Keleti began her Olympic career with the Hungarian gymnastics club in 1940, before being kicked off the team the following year for being Jewish. The story of Keleti\u2019s success would feature quite a few similarly religion-charged disputes before eventual Olympic success. <\/p>\n<p>Following Keleti\u2019s 1941 expulsion from the Hungarian gymnastics club, the talented athlete was forced into hiding as World War II, and its fearful implications on those who identified as Jewish, became more inescapable. The Hungarian countryside served as an asylum for Keleti as she waited out the war working as a maid under a false Christian identity. However, her father was not as fortunate and was killed in the Auschwitz concentration camp.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_28457\" style=\"width: 1957px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28457\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-01-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1947\" height=\"2560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-01-scaled.jpg 1947w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-01-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-01-779x1024.jpg 779w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-01-768x1010.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-01-1168x1536.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-01-1557x2048.jpg 1557w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-01-1080x1420.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1947px) 100vw, 1947px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28457\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: International Olympic Committee<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nFollowing the war Keleti continued her gymnastics career, accumulating ten Olympic medals for the Hungarian club, five of which were gold. In 1957 Keleti moved to Israel, where she first competed in the 1957 Maccabiah games before eventually becoming a coach for Israel\u2019s national gymnastics team.   <\/p>\n<p>Nowadays Keleti is back in Hungary, a walking century-old inspiration to both gymnasts and Jewish people across the world. One of the most successful Jewish women in Olympic history, Keleti has created a global legacy despite beginning her professional career with a club that deemed her religion a deal-breaker. <\/p>\n<p>In the year 2021, we have reached a point in which many of those who survived the Holocaust are no longer living, and the few that remain are sparse and likely nearing the final stages of their lives. The lack of remaining survivors makes Keleti&#8217;s recent 100th birthday a milestone to celebrate not only for the Hungarian legend but for Jews everywhere.  Keleti is an inspiration because despite the anti-semitism that threatened not only her career but her life, she, just as the Jewish people, have prevailed.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_28451\" style=\"width: 2130px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28451\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-03.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2120\" height=\"1200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-03.jpeg 2120w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-03-300x170.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-03-1024x580.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-03-768x435.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-03-1536x869.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-03-2048x1159.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-09-keleti-inside-03-1080x611.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2120px) 100vw, 2120px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-28451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Hungarian Olympic Committee<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nRecently a brand new book about Keleti\u2019s life was published by the Hungarian Gymnastics Federation entitled, Because I Love Life &#8211; The Queen of Gymnastics, 100 years of Agnes Keleti.
