Olga Nemes
Olga Nemes (born June 9, 1968 in Târgu Mureş , Mureş County , Romania ) is a successful table tennis player . The native Romanian of Hungarian origin has lived and played in Germany since 1984. She won the German championship five times and was European team champion twice.
Youth in Romania
Olga Nemes grew up in Romania. From the age of six she played table tennis. She played in the clubs of Târgu Mureş, at CS Arad and again in Târgu Mureş. During her time in Romania she achieved her first table tennis successes: in 1981 and 1982 she won the championship of Romania in singles and doubles, in 1983 she became European youth champion. At the World Championships in Tokyo she reached the last sixteen in the singles, and in the European TOP12 tournament she took first place. At the age of 14 she is still the youngest winner of the European TOP12. In 1983 she was ranked number 1 in the European ranking of girls. Nemes estimates that she competed for Romania about 40 times.
Due to increasing problems with the Romanian table tennis association, Olga Nemes feared that she would no longer be invited to international events. That is why she left the Romanian delegation during the Swiss International Championships in Olten in 1983 and fled to Germany. On May 21, 1985 she received German citizenship and subsequently played for Germany.
Career in Germany
After the mandatory ban when changing nations, Olga Nemes was eligible to play for the German national team from November 1985. Nevertheless, their participation in the 1986 European Championships in Prague was in jeopardy because the CSSR only guaranteed a return trip to Germany at the last moment and promised to reject a possible extradition request from Romania.
To date she has been appointed to the national team 170 times. She took part eight more times with Germany in world championships and eight times in European championships. In 1996 and 2000 she won the European gold medal with the women. At German championships she won the title five times in singles, four times in doubles and four times in mixed.
A thyroid disease forced her to take a seven-month break in 1987 and prevented her from taking part in the 1987 World Cup and the German Championship. In 1995 she won the German championship in singles and doubles just eight weeks after the birth of her son.
Her disappointment was great when she was not considered for the 2004 Olympic Games, despite winning the German championship in 2003. She moved to the Hungarian club Postas Budapest and has been playing for Romania again since 2005.
In 2009 she took part in a European Senior Championship for the first time. In the over 40s she won the singles and doubles titles with Szilvia Káhn .
Private
In May 1987 her parents and her younger sister Tünde moved to Germany. Olga is trained as a business consultant. In August 1994 she married Istvan Gaspar, a former Hungarian football player from the 2nd division; with him she has a son named Steven (* 1995). She is now divorced. Since 2003 she has been offering table tennis courses in Hungary.
In 1986 she published her biography Mein Tagebuch (Verlag Ingrid Weber-Sons, Neuhausen 1986, ISBN 3926282002 ).
Her sister Tünde (born May 13, 1970 ) joined the newly promoted Bundesliga TuS Glane in 1987 , later she played for several years in the 2nd table tennis Bundesliga (ATSV Saarbrücken, Fraulautern, VfL Sindelfingen).
