About Margit Kalocsai

Lived 1909 – 1993 (aged 83). Margit Kalocsai was a Hungarian artistic gymnast and gymnast.

Margit Kalocsai (27 December 1909 – 23 November 1993) was a Hungarian gymnast who competed in the 1936 Summer Olympics.

At the first-ever World Championships for women, she was the 2nd-place finisher, which stands in extreme contrast to her 41st-place individual result at the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics where her marks in both the compulsory and voluntary segments on 2 of the 3 events contested were extremely low (61st place overall on the parallel bars (which Kalocsai and her Hungarian teammates did not attend), yet just above her at the 1936 Berlin Olympics in 40th place. At those Olympics, incidentally, just like Skirlinska, it was Kalocsai's marks, in both segments of the competition, on both parallel bars and vaulting horse, rather than her relatively good placement on beam (5th for Kalocsai and 15th for Skirlinska ), that contributed to her reversal in fortune.
