for boys' schools in the county, which later turned into a traditional contest. In 1913 Mudin relocated from Nagyatád to Kaposvár where he taught in the local school that today bears the name of Dániel Berzsenyi. He joined World War I a year later. Death and legacy Mudin was assigned to the 101st Infantry Regiment of the Austro-Hungarian Army in sub-lieutenant rank. He began active service on 11 August 1914. For his commitments on the battlefield he was awarded the Silver Medal of Bravery 1st Class in 1915. He did not cease practising athletics while in the army, and in 1916 and 1917 he got permission to leave for the period of the Hungarian Athletics Championships, winning a treble in 1916 (discus throw, javelin throw, shot put) and a double in the following year (javelin throw, shot put). In May 1918 Mudin was promoted to first lieutenant. He died on 23 October 1918 in the battle of Monte Grappa. He was shot by a marksman while retreating and fell into an abyss. Mudin's body was not found and was declared missing. Mudin left behind a widow, Melina Pavlovlits, an opera singer. The two married in 1915 and had no children. Pavlovits never married again and died in Budapest in 1991. Today the stadium of Nagyatád bears the name of Imre Mudin, and the sports hall of Kétegyháza was named in the honor of the Mudin brothers and known as Mudin Sports Hall since 2008.
