150th gold medal for Hungary! Yay!

Let me admit something - I'm not interested in sports at all! Other than going to the fitness studio to avoid getting even fatter.

Nevertheless, I'm very much excited by the fact that fencer lady Tímea Nagy repeated her Sydney performance in the rapier category and won a gold medal again. One of our male fencers got a silver medal (I think), and one of our swimmers made it to the finals, despite a recently broken leg.

Before this year's Olympic Games we were on place 8 (or 10?) of the Big List containing all medals ever one. For such a small nation it's a great achievement, I'd say.

It's such a rare moment that I can be proud of being Hungarian. I enjoy it immensely.

True and true, on both points.

Although I never watch any sports on tv, so for me volleyball and basketball are a new experience every four years. *g*

What I love in volleyball is the almost ballett-like coreography of the players' movements. It's so dynamic, I could watch it all day. Except when our people are playing, of course, that makes me much too nervous to enjoy.
