Hungarians won Olympic silver and bronze medals in kayak-canoe – PHOTOS

The Hungarian K-4 women’s team, which secured a bronze medal on Thursday, competed in the 500-metre K-2 canoe sprint with two canoes. Tamara Csipes and Alida Gazsó won silver, while the Noémi Pupp-Sára Fojt duo received bronze. Additionally, Bence Nádas and Sándor Tótka earned silver in the K-2 500 metres. Congratulations!

According to 444.hu, Noémi Pupp and Sára Fojt’s canoe finished the race alongside the German duo Paulina Paszek and Jule Hake. There was no distinguishing between Germany and the second Hungarian boat (1:39:46), resulting in both teams being awarded bronze medals.

“The world champions led from the start but were challenged by the Hungarian pair throughout the race. Ultimately, though, the Germans had enough left in the tank, and the pair added another gold to the one they won in the men’s four competition earlier this week”, olympics.com wrote.
