Hungarian Consultate Honors Attila Mányoki
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California. Far away from home in a foreign land, it is always good to meet your fellow countrymen. Especially when they take great interest and pride in your accomplishments.
Attila Mányoki was invited by Consul General at the Hungary Consulate in Los Angeles, California and spoke about open water swimming with Consul General Dr Laszlo Kalman. “After a friendly talk, he presented me with a certificate in the name of the Consulate Generale of Hungary. My crew Andras Takacs and my friend Gabor Tompa who recorded my swim across Catalina were also there. It was a really nice surprise from the Consulate. We talk a lot about my swims and also about the next project and my future swims.”
