Career

Mészáros followed his sister into gymnastics, and he was inspired by watching Krisztián Berki win Olympic gold in 2012. [3]

Mészáros finished eighth with the Hungarian team at the 2016 European Junior Championships. [4] At the 2017 European Youth Olympic Festival, he finished eighth in the floor exercise final and 24th in the all-around. [5] He then won three silver medals at the 2017 Olympic Hopes Cup- on floor exercise, pommel horse, and still rings. [6] He finished 14th in the all-around and seventh on the pommel horse at the 2018 European Junior Championships. [7] [8]

Mészáros began competing in senior international competitions in 2019. He competed at the 2019 European and 2019 World Championships but did not qualify for any finals. [9] [10] At the 2020 European Championships, he helped the Hungarian team win the bronze medal behind Ukraine and Turkey. [11] In the event finals, he finished sixth on floor exercise and pommel horse and fifth on parallel bars. [12]

Mészáros won his first FIG World Cup medal at the Osijek World Challenge Cup with a bronze on the pommel horse. [13] He then qualified for the all-around final at the 2021 World Championships- the first Hungarian gymnast to do so since 1999 - and finished 14th. [3]

Mészáros began the 2022 season at the Osijek World Challenge Cup, finishing eighth on floor exercise, fourth on pommel horse, and fifth on parallel bars. [14] Then at the Koper World Challenge Cup, he won the bronze medal on the pommel horse. [15] He helped the Hungarian team finished sixth at the 2022 European Championships, and he finished sixth in the all-around. [16] [17] In the floor exercise final, he won the silver medal behind the defending Olympic champion Artem Dolgopyat. [18] This marked the first time a Hungarian gymnast won a European silver medal on floor exercise, after Róbert Gál and György Guczoghy won bronze medals on the event. [19] At the Szombathely World Challenge Cup, Mészáros won his first FIG World Cup title on the horizontal bar. [20] Then at the World Championships, he once again finished 14th in the all-around final. [21]

Mészáros finished 17th in the all-around final and fifth in the horizontal bar final at the 2023 European Championships. [22] [23] He won four medals at the 2023 Tel Aviv World Challenge Cup- gold on floor exercise and floor and silver on pommel horse and parallel bars- making him the most decorated gymnast of the event. [24] Then at the Osijek World Challenge Cup, he won the bronze medal on floor exercise. [25] He then won three medals at the Szombathely World Challenge Cup- gold on floor exercise, silver on parallel bars, and bronze on horizontal bar. [26] At the end of the World Challenge Cup series, he was ranked first on parallel bars and top five on every event besides still rings. [27] Mészáros finished 18th all-around in the qualification round of the 2023 World Championships.
