- sport
By Ferenc Kumin: Two weeks ago, when Hungary won its bid for the 2021 World Aquatics Championships, I mentioned that we are truly a watersport nation. At that time, the 2013 Barcelona World Aquatics Championships had just begun, so it was too early to include the many results we can now be so proud of. In Barcelona, Hungary came in at an impressive fifth place on the medal rankings, with four ...

Formula 1, Budapest Hungaroring, 26 - 28 July
- 15 Jul 2013 9:00 AM
- sport
The first thing to say about the Hungaroring, is that it can be phenomenally dull; at least it could be up until last year. For most of its 25+ year history on the F1 calendar, the tight and twisting bowl-shaped track on the outskirts of Budapest came with the reputation of regularly hosting complete snoozefests. As for the circuit itself, it’s more like a go-kart track than anything else. ...

Xpat Report: 2012 Summer Olympics
- 25 Jul 2012 9:00 AM
- sport
With the Summer Olympics in London almost upon us, I have been trying to remember anything from past events. I would like to think that the first Olympics I remember was 1972 when swimmer Mark Spitz won 7 gold medals. However, I am probably confabulating this since I was about 5 years old and do not remember anything about the tragedy in Munich. Olga Korbut, who my dad had a massive crush on, ...

When was the last time you heard that or thought it yourself? I hear it very often these days, I train regularly and eat right and still think this! I believe it has been instilled into our minds throughout time that summer means getting slimmer and in shape.
