Life

At the 1968 Olympic Games , the javelin final began like four years earlier: the Romanian Mihaela Peneș took the lead in the first attempt. Unlike four years earlier, however, it was exceeded in the second attempt, when Angéla Németh succeeded in the only 60-meter throw of the competition with 60.36 m. Németh won gold ahead of Mihaela Peneș and Eva Janko from Austria.

After her marriage, she entered the European Championships in 1969 as Angéla Ránky . With 59.76 m she won ahead of her compatriot Magdolna Vidos . Two years later at the European Championships in 1971 Angéla Ránky was fourth with 57.44 m.

At the 1972 Olympic Games , Angéla Ránky narrowly missed the final with 53.48 m as 13th of the qualification. Magdolna Paulányi, as Magdolna Vidos was called after the marriage, came in twelfth with 53.62 m.
