Memorial Wall of Olympic Champions

In July 2024, the Memorial Wall of Olympic Champions was unveiled at Farkasréti Cemetery in Budapest honouring 172 deceased Olympic champions. Construction posed significant challenges as the formwork and casting of the white cladding panels and cover elements necessitated major geometric work. Thus, Rohoznik White cement (CEM I 52.5 N) was chosen by VPI Concrete. 

The project was commissioned by the Hungarian Olympic Committee. The names of the champions were etched into the concrete by VPI, including shooter László Hammerl, who passed away shortly before the opening ceremony.
