In this inspiring episode, we dive into the incredible story of one’s determination to just ‘keep shooting’
We pick up the story of Hungarian pistol shooter Karoly Takács in 1938, with his Olympic dreams in sight. Takács' career seemed over after a grenade accident destroyed his shooting hand. Yet, demonstrating unmatched resilience and focus, he trained in secret to shoot with his non-dominant hand.
One year later, he shocked the world by winning the 1939 World Championships. Despite further setbacks like World War II canceling two Olympic Games, Takács' relentless pursuit led him to win gold in the 1948 London Olympics.
