Lily Kronberger (12 November 1890 – 21 May 1974),[1][2] also spelled Lili Kronberger, was a Hungarian figure skater competitive during the early years of modern figure skating. She was Hungary’s first World Champion.
Early life
Kronberger was born in Budapest in 1890[1][3] as the youngest child and only daughter of Miksa Kronberger (1857-1902), a lumber merchant, and Janka Kreisler (1867-1927).
Career
Kronberger won a World bronze medal in 1906, at the first official World Championships to include a ladies' event.
She won bronze again in 1907, and four gold medals from 1908 to 1911.[4]" She was the first athlete to win a world championship gold for Hungary.
At the 1911 championship in Vienna, she caused a stir by bringing a military band along to play during her free skating program,[5][6] which included a "clear interpretation"[7] of the music she used, even though the use of music during international figure skatine competitions was rare at the time.[7]
Later in 1911, she married Imre Szent-Györgyi[3] and retired from competition, handing the baton over to Opika Méray Horváth.
She died in Budapest in 1974, at the age of 83.[2]
Halls of Fame
Kronberger, who was Jewish, was inducted into the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1983.[4]
She was inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 1997.
