The London 2012 Summer Olympic Games has been the most successful Olympics for Hungary in 20 years! Hungary placed 9th place at London 2012. This is the first time that Hungary has come in the top ten since the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. The Hungarian Olympic Team won a total of eight gold, four silver and five bronze medals at the London Olympics.
In Beijing in 2008, Hungary finished in 21st place, and 13th place at both the Athens (2004) and Sydney (2000) games. The president of the Hungarian Olympic Committee, Zsolt Borkai, said that the Hungarian performance at the 2012 games had been a real success. Overall, Hungary won at total of 17 medals at the London games.
Taking Hungary's population and national wealth into account, Hungary was the most successful nation in Europe at the 2012 games! Only New Zealand and a few Caribbean island states performed better in this type of ranking. Both Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and President János Áder congratulated all the Hungarian Olympic Team members and expressed their appreciation of the Hungarian Olympic Team's achievements at the games. An official ceremony in honour of the nation's Olympic athletes will take place on August the 20th, which is Hungary's most important national holiday.
