There is nothing new under the sun: just as last year at the Paralympics in Tokyo and then at the World Championships in Copenhagen, this year at the World Cup held on Lake Bannock in Halifax, the ranking itself appeared at the top. Behind Britain’s Charlotte Henshaw and Emma Wiggs, Catalin Varga took third place again this time.
Thus, Hungary concluded the semi-world championships with two medals, gold by Peter Pal Kiss on Friday and bronze by Katalin Varga, enough to tie for fifth place on the medals table.
