Hungarian swimmers show strong form weeks before European Championships

Hungarian open water swimmers Bettina Fábián and Viktória Mihályvári-Farkas delivered promising results at a recent competition, signaling strong form six weeks ahead of the European Championships. In the women's 10km race, they closely pursued the dominant Australian swimmer Moesha Johnson.

Johnson, who had won the previous three races convincingly, was pushed hard by the two Hungarians. Fábián finished just 1.1 seconds behind Johnson, securing second place, while Mihályvári-Farkas followed in third, two seconds later. These strong finishes place Fábián fourth and Mihályvári-Farkas sixth overall in the competition standings.

Both athletes expressed optimism about their preparation. "I am in good shape," confirmed European champion Mihályvári-Farkas. "We spent a week at altitude and are heading back now. I feel strong and felt good during the race. I believe we are heading in a very good direction and will be in good form at the European Championships."
