Zsolt Bíber (born May 31, 1976 in Szolnok) is a retired Hungarian shot putter.[1] He represented his nation Hungary at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and also set his own personal best of 20.55 metres at the 2004 Hungary LG Cup in Debrecen.[2] Throughout his athletic career, Biber trained as a full-fledged member of the track and field team for Újpesti Gym Club (Hungarian: Újpesti Torna Egylet, UTE) under his personal coach and father Pál Bíber.[3]
Biber qualified for the Hungarian squad in the men's shot put at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by scoring his entry mark of 20.55 metres from the LG Cup in Debrecen.[2] Biber launched a 19.31-metre shot on his first attempt in the qualifying round, but his satisfying effort fell short to put him further to the final, placing twenty-fourth in the overall standings.[4][5]
