Hungary is traditionally a strong competitor in summer Olympic games. For a small country, Hungary excels at multiple sports. Its greatest accomplishments have come in fencing, which enjoys a long tradition in Hungary. For a long time, the country was also dominant in water polo, and routinely offers winning swimmers and canoers. The country even competed in the inaugural 1896 Games and has sent athletes to most Olympics since.
According to Wikipedia, “Hungary has won more Olympic medals than any other existing nation that has never hosted the Games and has the second highest all time number of gold medals per capita of any nation behind only Finland.”
That’s a pretty big accomplishment. While it’s been some time since Budapest learned it didn’t make the final round to host the 2024 Olympics, that’s no reason not to continue to promote the Olympic bid video, which showcases so many great aspects of life and culture in Budapest. The video doesn’t directly promote the sports Hungary is good at, but rather the culture of Budapest, which is active and textured. Here you have street ballerinas, restaurant scenes, and if cafe culture were an Olympic sport, for sure we would win the gold.
So despite not bringing home the 2024 games to Budapest, it’s fair to say the video brings glory to the city. Enjoy below, with a groovy soundtrack by Hungarian pop band Mary PopKids.
