Is Hungary the most successful swimming nation, counting medals per capita (in relation to the population)? The Swimming History of this country is as impressive as the actual shape from many hungarian swimmers. Krisztina Egerszegi, Tamas Darny, Attila Czene, Agnes Kovacs, Josef Szabo, Norbert Rosza to name just the Olympic Champions since 1988.
To the picture Jeff, it was Kapas’s third individual gold. She won gold in the 800 relay too.
Thanks.
