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.

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.
