On October 4 (Friday), the FINA Swimming World Cup started in the Hungarian capital with Hungarian and international swimmers from all across the globe. The spectacular event was held in the Danube Arena and lasted till Sunday (October 6). Hungarian swimmers left the pool with excellent results and many medals.

DAY 1 – October 4

The opening day of the world cup series was golden as nine Hungarian gold medals were born on this day. In 200 meters butterfly, Katinka Hosszú won, and Zsuzsanna Jakabos became second behind Hosszú in the same category. Alongside these excellent Hungarian sportswomen, Boglárka Kapás was in the same pool with Jakabos and Hosszú and became fourth during the competition.

“I wanted to swim a very good last 50 meters, but I still feel that energy was left in me after the swimming ended. Practically, this was the first final of the season.” – stated Hosszú, who is not planning to jump in the pool in this category in Tokyo as it would be too close to the 200 meters medley.
