Hungarian Conservative

Hungary was represented by 178 athletes across 20 sports, where they won a total of 19 medals—6 gold, 7 silver, and 6 bronze—securing the 14th position in the medal table. This placed Hungary ahead of larger nations such as Brazil, with a population of 205 million, and Spain, with 48.7 million. Hungary’s dominance in the region was also evident, with the other best-performing nation in East-Central Europe, Romania, finished 23rd.

Hungary’s impressive medal haul, including three medals in swimming, three in fencing, one in shooting, and one in athletics, currently places the nation 12th in the Olympic medal table.

Kós became the second Hungarian male swimmer to win this event at the Olympics, following Sándor Wladár, the current president of the Hungarian Swimming Federation. This victory marked Hungary’s 30th Olympic gold in swimming, and the first Hungarian gold medal in Paris.

Public M4 Sport will start televising the Olympics next Wednesday afternoon, covering the first matches of the football tournament, then broadcasting the Hungarian women’s handball team’s first game the following day.
