Hungarians sweeping medals!

A great performance by Hungarian swimmers at the 2012 European Aquatic Championship. Hungary placed first in the competition winning many medals. This could be a good sign as the Summer Olympics in London will start soon. Traditionally, Hungarians have always excelled at athletics and sports in general. Hungary has a strong history in swimming and pool sports. It is no surprise that they performed so well in front of a home crowd in Debrecen, Hungary. We wish all the Hungarian swimmers the best at the London Olympic Games this summer!
