    Ph.D. Anton Gajdoš born on 1.6.1940 in Dubriniči (today Ukraine)
    lives most of his life in Bratislava (ex TCH, nowadays SVK). He
    comes from gymnastics family (his brother Pavel have world
    championship medals) and he devoted his life to gymnastics. His
    last achievement is establishment of Narodna encyklopedia športu
    Slovenska (www.sportency.sk). Among his passion is collecting
    photos and signatures of gymnasts. As we tend to forget old
    champions and important gymnasts, judges and coaches, we
    decided to publish part of his archive under title Short historical
    notes. All information on these pages is from Anton’s archives and
    collected through years. Short historical Notes XXIII were written
    in collaboration with Michal Bábela, PhD.

    Szilveszter CSOLLÁNY (April, 13, 1970 Sopron – January, 24, 2022 Budapest,
    Hungary)

    Szilveszter Csollany was known for his extraordinary strength from his childhood. He had not
    a typical body of a gymnast as his curved legs did not match the aesthetic requirements of
    gymnastics. He knew that, but reckoned he would still have a chance to became succesfull
    gymnast if he managed to execute his routines reliably and without mistakes. It is usual that
    the talented men are autonomus and have their own ways. He was one of those gymnasts who
    can be difficult to work with. He was helped by several coaches both in his club and on the
    national selected team during his career, notably by Nándor Szólás in Gyõr. (from book Rings
    by Ivan Čuk and István Karácsony).

    He lived in Budapest with Szilvia and daugther Szimona.

    The first gymnastics competition was at 1983 and soon showed his great potential, especially
    on rings. The first international debut was in Korea in 1988, where he placed 3rd on rings.
    Same year at Junior European Championship in Avignon he took bronze medal on rings.

    As senior his achievements are:

    European Championship
    1990 Lausanne (SUI) Rings 3.
    1992 Budapest (HUN) Rings 3.
    1994 Prague (CZE) Rings 3.
    1998 St.Petersburg (RUS) Rings 1.
