BUDAPEST, December 8, 2024 - Every year is a celebration of Hungarian sports journalism with the most important print publication of the year, the Sports Yearbook - published every year since the 1988 Olympics. Collecting the most outstanding Hungarian sporting achievements of the year 2024 with photos, interviews, publicist articles, columns and statistics, the book features 500 photos taken by Hungarian sports photographers, the Hungarian News Agency, MTI, and Reuters. More than a million characters have been typed by nearly 40 authors, and it is very important that the publication has been supported by the Hungarian Sports Journalists Association (HSJA) for more than ten years, both financially and through journalistic work, in addition to the Hungarian Olympic Committee.
“In line with the outstanding performances and gold medals of Hungarian athletes at the Paris Olympics, this year's Sports Yearbook has been published in a gold binding, and it is a great pleasure to be able to summarize the year of 2024 from the perspective of so many Hungarian sports journalists," said György Szöllősi, President of the HSJA on the occasion of the book's publication.
