a Hungarian name

[Trotter, Veronika]

Dear Liv,

In fact, his last name is Hegyi, and Gyula is the first name. The 
confusion arises because Hungarians always write a surname first and 
the given name afterwards. The two could be mixed up in translation, 
since Gyula is a possible surname too. So in Russian he has to be 
Д(ь)юла Хеди (I’m not sure if you can read my Cyrillic, in Russian it 
has to be only one “l”, two “l”s is incorrect transliteration and the 
soft sign can be omitted).
I don’t know if you read Hungarian, but here is the link to a Wikipedia 
entry about him: 
http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegyi_Gyula_(sportvezet%C5%91).

Hope it helps,
Veronika Trotter,
