Košice, Humenné (23.03.2016) An exhibition opening dedicated to World Champion Jozef Lohyňa was held yesterday at the Coop World Art Gallery in Humenné. In addition to the displayed albums, photographs, badges, numerous commemorative cards, trophies, and medals from the most significant sporting events, we were able to hear from the champion a review of his sports career after the presentation. Of course, the coaches, who were an integral part of Jozef's sports career, Mikuláš Timko and his brother Ľubo Lohyňa, were also significant figures. Only one of them, M. Timko, came to personally thank him. He did not hide his enthusiasm and joy that after so many years they received recognition in this form as well. A successful event, signed by people (especially František Jakub and the painter Ján Gerboc) who appreciate a person and managed to dust off the faded glory, for Slovakia, of such a significant sports personality as Jozef! Anyone who is even a little bit of an athlete and a wrestler at heart must know what an honor it is... At the end, there was a book signing of J. Lohyňa's book, which was recently published with the title, "Kráľ Krstačky" (King of the Crossface). ah
