Borkai new Hungarian Olympic President

From THE ALL AROUND:

Zsolt Borkai, the 1987 World Champion and 1988 Olympic Champion on pommel horse, ran unopposed and was elected President of Hungary’s National Olympic Committee. He will take over from Pál Schmitt, who has headed the NOC for nearly 21 years and was elected President of Hungary in August. Borkai is not a stranger to politics, also serving as Mayor of Gyor and as a parliamentary deputy in the government coalition led by the Fidesz party.

It’s always to good to see ex-gymnasts in High Office. And good to see a gymnast with a moustache in Movember.

That’s from the new ALL AROUND Weekly round-up:

• Argentina Nationals
• Hungarian Masters
• Birthdays this week
• Tribute to Patricia Wade (RIP)
