Titles on the record (14)

Each read off a results document the archive holds: a result sheet, or, for a season's title, the body's own champions grid or season table, with the name as that document prints it.

Results

Likely

The federation's season lists print the name Szabó László, a common name, with no other identifier. Its own table of champions by title count, in section 12 of the book, prints the name with 14 titles, which agrees with the 14 first places counted from the season lists in section 11 (X-2 seven and free style seven, recounted on 2026-10-07), and its X-2 and Free Style medal tables give 7 first, none second and 1 third place, and 7, 1 and none, which agree with the same lists. Reading every row as one rider rests on the name, the two classes and that agreement, and is the archive's inference.

1997 and 2004 · Likely

The same lists print him third in X-2 in 1997 and second in FREESTYLE in 2004. Reading these rows as one rider rests on the inference stated in the first claim.

Sources: Hungarian national book 2006; Hungarian national book 2005

Likely

In 1996 the same lists print the name fifth in FREESTYLE and seventh in X-2, the earliest rows of the name in those two classes, and also seventh in SPORT LIMITED and eighth in SPORT MODIFIED, which are not used. The federation's tally counts first places only, so nothing but the name and the two classes ties the 1996 FREESTYLE and X-2 rows to the rider above, and the archive's reading of them as him is an inference from the name.

1997 · Likely

The federation's table of its riders' results at European and world events lists him eighth in Freestyle at the 1996 EJSBA European Championship and fourth in Free-Style at the 1997 UIM World Championship, and its 2005 and 2006 forewords also give the 1997 place, in the free-style category. The 1996 row rests on the same name-and-class reading as the previous claim, so only 1997 is dated.

Recognition

Confirmed

The federation's list of perpetual Hungarian champions (örökös magyar bajnok), in its 2005 and 2006 books, prints his name with two other names. Neither book says how the title is earned (searched the held Hungarian federation texts for the term, 2026-10-07).

What the archive has not read (3)

• The federation's season lists print the first ten places of each class and fewer in a small class, so no place below tenth is held for any season from 1992 to 2005 (read 2026-10-07).
• The last season list that prints him is 2004, and no held result sheet or result list places him in a race after that (searched the archive's mirror and the research cache, 2026-10-07). The 2005 book's register of start numbers prints a Szabó László against H1 of its Ski and X2 category, but the name is in no 2005 result list held, so the register is not used to date his activity.
• The 2005 book's list of members of its sports disciplinary committee prints a Szabó László; nothing held ties that entry to the rider, and it is not used (checked 2026-10-07).

Documents cited on this page

• Hungarian national book 2006 (web.archive.org): MJSZ 2006 rule book, part IV, the Hungarian national book (championship results 1992 to 2005 and European and world placings 1994 to 2005), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2006; sanctioning body, high. The federation's own book of national rules and results, in Hungarian, read from the extract held here. Section 11 prints the first ten places of each class, and fewer in a small class, in every season of the national championship from 1992 to 2005; section 12 its medal tables, a table of champions by title count, the list of perpetual Hungarian champions and the four riders honoured in 2002; section 13 the placings of its riders at European and world championships from 1994 to 2005; section 1 its officers and section 2 its member bodies with their representatives. High for the federation's own championship lists and tables, which are its own results. Section 13 reports events other bodies ran and no sheet of those events is held, so a claim that rests only on section 13 is marked likely. Names print family name first. The extract sets two class lists side by side and prints some Hungarian letters as substitute characters, so a name's class is read from its column, checked against the 2005 edition's tab-separated lists. The book also prints phone numbers, addresses and company registration numbers, none of which is copied.
• Hungarian national book 2005 (web.archive.org): MJSZ 2005 rule book, part IV, the Hungarian national book (championship results 1992 to 2004 and European and world placings 1994 to 2004), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2005; sanctioning body, high. The previous year's edition of the same book, captured as RTF on 1 March 2006 and read from the extract held here. Its section 11 covers the championship from 1992 to 2004, in tab-separated two-column lists that show which class each name sits under, which the 2006 edition's extract does not always do. It is the same body's book, so the two editions are not independent of each other. For the five riders read from both editions (checked 2026-10-07) every place in every list from 1992 to 2004 is the same in the same order; the one difference is that its 2003 and 2004 Runabout lists are headed 1100 and 1600 where the 2006 edition prints 800 and 1200. The same extract prints phone numbers and registration numbers, which are not copied.
• Hungarian federation 2005 foreword (web.archive.org): MJSZ 2005 rule book, part I, foreword (the Hungarian affiliate's own account of its history and of the EJSBA), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2005; sanctioning body, medium. A national affiliate's foreword, in Hungarian, read from the copy held here. It dates the federation to 12 November 1992, says Hungarian racing ran from 1991 under UIM-derived rules, and says that in January 1993 Hungary and five other countries formed the IJSBA's European committee, the EJSBA; it also says the two world federations reached no agreement on rules or race organisation. Medium because it is one affiliate's own account, single-sourced, and its signatories are not copied.
• Hungarian federation 2006 foreword (web.archive.org): MJSZ 2006 rule book, part I, foreword (the Hungarian affiliate's own account of its history and results to 2005), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2006; sanctioning body, medium. The 2006 edition of the foreword whose 2005 edition is also held, and longer than that one. It repeats the 2005 text on the federation's founding and its riders' European and world results, and adds the federation's hosting of European rounds from 1996 to 2003, the 2004 election of its president to the UIM's aquabike board, and the 2005 world and European medals. It is signed with three names and titles. Medium because it is the federation's own account, single-sourced, and the same body as the 2005 foreword, so the two are not independent. The signatories' contact details are not in the text.
