Zoltán Szilágyi (born 21 June 1967 in Budapest) is a former freestyle swimmer from Hungary, who competed in the 1988, 1992, 2000 Summer Olympics. His daughter, Liliána Szilágyi is also a professional swimmer, specializing in butterfly events. In December 2021, his daughter accused him of abusing her mentally, physically and sexually since she was a young child.[1] In a subsequent statement, he denied the accusations, and threatened to sue his daughter.[2] The Hungarian Swimming Association also released a statement and promised to launch an investigation into the matter.[3]
