Around 370 Hungarians sportspeople are expected to be allocated places for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, the state secretary for sport said on Thursday.
Ádám Schmidt told a professional conference focusing on the achievements of Hungarian sports in 2024 that the 19 medals received by Hungarians in the Paris Olympics could be considered a success, though European Olympic achievements had been “going in the wrong direction and we would like to stop and reverse that trend in relation to Hungary”.
Schmidt noted a new sports support system in Hungary, with Olympics sports grouped into five categories, and there is closer cooperation with the university of physical education. He added that under a programme dubbed LA10, Hungary aims for 10 golds or to be among the top 10 nations in terms of gold medals.
