Today Hungarians woke up and found that it is a very successful Olympic day (literally, as most of the competitions in Tokyo take place at dawn according to Hungarian time). The Hungarian team has won 4 new medals, and during the day, there will be more medals in wrestling.

According to M4Sport, the main events took place at the kayak-canoe races, where the Hungarian units won a total of three medals. Bálint Kopasz won a gold medal and Ádám Varga a silver medal in K-1 1000 meters. In the final, the defending World and European Champion Kopasz led and achieved a superior victory for most of the distance. The Olympic newbie Varga grabbed second place after a tight finish.

The Danuta Kozák and Dóra Bodonyi duo won a bronze medal in K-2 500 meters, while the other Hungarian unit, Tamara Csipes and Erika Medveczky, finished fourth place.  This is Kozák’s first Olympic bronze medal after five gold and one silver.
