Agnes Simon (née Almási; 21 June 1935 – 19 August 2020[1]) was an international table tennis player from Hungary.

Personal life

After the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, she fled to Sweden to seek political asylum, together with her husband and coach Béla Simon.[2][3] They were accepted in the Netherlands and then in West Germany; thus Simon competed for the Netherlands in 1959–1960 and for West Germany since 1962.

Table tennis career

From 1953 to 1976, she won several medals in singles, doubles, and team events in the Table Tennis European Championships and in the World Table Tennis Championships.[4]

Her three World Championship medals[5][6] included a gold medal in the doubles at the 1957 World Table Tennis Championships with Lívia Mossóczy.[7][8]

She also won three English Open titles.
