Index – Sport – The summer Budapest World Cup in Istanbul was a theme throughout

We don’t have to be ashamed of the Hungarian results

Miklós Gyulai, president of the Hungarian Athletics Association, told atletika.hu. 16 Hungarian competitors took part in the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul, three of them reached the finals. Krizsan Xenia fifth in five trials, Anita Martin sixth in shot put, Greta Kekeres He was seventh in the 60 hurdles.

The 16 people who qualified are commendable in themselves. We are not a big indoor nation, so this number is considered particularly good. I saw that everyone was trying to do their best. The professional programs that have been started and are ongoing constantly “bring out” young athletes. The routine then brought three final positions

Miklós Gyulai evaluated atletika.hu.

According to sports professional director Géza Scheidler, there were no big Hungarian surprises, since the form timing was not planned for this event. The goal is that everyone who started in Istanbul in Hungarian colors will also be there at the 2023 World Championship, which will be held in Hungary. Gyulai noted:

Anyone I talked to, the summer World Cup was always mentioned. We will surely be able to host a great world competition this time, in keeping with our organizing traditions.
