Olympic champion of the University of Pannonia

This day will remain especially memorable for our University, as our student Kristóf Rasovszky performed fantastically in the 10 km open water swimming event at the Paris Olympics. He was in the lead from the very first metres and led confidently for most of the race, winning the Olympic title with a fantastic finish. The other Hungarian competitor - Dávid Betlehem, also from the Balaton Swimming Club in Veszprém, also performed outstandingly, finishing third on the podium with a great swim. This fantastic success was cheered on by the citizens of the University of Pannonia, who had the opportunity to do so in the fan zone in the Pannon CommunityHub.

Kristóf Rasovszky and the deserved gold medal on EUROSPORT

For the Pannonian fans, Rasovszky's great performance was a real gift, the 27-year-old Tokyo silver medallist Kristóf swam his way to the front of the field after the first few metres.
This is the Hungarian delegation's fourth gold medal at the Paris Olympics, and Dávid Betlehem's three silver medals are the fourth bronze for Hungary.

On behalf of the entire Pannonian community, congratulations to the medal winners and special congratulations to Kristóf Rasovszky for his fantastic performance!
The citizens of our university are very proud to have such a remarkable sportsman among their ranks.
