A TRAGIC LOSS

DateTuesday, July 15, 2008

My deepest condolences go out to the family, friends and teammates of Gyorgy Kolonics. Gyorgy died from heart failure this morning while on the water training for what would have been his 5th Olympic games for Hungary. He was twice Olympic Champion, World Champion 15 times, and a sincere and gracious gentleman. I didn't know him very well, but well enough that he was, and continues to be a true inspiration. You will be missed, and remembered by all of us Kolo.
