They had one child, László, who became the youngest Hungarian champion in tennis in 1986 at the age of 16, and later had a successful career as a sports executive, being the chairman of Vasas SC and a member of Hungarian Olympic Committee.[3]

gollark: A social media site is most useful if everyone you know is on it, or at least a decent fraction. Without people being there it is very hard to switch over.
gollark: Maybe the anticompetitiveness is an inevitable result of the network effects driving these sites.
gollark: Problem is, there aren't any more "public square"-y spaces which anyone actually *uses*, because the giant social media sites have pulled most traffic into their walled garden things.

gollark: What an extremely sensible way to derive political positions!
