Olympic gold medalist dies
Jozsef Csermak, who became the first Olympic gold medallist to throw the hammer more than 60 metres, has died following a heart attack. He was 68.
Csermak's throw of 60.34m (197.97 feet) at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics broke the world record of 59.88m (196.46 ft) set by fellow Hungarian Imre Nemeth.
He went on to win the gold at the 1954 European Championships in Switzerland.
After his retirement, Csermak turned to coaching, training another Hungarian champion, Gyula Zsivotzky.
Silver medallist in Rome 1960 and Tokyo 1964, Zsivotzky took the gold in 1968 in Mexico and was fifth at the 1972 Munich Games.
