Szilagyi claims Hungary's first gold

Hungary's incredible Olympic Games record in men's Sabre Fencing continued as 22-year-old Aron Szilagyi grabbed their first gold of London 2012. It was the 13th time a Hungarian has triumphed in the event  - and that includes an amazing run of 11 out of 12 victories between 1908 and 1964. Szilagyi is the only Hungarian fencer in the world's top 50 - he is ranked sixth - and was the country's only representative in the 36-strong field.

 

Hungarians take Silver and Bronze in Judo

Lashas Shavdatuashvili claimed gold in the men's -66kg Judo competition for Georgia with a narrow win over Hungarian Miklos Ungvari. In the women's competition, Eva Csernowiczki beat two-time world silver medallist Tomoko Fukumi to take the bronze medal.

 

Water polo-Serbia upset champions Hungary

Serbia beat Hungary in the group of death, 14-10. It was Hungary's first loss after an incredible 17-game winning streak in the Olympics. They are not out, yet.
