About Tamás Kiss
Tamás Kiss (born 9 May 1987 in Ajka) is a Hungarian sprint canoer and marathon canoeist who has competed since the late 2000s.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, he won a bronze medal in the C-2 1000 m event with teammate György Kozmann. Kiss was a last-minute replacement in the Hungarian team for the 2008 Olympics after the death of two-time Olympic champion György Kolonics.
He teamed up with Kolonics's former partner György Kozmann a mere one month before the games, and in Beijing, exceeding expectations, the pair finished in third place in the C-2 1000 m final.
