Career
At the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City Balogh competed in the 100 metres, 200 metres and the 4 × 100 metres relay,[1] only qualifying from the first round in the 100 metres, in which she was eliminated in the second round.[1]
Balogh also competed in the 1969 European Championships in Athens without much more success,[2] but two years later in Helsinki she won the silver at 200 metres, running 23.26 and losing only to East Germany's Renate Stecher.[3] In addition, she placed fifth in both the 100 metres and the 4 × 100 metres relay.[2]
She returned to the Olympics in 1972 Summer Olympics, this time running the 400 metres.[1] She led the quarter-finals with a time of 51.71, which was her personal best and briefly an Olympic record.[1] In the semi-finals she ran 51.90 and qualified for the final, in which she placed eighth and last in 52.39; her quarter-final time would have been enough.for fourth place.[1]
Representing the Budapest club Vasas SC, Balogh won Hungarian championships in the 100 m (1968, 1971 and 1972), 200 m (1968–1972), 400 m (1971 and 1972), 4 × 100 m (1969–1972 and 1975), 4 × 200 m (1969–1971 and 1975), 4 × 400 m (1970–1972 and 1975) and 80 m hurdles (1968).[4] As of 2014[update], her personal best in the 200 metres (22.8 from 1971) is still the Hungarian record.[5]
