- Abstract
At the 1936 Summer Olympics (Berlin), the Olympic team representing the Kingdom of Hungary included numerous athletes who, according to the peace treaty signed on 4 June 1920 at the Grand Trianon Palace in Versailles, were born in territories ceded to the Kingdom of Romania. Among them was Kálmán Bartalis from Szamosújvár/Gherla, who was a member of the Hungarian team that achieved fourth place in the polo competition. The team composed of Kálmán Bartalis, Count István Bethlen, Tivadar Dienes-Oehm, Dezsõ Kovács, and Imre Szentpályi lost the bronze match against Mexico in front of 25,000 spectators. Due to the significantly high transportation costs of both the riders and the horses, primarily, this sport no longer appeared in the Olympic program.
