Rio2016: The summary of two phenomenal weeks for Hungary

So the Rio Olympic Games came to end last Sunday. It was an eventful and quite successful Games for the Hungarian Olympic Team. In honour of the (h)unbelievable #teamHUN, let’s now summarise our results and take a look at the illustrious rankings Hungary has at aggregated medal tables.

According to the record of the Hungarian Olympic Committee, Hungary had won 168 gold, 148 silver and 170 bronze medals before Rio2016, out of which only two silvers and four bronze medals can be connected to Winter Olympic Games. We had high hopes after the magical results in London and these hopes weren’t for nothing: the Hungarian team came home from Rio with 8 gold, 3 silver and 4 bronze medals, which add up to a total of 176 gold, 149 silver and 170 bronze all-time Olympic medals.
