Hungarian Olympic champion in critical condition due to coronavirus
Change language:
The 51-year-old former Hungarian Olympic champion receives hospital care in Budapest and is currently in an intensive care unit.
Szilveszter Csollány, Olympic, world and European champion gymnast is on a ventilator – says Magyar Nemzet. The 51-year-old former athlete is currently being treated in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Budapest due to the complications of the coronavirus infection.
The former athlete caught the coronavirus three weeks ago, and his condition began to deteriorate a week ago.
The newspaper called Csollány on the 23rd November to make their usual Saturday interview, but Csollány asked to postpone it due this his illness. Last Monday, he only responded to the newspaper by a text message, saying, that he was still not able to make the interview because he was being hospitalised. After that, he did not respond to the inquiries anymore.
The Hungarian Gymnastics Association said that they cannot confirm or refute the fact that Csollány is in the hospital.
“I do not know details about Szilas’s status or well-being” – said Csollány’s former coach, István Vereckei according to Borsonline.
“Csollány worked as a coach in Austria and was often sharing Covid-skeptical and anti-vaccination content on his Facebook page.”
This begs the question; did he get vaccinated?
Either way it is a tragedy.
