huolympics1-6, Exercise 1: Why canoeing suits Hungary

Model answer:

Hungary has the Danube, Lake Balaton and many other waters, and active clubs, so canoeing and kayaking have a natural base and a long tradition. The sport also offers many events at each Games, in single boats and team boats, so a small country strong in it can win several medals at once, which helps Hungary's totals. Some competitors born elsewhere compete for Hungary, which is an example of the nationality question. Numbers and names should be checked.
