József Hunics (March 10, 1936 – July 27, 2012) was a Hungarian sprint canoer who competed in the late 1950s. He won a bronze medal in the C-2 10000 m event at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne. His pairing with Imre Farkas led to two national championships in 1956 and 1957. He later teamed up with Gyula Dömötör and they won gold in the one kilometer and silver in the ten thousand meters events at the 1959 Canoe Sprint European Championships.[1] Hunics was forced to retire in 1960 due to health issues at the age of 24. He later became a coach in kayak-canoeing and sport shooting. He died on July 27, 2012.[2][3][4]
