Olympic and Paralympic athletes have successfully withstood trials of strength and character, and have become role models in the process, President Tamás Sulyok said on Thursday, handing over state awards to the athletes who participated in the 33rd Olympic and 17th Paralympic Games in Paris.
Sulyok said pride was achieved by the human greatness coming from fight and honour, everyday effort and human self-respect. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Speaker of Parliament László Kövér also attended the event. Here are some photos:
