Information Letter no. 05-2008

 

 

Dear Member Federations,

 

It is with great sadness that we have to inform you about the death of

 

Tibor Székely (HUN)

 

who died on 1st March, just a few days before his 86th birthday, in his home town Budapest.

 

A honorary member of the FIE since more than 20 years he also served for many years as member of the FIE-SEMI Commission, both on world championships and Olympic Games, and also at European Championships. It must also be mentioned that he was for many years one of the top organisers of well-known competitions in Hungary, including the Coupe d’Europe and veterans championships.

 

The European Fencing Confederation sends its deepest sympathy and condolences to the family of Mr. Székely and to the Fencing Federation of Hungary.

 

 

Alisher Usmanov
