Career

At the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City Balogh competed in the 100 metres, 200 metres and the 4 × 100 metres relay,[1] only qualifying from the first round in the 100 metres, in which she was eliminated in the second round.[1]

Balogh also competed in the 1969 European Championships in Athens without much more success,[2] but two years later in Helsinki she won the silver at 200 metres, running 23.26 and losing only to East Germany's Renate Stecher.[3] In addition, she placed fifth in both the 100 metres and the 4 × 100 metres relay.[2]

She returned to the Olympics in 1972 Summer Olympics, this time running the 400 metres.[1] She led the quarter-finals with a time of 51.71, which was her personal best and briefly an Olympic record.[1] In the semi-finals she ran 51.90 and qualified for the final, in which she placed eighth and last in 52.39; her quarter-final time would have been enough.for fourth place.[1]

Representing the Budapest club Vasas SC, Balogh won Hungarian championships in the 100 m (1968, 1971 and 1972), 200 m (1968–1972), 400 m (1971 and 1972), 4 × 100 m (1969–1972 and 1975), 4 × 200 m (1969–1971 and 1975), 4 × 400 m (1970–1972 and 1975) and 80 m hurdles (1968).[4] As of 2014, her personal best in the 200 metres (22.8 from 1971) is still the Hungarian record.[5]

gollark: Well, this was for ND research, and I didn't want to refresh random eggs constantly.
gollark: ```javascript// ==UserScript==// @name DC Egg Time Getter// @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/// @match https://dragcave.net/view/*// @grant none// ==/UserScript==function getCapture(text, regex, def) { const result = text.match(regex); if (result === null || result === undefined) { if (def === undefined) { throw new Error("Text did not match regex."); } else { return def; } } else { return result[1]; }}const text = document.body.textContent;const days = parseInt(getCapture(text, /in: (\d+) day/, 0));const hours = parseInt(getCapture(text, /and (\d+) hour/, 0));const allHours = (days * 24) + hours;const storage = window.localStorage;const lastTime = storage.remainingTime;console.log("Time Remaining:", allHours);// check for low-ER timesif (allHours < 72) { console.log("Egg/Hatchling in low ER!"); if (lastTime !== allHours.toString()) { const d = new Date(); localStorage.changeTime = d.getTime().toString(); console.log("WAS", lastTime, "NOW", allHours) console.log("Hour Change Time FOUND!"); } else { storage.remainingTime = allHours; setTimeout(() => window.location.reload(), 2000); }}```Probably suboptimal, but I was in a hurry.
gollark: It worked quite well, though I did have to manually narrow them down a bit.
gollark: To get around all the work of refreshing for an hour, I made a userscript to refresh every few seconds and check if the time changes.
gollark: I did *almost* that.
