Career
Darányi broke the world record in both-handed shot put (an event in which the shot was thrown with the right hand and separately with the left hand, and the best results for each hand were added together) on three occasions. Three months later he improved to 28.67 m (1543 m/1324 m). Darányi lost the record to Jack Torrance in 1934, but regained it the following year with a total of 29.46 m (1577 m/1369 m), his eventual best.
