Hungary’s Judo Star Aims for Olympic Glory in Paris

If you stroll near Budapest’s judo training center these days, you’ll hear it: the thunderous grunts, explosive shouts, and relentless thuds of athletes throwing their all into preparation. Hungary’s seven-member judo squad is laser-focused on one goal—Olympic gold—and they’re making sure the world hears their determination .

Leading the charge is Krisztian Toth, the Tokyo 2020 bronze medalist who embodies his team’s gritty spirit. 'I’m exhausted, but we’re on the right path,' Toth told reporters, sweat still fresh from training. 'We’re doing everything to peak in Paris. I feel positive.'

Hungary hasn’t topped the judo podium since 2016, but this squad is ready to rewrite history. Their training sessions, audible blocks away, mirror the intensity of a Netflix sports drama —complete with underdog energy and a soundtrack of sheer willpower.

Will Toth’s 'positive vibes' translate into golden success? The world will find out when the Games begin July 26. Until then, Budapest’s streets will keep echoing with the sound of champions-in-the-making.
