Her family seeks help
VG reports that Henrietta Ónodi, a Hungarian Olympic champion and 38-time national titleholder, has faced severe health challenges after suffering a heart attack in March. Following her emergency surgery to address a near-complete blockage in her arteries, she spent the last two months in a long-term care rehabilitation hospital before a recent transfer to the emergency room. Her sister, Barbara Ónodi-Klausler, has been actively updating supporters and expressed gratitude for the nearly USD 36,000 raised through a GoFundMe campaign. The funds, donated by over 600 people, aim to help cover the exorbitant medical expenses, with a goal of reaching half a million dollars.
