Laszlo Volenter

[corin_huke]

For those of you that ventured this side of the pond, you'll remember one of the Mighty Magyars from the 1980s & 90s, Laszlo Volenter. The varnished Danisch boat, Pepsi decal on the side and No. 25, the memories come flooding back.....seeing Laszlo and Manfred Loth, their boats riding at a 45 degree angle (yes, you read that right!), the Danischs just balancing, gently rocking from side to side on the rear end, was a sight to be seen

Laszlo doesn't get along to many of the race meetings any more but I bumped into him in Italy a few years ago and he was on good form. More recently, a friend was due to go skiing with him in December 2005 (with another Hungarian name from the past, Csepregi) but Laszlo couldn't make it as he was ill - just a cold & flu I believe
