Anna Sipos
Anna Sipos [ ˈɒnːɒ ʃipoʃ ] (born April 3, 1908 in Szeged , † January 1, 1988 in Budapest ) was a Hungarian table tennis player . She was twice world champion in singles.
Together with Mária Mednyánszky , Anna Sipos dominated both nationally and internationally among women between 1926 and 1933. From 1929 to 1931 Sipos had to be content with 2nd or 3rd place behind Mednyánszky at the World Cup, but the changing of the guard took place in 1932: Sipos won the individual world championship, Mednyánszky took 2nd place. This sequence was repeated at the next World Cup in 1933.
The same picture emerged at the national Hungarian championships: from 1926 to 1935 either Sipos (4 times) or Mednyánszky (6 times) won the title.
In total, Sipos won 21 medals at the world championships, including 11 gold medals.
Until 1932 Sipos was the first woman to hold the club in a penholder position , after the World Cup in 1932 she switched to the shakehand style, which is normal in the western world . Some critics say that this made their game much stronger.
