Budapest (MTI) – Hungary’s swimming sensation Katinka Hosszú is set to be nominated for honorary citizen of the city of Baja in southern Hungary, according to the city’s website.
The 27-year-old Hosszú, who has won three gold medals in four days at the Rio Summer Olympics, is being nominated for the award by Baja Mayor Róbert Fercsák (Fidesz) and farm ministry state secretary Róbert Zsigó, who is also an MP for the city.
