Interestingly, aside from 10 Olympic gold medals, Hungarian athletes haven\u2019t managed to emerge as world champions in any outdoor events. Thus far, Hungary\u2019s only gold medalist in athletics is\u00a0shot-putter Anita M\u00e1rton\u00a0with her triumph at the Athletics World Indoor Championships in Birmingham earlier this year. Although it\u2019s doubtful that this trend will change, organizers expect that it will have a good effect on Hungary sport-wise and economically. An income of tens of billions of HUF is predicted and one billion people could potentially follow the events on TV. In addition, the event could be beneficial for the areas of South-Pest and Csepel, a formerly run-down neighborhood within the city.  For the World Championships, a\u00a0brand new stadium will soon be built with the capacity to seat 40,000. For future events, that number would be reduced to 15,000 and the stadium would operate at the center of Hungarian Athletics. As it can be seen in the picture below, it would be located on the eastern bank of the Danube River on the city\u2019s south side between L\u00e1gym\u00e1nyosi bridge and the northern tip of Csepel Island.  Source: Centre of Key Government Investments (KBKK)   \u201cIn the past 30 years, Hungary has organized every single world and European Championships, indoor and out \u2013 on the road, cross country \u2013 available to us except for the World Athletics Championships, and we are incredibly proud that this collection will be complete in just under five years\u2019 time,\u201d said M\u00e1rton Gyulai, CEO of the bid committee for Budapest 2023,\u00a0IAAF reported.  Over the course of the past few years, the major sporting events hosted by Hungary included\u00a0the\u00a0FINA World Swimming Championships\u00a0and the World Judo Championships in 2017. Even though Budapest\u00a0withdrewits\u00a0bid for the 2024 Olympic Games following a successful signature drive, Hungary won\u2019t lack major sports events in the future. Besides the Athletics World Championships, Hungary will host\u00a0the European Aquatics Championships in 2020 and Budapest will co-host the football European Championships in 2020 along with a number of other events.  featured image:\u00a0Bal\u00e1zs Baji finishing third\u00a0in sprint hurdling in 2017;
