Career

Deák Bárdos initially competed in both Greco-Roman and freestyle . At the Junior European Championships in 1993 and two years later at the Espoirs World Championships, he started in free style. In 1997 he wrestled at the European Senior Championships in the Greco-Roman style, in which he still competes today.

In 1997 he finished eleventh at the European Championship in Kouvola . A few months later he started at the World Championships in Wroclaw . He was able to win his first three fights. With Piotr Kotok from Ukraine he got a tough opponent in the fourth round, but he defeated him 1-0 and moved into the final, where Alexander Karelin faced him. The fight was over after just 3:35 minutes, after Deák Bárdos was hopelessly behind with 0:13. In 1998 he finished fourth at the European Championships and ninth at the World Championships.

At the European Championships in 1999 Deák Bardos had enormous Lospech. In the first round he met the practically unbeatable Alexander Karelin, who later secured the European Championship. The fight was stopped prematurely when the score was 0: 4 for Karelin. Against Dimitri Debelka from Belarus he was also without a chance to win and so he was 15th out of 15 participants. The World Championship tournament in Athens started Deák Bárdos with a victory over the Romanian Ioan Ticala . However, against the equally well-rated US American Dremiel Byers he lost 4-1. In the fourth round he shouldered the Israeli Youri Evseytchik shortly before the end of the fight. His opponent in the fifth round was Héctor Milián , against whom Deák Bárdos lost 4-0 on points.

The 2000 Olympic year began with third place at the European Championships in Moscow . At the Olympic Games , where he was seeded for the 2nd round, he met Karelin again. Karelin won this time after 1:48 minutes. In the second round he defeated his second big opponent Sergei Mureiko, but the win was narrow and Deák Bárdos was eliminated from the tournament in eleventh place.

In 2001 he was able to celebrate his greatest success to date. At the European Championships in Istanbul he became European Champion and traveled to Patras for the World Championships with high expectations . He got off to a good start there. He won four times in a row and qualified for the final. His opponent there was called Rulon Gardner . Mihály Deák Bárdos and the US-American fought a typical heavyweight fight, but Gardner came out as the winner after 9 minutes with 2-0.

In 2002 he was beaten again in the final. The Russian Yuri Patrikejew was stronger in the final of the European Championship in Seinäjoki . Everything started very well at the World Championships in Moscow . He won against the Finns Juha Ahokas (3-0) and against Yuri Patrikejew with 2-1 after extra time. He played the final against Dremiel Byers; Deák Bárdos failed to win a final for the third time in a row, as Byers won 3-0.

The bad luck at tournament fights continued in 2003. At the European Championships in Belgrade , he again prevailed four times in a row, sometimes clearly. In the final, however, Juha Ahokas retaliated for the defeat at the World Championships last year with 5: 2. But already at the world championships in the same year Deák defeated Bárdos Ahokas again. He later made it back to the final, but lost to Chassan Barojew 3-1. At the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Deák Bárdos only finished 10th.

In the following years he continued to compete for Hungary, but without any notable successes. At the World Cup tournament in 2008 in Szombathely , Hungary , he came first, ahead of his permanent competitor Dremiel Byers. In the same year he was eighth in his third Olympic participation in Beijing. In 2009 he was able to fight for the triumph at the European Championships in Vilnius. After losing to the Swede Jalmar Sjöberg, he won his next two fights and finally took bronze.
