Medal record
|
Béla Rerrich (26 November 1917 – 24 June 2005) was a Hungarian fencer. He won a silver medal in the team épée event at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne.
During the Melbourne Olympics the Hungarian revolution happened, and Rerrich decided not to go back to Hungary. He eventually ended up in where he successfully taught fencing for many years, being the fencing master of Djurgårdens IF Fäktförening, the fencing department of sports club Djurgårdens IF, from when it was founded in 1958 until his death.
