Anna Olasz of Hungary who trains at Arizona State University in America where she is studying traveled to England to compete in the elite division of the 5 km Great North Swim in Windermere.

The race was qualifier for British athletes to qualify for the European Championships.

But the young Olasz was the class of the field as she started fast and never let down. She has been on a tear working out in the desert in her newly adopted Arizona and on the FINA professional marathon swimming circuit.
