It seems we got a LOT of wildcards, there will be Hungarians in almost all the events.

 

Huge Hungarian team, by far the largest ever. 63 athletes. There will be two events with 3-3 Hungarian athletes: Men's Hammer Throw and Women's 100m hurdles

 

Nice to see the relays getting a wild-card, especially the women.

This is a 28 member squad with 5 who qualified not there ( 2 injured and 3 preferring to focus on asian games and opting out ) .....

 

This is our biggest squad ever .... ( Narrowly crossing the  25 at London 2017 ) .....

 

This is our best squad ever .... 

( 3serious medal contenders .... Javelin - neeraj ( world no 3 in season world leading  )  , long jump - murali and Aldrin ( 1,2 in world leading times)  and one long shot in Praveen at Triple- ( 5th in world leading times) ..... The rest may hope for PB or final appearance
