Ceremonial Reception for Hungary's Olympic Athletes

The Hungarian athletes, medalists and medal winners of the Tokyo Olympics were welcomed by officials and fans at the BOK Hall in Budapest on Monday.

At the ceremony, which was attended by hundreds of supporters, the President of the Hungarian Olympic Committee, Krisztián Kulcsár, underlined that "the Hungarian Olympians are now being welcomed with the same love as they strived to please everyone in the country in Tokyo. It was good to be Hungarian in Tokyo! Thank you to the athletes, their coaches, the departments, the clubs, the family members, the fans and the Hungarian government."

Films were shown of the medallists and runners-up - as well as those finishing 4th, 5th and 6th - and each of them was greeted on stage.

Hungarian athletes won six gold, seven silver and seven bronze medals at the Tokyo Olympics, which closed on Sunday. The final group of the delegation arrived home on Monday, transported by four buses from Liszt Ferenc Airport to the ceremony in the BOK Hall.
