After putting it out in the ether in Carmel that he wanted to break the 100 and 200 SCM Backstroke world records at some point, Hubi Kos came to Toronto 2 weeks later and did just that. Kos may have even surprised himself with his performances, shattering both records and completing his perfect run with 9 out of 9 victories across the World Cup in backstroke. The Hungarian is now the fastest ever in the 100 and 200 back in both SCY and SCM.

He sounds so American when he talks .. I’d never figure him to be Hungarian at all
His dad grew up in Ireland and he attended a bilingual American school in Hungary, so lots of exposure to native English speakers.
There’s a really good reddit thread about Irish-heritage people representing other countries: https://www.reddit.com/r/ireland/comments/1eiza5n/the_olympic_medal_table_if_everyone_with_an_irish/
Hubi does not talk a lot.
Hubi gets the job done
I think he’s starting to talk a little more than before and I think it’s because his confidence is just growing at a fast rate
He is quite humble. Sometimes I feel like more so than he should be.
