导出博客文章BUDAPEST, Hungary -- The head of Hungarys swimming federation said Wednesday he
was resigning, less than a year before the country will host the 2017 world
championships.Calls for the ouster of Tamas Gyarfas, who first became federation
president in 1993, were led by three-time Olympic champion Katinka Hosszu, who
called him the most harmful factor for Hungarian swimming.Hosszu and other top
swimmers made repeated appeals for greater transparency and more democratic
decision-making within the federation and better training conditions.Gyarfas, a
former journalist and television producer who had been able to distance himself
from numerous scandals at the federation over the years, said he decided to
resign because it was what I can now do to help the most.My biggest joy is that
I can see the new swimming complex under construction, Gyarfas said regarding
the facilities being built near the Danube River in Budapest for the world
championships.Gyarfas was considered instrumental in bringing the event to
Hungary for the first time.The world swimming championships are seen as a key
test of Hungarys abilities to host large sporting events and will be held a
couple of months before the International Olympic Committee choses the host city
for the 2024 Olympics. The candidates are Budapest, Los Angeles and
Paris.Gyarfas briefly resigned in 1996, after it came to light that a couple of
Hungarian swimmers on the team which competed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics were
nominated based on false qualifying times. He was reinstated nearly
unanimously.After the Gyarfas announcement, Hosszu posted a picture of herself
on Facebook wearing a T-shirt with a drawing of shackled hands grabbing a hand
holding a whip.Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise! wrote
Hosszu, who is trained by her American husband, Shane Tusup, and won three gold
medals and a silver medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Gyarfas and the
federation have blamed Tusup for the bad blood that has developed between
them.Daniel Gyurta, a gold medalist at the 2012 London Olympics who had also
called for new leadership at the federation, wrote Deep breath. Tabula rasa on
his Facebook page.
