He congratulated Emese Szász, who won Hungary’s first gold medal in fencing on the first day of the Games and the athlete’s trainer, former Olympic champion Győző Kulcsár.
Áder also congratulated Géza Imre who won Hungary’s first silver medal in fencing just before the ceremony.
The Hungarian president commended two other athletes who were unable to attend: swimmers Katinka Hosszú and Tamás Kenderesi.
