Swimming legend Katinka Hosszú to miss Paris Olympics 2024
Repeat Olympic and world champion swimmer Katinka Hosszú aimed to qualify for the Paris Olympics but failed to meet the qualifying stage.
Hosszú failed to qualify for the 200m medley at the Sette Colli (Seven Hills) international event in Rome on Sunday and is now certain to miss the Olympics.
The 35-year-old three-time Olympic champion was attempting to secure her place in Paris in the 200m medley. However, her final time of 2:18.41 was well short of the required 2:11.47, meaning she will miss her sixth Olympic Games.
In recent years, Hosszú has been enjoying motherhood following the birth of her child. Despite a long hiatus, she has been striving to reach the qualifying standard. Sadly, this is expected to mark the end of a long and successful career.

Sorry to see her go as she is one of the greatest ever swimmer this world has ever seen.
