Peter Biros

Peter BirosSport: Waterpolo

Nation: Hungary

DOB: April 5, 1976

Career Highlights: Biros has been a member of each of Hungary's three consecutive gold medal-winning Olympic water polo teams. The team captain has produced six multi-goal games in Olympic play - four of them in 2008, highlighted by a three-goal effort in the final round to lead the Hungarians to a 14-10 victory over the United States. Making that performance even more impressive, Biros revealed following the Beijing Games that he'd played the entire tournament with a cyst by his heart - a fact which was known only to Biros and his doctors. He received a Fair Play award for the accomplishment. Nicknamed 'pheasant,' Biros has also helped the Hungarians capture gold medals at the 2003 World Championships, the 2003 FINA World League and the 1999 FINA World Cup.
