Ladislav Pataki
Ladislav Pataki (June 20, 1946 – April 5, 2007) was an American coach, sports scientist, and masters track and field thrower. He defected from Czechoslovakia in 1985 with his wife and daughter, settling in Los Gatos, California. He influenced the training of several world-class athletes living in the South Bay Area, where he continued his sports science career and developed nutritional supplements. As a masters competitor in track and field, he won several world championships and set world records in shot put and discus.〔Robert McG. Thomas Jr. (June 23, 1986). ( "SPORTS WORLD SPECIALS; Imagery in Motion: ), ''New York Times'', accessed April 11, 2007. When Ladislav Pataki sneaked out of a Rome hotel with his wife and daughter last July and sought asylum at the United States Embassy, the move boded well for American athletics. Pataki, a former discus and hammer-throw coach who, as a biomechanical specialist, had been coordinator of a Czechoslovak training-research project, was the highest-ranking Soviet-bloc sports scientist ever to defect to the West."〕
He had surgery for brain cancer in the Czech Republic in 2006, after declining chemotherapy. When the tumor could not be completely removed, he entered an assisted living residence in San Jose, California.〔(Elliott Almond, ''San Jose Mercury News,'' "Ladislav Pataki has brain cancer: A Valley Fixture Since Defection," February 13, 2007 ), accessed April 11, 2007〕 He died at age 60.
==Early life and education==
Pataki grew up in Nové Zámky, in the former Soviet-bloc state of Czechoslovakia.〔(Elliott Almond, ''San Jose Mercury News,'' "Renowned throwing specialist Pataki to be memorialized," April 10, 2007 ), accessed April 11, 2007〕 Nové Zámky is located in the Nitra Region in the southwest of modern Slovakia. According to his resumes, Pataki was the 1964 Czechoslovak Junior Champion and record holder in shot put. After competing in sports internationally as a youth, he earned two Doctorate of Research degrees from Comenius University in Bratislava, with a 1971 thesis in kinesiology and a 1977 thesis in sport science.〔("Who is Ladislav Pataki?" ) (resume with links to a longer autobiography), accessed April 12, 2007〕
