SHENZHEN – It was less then two weeks ago that Hungarian swimmer László Cseh arrived home from Shanghai after a disappointing World Championship. Now he is back in China to show what he really can achive in the pool.
The man who was beaten only by Michael Phelps in the 2008 Olimpic Games, winning 3 silver medals in Beijing (200m butterfly, 200m IM, 400m IM), won no more than a bronze in Shanghai. The final day of the event he finished 22nd instead of 2nd in 400m Individual Medley, which is his favourite. Now he is back, and on Sunday he starts competing here at the 26th Summer Universiade in Shenzhen.
„It will be important for my soul. A real sportsman can stand up after a failure like this, and I really have come to show what I can”, World Champion László Cseh said.
He starts with 200m butterfly, and as Phelps is far away from Shenzhen, Cseh has no one but himself to beat.
Even if it won’t be easy after just a few days of having rest and after a long travel, László Cseh is here to get back where he really belongs to … on the podium, if not the top of it.
