Hungarian supporters have ...
Xpat Opinion: The Right & The Left On Hungarian Achievements In London
- 13 Aug 2012 9:00 AM

I managed to avoid commenting on the Olympics for two solid weeks, but perhaps I ought to say something about the games in general, the Hungarians’ performance in particular, and the political sparring between left and right over the Olympics and its significance. A couple of decades ago I was an avid follower of Olympic events but eventually I became disillusioned. I wasn’t sure any longer about ...

When was the last time you heard that or thought it yourself? I hear it very often these days, I train regularly and eat right and still think this! I believe it has been instilled into our minds throughout time that summer means getting slimmer and in shape. Whatever the reason is, it is always good to take a step back and evaluate if you possibly could shed a few Kilos, no matter what the ...

- 10 Jul 2012 9:00 AM
- sport
After doing my first Balaton Swim with Kevin Jackson 3 years ago for charity (raising money for the Hungarian Fair Trade Campaign), I have impatiently been waiting to do a second. Two years ago, after many weather postponements, the event was cancelled. Last year I had to pull out with 3 slipped disks. In what must be a first, the event this year went off without a hitch the first try, thus ...

Last week I beat an Olympic champion at tennis. OK, an ex-Olympic champion. A water-polo ex-Olympic champion. And it was Wii tennis (the video game). And he’d never played before. But a win’s a win, right? It was at a fantastic event which the Embassy supported. A competition for able-bodied children and children with disabilities to celebrate 100 days to go to the London Olympics.
