You've worked hard all your life for that one dream to come true..
Károly Takács was born in Budapest, Hungary on 21 January 1910. Many of us do not know about him but his story inspires many and he is still a national hero of Hungary.
He joined the army as a sergeant and his main interest was in pistol shooting.
Takacs was a winner.He was not allowed to play in the 1936 Olympics as he was a sergeant and only commissioned officers can participate in games. By 1938 he became a top-notch shooting player of Hungary and the ban was also lifted by that time.
Hence he became the national favorite for gold in the upcoming 1940 Tokyo Olympics. Just a few months before the 1940 Olympics he lost his right hand when a faulty grenade exploded in his hands during army training camp.
It was a major setback for a person who was at the helm of the world ranking of pistol shooting. At that time he can find so many shoulders to weep over his loss. He spent one month in the hospital to recover from the injury but we can't imagine the mental pain he might have faced at that time.
