I have always think that Budapest with an LGBT-friendly city.

Well this is political posturing by a newspaper (which started to become politicized in the last x years therefore I stopped reading it completely)

At least 2 TV channels (among the one which deal with politics most or part of the time, not considering like thematic channels), a couple of newspapers (honestly few people read newspapers in physical form any more) and a good part of online media (like half?)

By the way, apart from the public television, even media friendly to the gov is owned by businessmen close to the gov and not the state itself.
But I am not a big consumer of :HUN media (for example on TV I only watch sports and NatGeo etc.)

Guys, are there any official statement by your NOC regarding this case? 

What I read online: Hungarian boxing fed will protest to the Hungarian Olympic Committee and IOC for the participation of the Algerian athlete and try to make a legal challenge thereto. Even if it is not possible or not successful, the :HUN athlete will do the match.

This was said by the :HUN boxer herself to , e.g. M4 Sport of :HUN and BBC Radio Sport.

Me too. In the past you would find out about the results of the games from printed newspapers + possibly teletext. Now everything is on the internet. About 20 years ago, when I was traveling with my father around Europe in the summer, in almost every country I would buy the local sport newspaper to read about the results. Well, maybe not in Hungary, because you have a very difficult language :P

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
