Gábor Gergely
Hungarian table tennis player
Gábor Gergely (born 21 June 1953, in Budapest) is a former international table tennis player from Hungary.
Table tennis career
From 1974 to 1983 he won several medals in singles, doubles, and team events in the Table Tennis European Championships, including three medals with the Hungarian team in the World Table Tennis Championships.
Material and playing style
Gergely plays a butterfly offensive wood with both sides 2,5 mm super river. He tries to attack close to the table and especially with the forehand hard topspins, but was also able to play successful from the half-distance with a lot of spin from both sides.
His four World Championship medals included a gold medal in the doubles with István Jónyer at the 1975 World Table Tennis Championships and the team event at the 1979 World Table Tennis Championships.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Gábor Gergely” as hungarian table tennis player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as hungarian table tennis player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q673552. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1953, 1974, 1983 and 1975.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
