Meh, it's impossible to casually follow swimming. I think back then he medaled in the 200 free ... Also if there has been any suspicious performance so far, it was the Hungarian girl in the 400 IM improving her PB by ten minutes ...

Bronze at best at the Olympics? You think all the other guys focused on the European championships instead of the Olympics?

Probability i made a wrong translation, but (as all Italian team) they're working for have the best physical condition in Tokyo and not here.

Vektor 3,195 Posted May 17, 2021 #35 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I guess our issues are temporally solved in 400m IM, Hosszú is finally showing signs that she might be able to win in Tokyo and Mihályvári had a crazy new PB here, she's our future in this event.

Also there is a new wonderkid in the 400 IM every year, odds are that she will never again go faster than today.

I can't remember a single Hungarian swimmer in IM who showed this kind of promise and then never broke their PB that they set at 17. This kind of career mismanagement is extremely rare for us.

OlympicsFan 781 Posted May 17, 2021 #39 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Really worrying that LEN can’t afford a commentator who is at least remotely competent/fluent in English. Also not sure why Hungary is hosting 99 % of all swimming competitions those last 24 months, considering that supposedly swimming doesn’t matter to their dictator ...

Eva Risztov PB at 16 Krisztina Egerszegi PB at 17 Reka Gyorgy PB at 19 Eszter Szabo-Feltothy PB at 17 Just to name a few ... Also tons of examples on the men’s side (although not at 17, because men are usually about two years later in their development): Marton Barta PB at 17 Zoltan Drigan PB at 18 Attila Czene PB at 18 Norbert Szabo PB at 17 David Foldhazi PB at 18 Just to name a few ... Also Szilagyi hasn’t improved since 2014, Kesely hasn’t improved in the 200 free since 2017 (when she was 15) and Zombori also hasn’t improved the last 2 years (just another few examples off the top of my head).
