The Hungarian Swimming Association has revealed its 22-strong lineup of athletes set to represent the nation at this year’s European Short Course Championships.
12 women and 9 men comprise the roster headed to Lublin, Poland this December, with representatives primarily determined at the recently concluded Hungarian Short Course Championships.
Mainstays David Betlehem, Balazs Hollo, Nandor Nemeth and Zalan Sarkany are among the men named to the roster, with Adam Jaszo holding the most individual events.
19-year-old Laura Zsebok headlines the women’s roster, with the teen having earned a quartet of medals in Debrecen.
Missing from the roster are Olympic champions Kristof Milak and Hubi Kos. The former has reportedly not been in the water since having withdrawn from the World Championships, while the latter will remain in the United States at the University of Texas.
Hungary finished 12th in the overall swimming medal table at the last edition of the European Short Course Championships. There in Otopeni, Romania, the nation collected 5 medals, including 2 silver and 3 bronze.
Szebasztian Szabo secured silver in the men’s 50m free and 50m fly as Richard Marton grabbed bronze in the men’s 200m fly. Ajna Kesely bagged bronze in both the women’s 800m and 1500m free events.
