Richárd Weisz
Richárd Weisz was a heavyweight Greco-Roman wrestler from Hungary. He competed at the 1906 Intercalated Games and 1908 Summer Olympics and won a gold medal in 1908.
Weisz trained in athletics and rowing before changing to wrestling. He won an unofficial national wrestling title in 1899, and then seven consecutive official titles in 1903–1909. He also competed in weightlifting and won the national heavyweight championships in 1905–1908. He was banned by the Hungarian amateur wrestling federation for participating in a professional wrestling bout against Stanislaus Zbyszko, and after that performed in a circus. His amateur status was restored before the 1912 Olympics, but he declined to compete due to waning motivation.
