I have verified copying here from [1]. The page has moved, but there can be no doubt that they predated us, as they were cited. Cf. from the source:

Before joining Wayne, Benko had already participated in one Summer Olympics (1972 Munich) before Wayne State Athletic Hall of Fame member coach Istvan Danosi welcomed his first Australian recruit. Though a native of Australia, Benko's parents, Kathleen and Laszlo, are natives of Hungary. Both escaped from Hungary during World War II, and immigrated to Australia, where they married. Danosi, also of native of Hungary, first encountered Benko at the 1970 World Junior Championships in Madrid, in which Benko finished in the final six. Danosi approached Benko, questioned him about his Hungarian-sounding surname, and both struck an immediate friendship. During the championships, Danosi offered Benko a scholarship to Wayne State.

From the foundational edit of the article:

Don't know how extensive it may be or if other sources may be involved. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:59, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
