Zoltán Sándor

Zoltán Sándor took up sport shooting in 1942, at the age of 16, and his talents were noticed quickly, as, later that year, he joined the team of the factory where he was working as an industrial apprentice. He served in the military during World War II and was taken prisoner by the Soviets, not returning to his home country until December 1946. He joined the national team in 1960 and represented Hungary at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, where he placed 16th in the free rifle, three positions, 300 metres event. He also attended the 1966 World Championships, where he placed fifth with the Hungarian team.

Sándor retired from active competition in 1975, having won five individual and 24 team national titles, but stayed active in the sport by coaching through 1993. By career, he continued his industrial education, earned advanced degrees, and worked as an instructor at an engineering college.
