Sports life
At the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Kucsera and his partner Zoltán Kammerer competed in the kayak sculls over 500 and 1000 meters and missed bronze with two fourth places each.
Kammerer was already the partner over 500 (bronze) and 1000 meters (gold) at the 2006 World Championships in Szeged, while Roland Kökény was in the boat a year earlier in Zagreb (gold over 1000 m).
In 2007, Kammerer also secured the third of three European championship titles for Kucsera in Pontevedra, Galicia, in K2 over 1000 m, when the two Germans Andreas Ihle and Rupert Wagner were relegated to silver by seven tenths of a second.
In June 2015, Kucsera was found to have had cocaine abuse and was subsequently banned for two years.
