We collected some short news from Hungary. Foreigners, chiefly Russians represent Hungary in the ongoing junior figure skating championships in Canada. Historic Kinizsi Fort reopens for visitors (VIDEO, PHOTOS), details about Pope Francis’ visit to Hungary, Hungarian tourist stabbed in Italy. And finally, the famous dance of Wednesday Addams, done by the spokesman of the Hungarian Ambulance Services with a trick.

Russian skaters dominate Hungarian team

According to Mandiner, no Hungarian-born members are in the Hungarian team in the ongoing European Figure Skating Championships 2023 in Calgary, Canada. The Hungarian figure skating lost two Olympians, the Liu brothers, in 2022. Now they replaced the Hungarian athletes with Russian ones in the junior team. Therefore, Hungarians try to get into the national teams of other countries. And those, who cannot, finish their career.

The mother of the Hungarian figure skater, József Mózes Berei, Tünde Zsuffa, wrote all these to the Hungarian Skating Federation (MOKSZ). She said that the Hungarian team consists of four members. Three were born in Russia, one of them has Hungarian citizenship. Meanwhile, the fourth one was born in France. Mrs Zsuffa suggests in her letter that the Vardanjan-Ipakjan-Sebestyén leadership of the Hungarian association favour Russian skaters.
