my will to live completely overcame my desire to win
alfred hajos was 13 years old when he felt compelled to become a good swimmer after his father drowned in the danube river. the first olympic swimming contests, at the 1896 athens games, were held in the bay of zea in water with a temperature of only 13 degrees celsius. hajos won the 100m and the 1,200m freestyle on the same day (11 april).
for the longer race, the nine entrants were transported by boat to the open water and left alone to swim back to shore. according to hajos, "i must say that i shivered from the thought of what would happen if i got a cramp from the cold water. my will to live completely overcame my desire to win". in 1924 hajos won a prize in the architectural division of the olympic art contest.

13岁的时候,阿尔弗雷德•哈约什的父亲溺水身亡,这让哈约什下觉决心成为一名优秀的游泳运动员。第一届夏季奥运会于1896年在希腊雅典举行,当时游泳比赛在水温13度的海湾中举行。哈约什在同一天举行的100米和1200米自由泳比赛中,都获得金牌。在长距离比赛中,所有的运动员都由船送到海上,然后跳进海里,再游回岸边。由于比赛是在海湾中举行,而且海水非常凉,运动员受到冰冷的海水的影响,“我必须拼命的游,我担心如果我在这么冷的海里抽筋的话,我可能就没命了,我对生命的渴望超过了我对胜利的追求”。他不但是游泳运动员,他也参加足球比赛,并且是第一届匈牙利国家足球队的一员。在哈约什的有生之年中,他在建筑艺术上留下了很多财富,他设计了世界上第一座室内游泳池,成为匈牙利现代体育建筑的开创者。1924年,哈约什还获得奥林匹克艺术比赛的设计冠军
