Miraculously, the 19-year-old swimmer could finish 5th in the women’s 10km marathon swim in the Seine at the Paris Olympic Games today. Afterwards, Bettina Fábián disinfected with pálinka, the traditional Hungarian spirit. Have you ever tasted pálinka?
The Hungarian swimmer prepared in the River Danube
Bettina Fábián did not swim yesterday in the Seine because she did not want to risk an infection in the polluted water. French authorities said yesterday that the bacteria level of the river decreased below the limit.
Betti said before her swimming that her training was successful, but she was afraid of the Seine, the currents in the river, etc.
She said the water was not as dirty as she thought, and currents made swimming hard. Downstream times were around 7.5 minutes, while upstream increased to 13.5 minutes.

Swimmers needed to complete six rounds, and since Betti trained in the Danube, turns were better for her than for the others. Therefore, she could advance in each turn. Moreover, she stored her energy better, so in the end, she could finish in the 5th position.
Hungarian palinka should be sold in pharmacies all over the world if it saves the swimmer from infection. Well done.
Hate pa’linka. Bet it would clear up even toenail fungus since when it worked its way thru people’s systems all bacteria would abandone ‘ship’ or die.
