Hungary collects four world titles in aquatics

Hungary's Katinka Hosszú won her second world title at the World Aquatics Championships in Barcelona, Spain this Sunday by beating the field in the women's 400-meter individual medley. On Saturday, Hungary won a gold in men's waterpolo. Earlier in the week, Hosszú won the 200-meter individual medley while reigning Olympic champion Dániel Gyurta defended his title in the men's 200-meter breaststroke event.

Hosszú, who also won a bronze in the 200-meter butterfly event, said she was extremely tiired after the 400-meter medley. "I was afraid I would not be able to reach the wall at the end. What drove me was that as soon as I touch the wall, the championship is over. I'm very satisfied with these three medals."

Saturday night, the Hungarian men's waterpolo national team beat Montenegro 8-7 to regain the world title after ten years. The Hungarian side coached by Tibor Benedek, controlled the game all the way through ands scored a deserved victory.

Also winning medals for Hungary at this event were László Cseh (silver in the men's 100-meter butterfly) and the women's national waterpolo team.
