 May we had the great honour that the children of the Cs\u00e1nyi Foundation interested in sports could meet in the online space with two members of the Hungarian Immortal Sportspeople Association, namely Dunai Antal footballer and Vaskuti Istv\u00e1n canoeist. Hungarian people, as a nation are really proud of them as they are Hungarian Olympic champions. It is worth to mention that both champions worked as coaches and sport leaders. Our students had lots of questions and they were enthusiastic to listen the colourful presentation of Dunai Antal and Vaskuti Istv\u00e1n. The listeners now know the daily routine of them, how many hours they devoted for training and they still do it today. Dunai Antal told the students that his role model from late footballers is Pusk\u00e1s Ferenc and from today\u2019s legends is Lionel Messi. He also mentioned his elder brother to whom he is thankful. Vaskuti Istv\u00e1n talked about how it feels to be an Olympic champion, he also brought his golden medal that he won in Moscow, but the most interesting the Fair Play award was, which he also showed us. They got it in Montreal when they lent their spare canoe to the Yugoslavian pair as theirs got hole on it. He highlighted that it is essential in canoeing to find the perfect match who you sit in the same canoe. It was mentioned which sportspeople can make advantage of the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympics and who it would be negative consequences. We have learnt that both champions would choose the same path if they had to start again from the beginning. They encouraged our students to take up any sports that they like. Our Foundation has organised sports programmes and champions and from this year a new sport camp is added to our thematic camps, but we are also proud of our students who have international results just like Doll\u00e1k Tamara wrestler, Fekete Lilla snowboard competitor an Tersety\u00e9nyi Anna footballer and we also have a very successful chess team who are on the best way towards international success. The list is not complete as we have many other talented students with outstanding sport results.<\/p>\n
We are thankful for the Association that they made it possible for us to promote sport among our students. We really do hope that in the future we will have the chance to meet other members of Hungarian Immortal Sportspeople Association.<\/p>\n

As we saw it:<\/p>\n
\u2018It was fantastic to hear the lifetime work of two talented sportsmen. The presentation was interesting, colourful and engaging. Our role models told us that in sports, just like in life stamina and strength is very important, working with others in a team and focus on the result pays off on the long run. It was uplifting when Vaskuti Istv\u00e1n showed us his Olympic golden medal, which he won in Moscow in 1980 and his Fair Play Award that they got for their empathy towards other competitors. Thank you for your answers to our questions. Although the meeting was online it still was once in a lifetime event for us. We hope that this programme will continue in real life soon.\u2019 Majoros Ivett P\u00e9cs 3. csoport, Pint\u00e9r Vanessza P\u00e9cs 2. csoport, Majdik M\u00e1rk P\u00e9cs 2, D\u00f6m\u00f6lki Andr\u00e1s P\u00e9cs 2, B\u00e1lint Gergely P\u00e9cs 1, D\u00f6m\u00f6lki Attila P\u00e9cs 3.<\/p>\n
\u2019What surprised me the most was that when Vaskuti Istv\u00e1n told us how much and how intensive training is required to achieve good results. Six days a week twelve trainings that took him to the first place in the Olympics.\u2019 Camacho Maria, Kaposv\u00e1r<\/p>\n
\u2018For me it was a great honour to get advice and experiences from multiple Olympic champions. One of them is that we never have to give up and we always have to fight if we want to succeed.\u2019 Vajda Mil\u00e1n, Nagybajom 2.<\/p>\n
\u2018It was an experience in itself to meet such Olympic champions who are role models for our generation. I am going to use the advice I got from them in my sport career and in my personal life as well.\u2019 P\u00e1lfi Eszter, Nagybajom 2.<\/p>\n
\u2018Personally, I was happy to meet these Olympic champions as they provided us many examples and tips how to combat during our everyday lives, not just in sports, in order to be more successful. Szalai Bogl\u00e1rka, Nagybajom 2.<\/p>\n
\u2018The presentation was really useful because we got a slice from their sport career and their lives, which can be used as guidelines for our future.\u2019 Bozsoki Csilla, Nagybajom 2.<\/p>\n
\u2018Thank you very much for the possibility that we could meet sportspeople who we are and the whole nation is proud of. Nagybajom 2.<\/p>\n
