In the film the main character, the guy who gets punched in the polo match at the end, is called Karcsi Szabó. Yet on wikipedia it says Ervin Zador was the guy who got hit;
Hungarian player Ervin Zádor emerged during the last two minutes with blood pouring from under his eye after being punched by a Soviet player
Anyone know the reason for the name changes?

Karcsi Szabó is a fictional character (like all the main cast, except the historical figures) and elements of real persons' life and events were used to create fiction.
shareIt's not a documentary. All the lead characters are fictional, as are their back stories, placed against the historical contexts of the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and the famous "Blood in the Water" match.🐭
