Gábor Gergely (born 21 June 1953, in Budapest) is a former international table tennis player from Hungary.

Table tennis career

From 1974 to 1983 he won several medals in singles, doubles, and team events in the Table Tennis European Championships, including three medals with the Hungarian team in the World Table Tennis Championships.[1]

Material and playing style

Gergely plays a butterfly offensive wood with both sides 2,5 mm super river. He tries to attack close to the table and especially with the forehand hard topspins, but was also able to play successful from the half-distance with a lot of spin from both sides.

His four World Championship medals[2][3] included a gold medal in the doubles with István Jónyer at the 1975 World Table Tennis Championships and the team event at the 1979 World Table Tennis Championships.[4][5]
