Attila Szekrényessy

Between 1933 and 1942 Attila Szekrényesy was a figure skater with BKE. He competed in pairs along with his sister Piroska. Between 1937 and 1943 they won the Hungarian championship six times. Between 1935 and 1939 they were on the Hungarian national team and at the 1936 Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen they finished fourth. They also finished fourth three times at the World Championships (1935, 1937, 1939) and won two bronze medals at the European Championships in 1936 and 1937.

After being called up as a soldier in 1943, Szekrényessy stopped skating competitively. He was taken prisoner during the war and did not return home until 1948. His first trip led to his old ice rink, but to his shock, they did not let him in. This incident and the long time away from the sport discouraged him from continuing in skating.

Szekrényesy graduated from Pázmány Péter University with a medical degree and then passed a dental examination at the Dental Clinic. Between 1939 and 1949 he was a dentist at the Budapest Dental Clinic and then, after returning from captivity, he opened a dental practice and worked there until his retirement. During this time he enjoyed skiing and sailing. In addition to sports, he enjoyed painting and had several exhibitions.
