Adalbert Agh has competed for Romania

Adalbert Agh is a rower who has competed for Romania. He competed at the 1972 Summer Olympic Games.

He competed in the men's coxless fours rowing competition in Munich in 1972, in which he took the second seat of the Romanian team, behind Emerich Tusa. In the first of four preliminary heats, the boat had a quick start, leading by over two seconds after 500 metres over the Canadian, and extending this lead to about 4 seconds halfway through the race. The Romanian boat went through to the semifinals after finishing first in the race with a four-second lead over the Norwegian boat. The semifinal was less dominant, with the Soviet boat taking the lead at the start. Agh and his team quickly restored order by finishing over three seconds ahead of Denmark and the Soviet Union to go through to the final of the coxless fours event. The final was less fortunate with a bad start, with the Romanian boat taking up last place of six until halfway, almost four seconds behind the podium. They were able to catch up to Denmark, whom they also beat in the semifinals, to finish the competition on place, seven seconds behind the German bronze medalists, but ahead of Denmark.
