 | | When the game was introduced in Hungary in 1897, a goal was usually scored by touching the goal with the ball in hand. |
 | | Komjadi helped Hungary form the non-medaling Olympic teams of 1912 and 1924, and the European Championship teams of 1926, 1927, and 1931, all of which won gold medals. |
 | | His drive, dedication, techniques and respect were all carried on by his unofficially adopted son, Bela Rashel, who became Hungary's great water polo coach, author, historian, scientist and contributor, aiding in Hungary's triumphant Olympic tradition of winning the gold - fourteen from the last fifteen Olympic Games, a span of 64 years. |
