The artists and the audience celebrate our successful Olympians together at the Budapest Grand Circus! It is a nice tradition that after the performance, the applause order – when the artists performing in our show are applauded – celebrates together the athletes who win bronze, silver or gold medals at the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris – thus gaining recognition, success and appreciation for our country, Hungary and the Hungarian people. Yesterday, our medal-winning Olympic champions were applauded by the performers and the audience with standing ovations. At the end of yesterday’s performance, we celebrated five of our Hungarian compatriots who had the chance to stand on top of the world the night before! At the Summer Olympics in Paris, Kristóf Milák won the 200m butterfly and our men’s sword team – Csanád Gémesi, Krisztián Rabb, András Szatmári, Áron Szilágyi – all won silver medals thanks to their outstanding talent, diligence and performance!
