Synopsis
Sándor Iharos (born as Sándor Izrael), never knew his father and was brought up by his mother and other relatives. In 1948, he became an apprentice at the Gamma factory. At the age of 19, he started running after being given a pair of sneakers at the BEAC sports ground and he has soon became one of the emblematic figures of the fifties. He set world records in medium and long distance running and was awarded the Helms Prize for the world's best sportsman before 60,000 spectators in Népstadion. What has followed afterwards?
