Rio 2016: Hungarian Olympic team sworn in

162 Hungarian athletes have qualified to represent the country in 20 Olympic sporting events

Members of the Hungarian Olympic team have taken the Olympic oath during an official ceremony at the Palace of Arts in Budapest yesterday.

Although there are still some decisions to be made regarding the size of Hungary' s Olympic team, 162 athletes have qualified so far to represent the country in 20 sporting events, the Hungarian Olympic Committee has announced.

Hungary is scheduled to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016.

Hungary is tipped to do well this year in the swimming, water polo, judo and other prominent disciplines.

If the success of Euro 2016 is anything to go by then we expect 'Team Magyars' to do extremely well this time around!

We will keep you posted throughout the games with all of the Hungarian success stories.
