Hungary has won more fencing medals than almost anyone else! They also do great in swimming and gymnastics.

A Long, Long Time Ago...

Hungary's Olympic journey started way back in 1896, the same year the first modern Olympics happened! They've been to almost every Summer Olympics since then, which is a super long time. They even have a special club called the Hungarian Olympic Committee that helps get their athletes ready. It's like a team manager for all the Hungarian Olympic stars!

Medals Galore!

Hungary has won over 500 medals at the Summer Olympics and a few more at the Winter Olympics. That's a LOT of medals! They are ranked 9th in the world for Summer Olympic medals. This means they are one of the top countries in the whole world for winning Olympic prizes. Imagine winning so many medals you need a giant shelf to display them all!
