The President of the Hungarian Olympic Committee, Zsolt Borkai says the target to be achieved by Hungarian participants, whose number is estimated to be 140 athletes, at the Summer Olympic Gamesin in London in 2012 is ten medals, including three gold.
Speaking before the Sports and Tourism Committee of Hungarian Parliament, Zsolt Borkai reminded his audience that 79 Hungarians obtained Olympic quota in ten sports and another 100 athletes would qualify themselves if all things go well.
"We believe that a group of 140 athletes is likely to form the Hungarian team. Although, the overall number of athletes has fallen, the high-standard professional work in the different clubs guarantee the good results," he said. He added that the target to be achieved by the Hungarian participants is ten medals, including three gold.
Zsolt Borkai also pointed out that the Hungarian Olympic Committee considers clean participation by Hungarian athletes important. Therefore, over 900 doping tests were carried out and next year, each Hungarian Olympic participant will be tested at least three times.
