Hungarian Fencer Aida Mohamed Writes Olympics History
The Hungarian Fencing Federation (MVSZ) finished assembling Hungary’s Tokyo Olympics team on Tuesday evening. This year has a very promising line-up, since not only will Áron Szilágyi be returning for his fourth, Aida Mohamed will be competing in her seventh Olympics.
Hungary has a longstanding tradition of winning the fencing competitions of the Olympics. Accounting for all the medals won between the 1896 and 2016 Olympics, we stand in third place in the world with a total of 87, behind Italy and France. This is also the greatest number of medals Hungary has out of all the sports it takes part in, followed by swimming and canoeing.
