Zoltan was born on December 13,
1953 in Budapest and trained at FTC Ferencvaros with coach Laszlo Vigh.
Magyar's father wanted his son to be a soccer player and was disappointed that
his son had taken up gymnastics -- until he won his first world title on pommel
horse in 1974. Magyar went on to defend that title at the 1978
and 1979 world championships.
Today, he's a veterinarian in Budapest.
