Tamás Molnár (powerlifter)

Tamás Molnár, born on 5 June 1975 in Mosonmagyaróvár, Hungary, is a powerlifter and world champion. He joined the junior and senior national teams from 1997 and set national deadlift records several times; from 2012 he has been a professional sportsman, and in 2014 he took first place in Argentina at the GPC World Championship as the absolute winner. He began weight training at 15 to compensate for a thinner than average build and soon found he was stronger than most of his training colleagues in the squat, which led him to powerlifting. He took part in his first competition in 1993, placing third in the 82.5 kilogram category at the county squat and bench press championship in Sopron.
