On Monday, Hungarian Olympic Champion and World Record holder Katinka Hosszu and her husband Máté Layber-Gelencsér announced the birth of their first child, who is named Kamila Layber-Gelencsér. The couple made this announcement via a joint Instagram post.
Megszületett számunkra a világ csodája!
Már most nagyon szeretünk Layber-Gelencsér Kamília ❤️English Translation: The wonder of the world was born for us! We already love Kamília Layber-Gelencsér.
Hosszu revealed that she was pregnant in March 2023, but said as early as June 2022 that she wasn’t planning to compete at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games because she wanted to have a baby. She got engaged to Gelenscer in January 2022 and married him in August of the same year.
“I know the 2024 Paris Olympics are a long way from me, it’s unlikely to fit in because my fiancé and I are planning to have a baby.” Hosszu said last June. “Sure, it turns out the way it turns out, but I don’t think I’ll be there for the next Olympics.”
The last time Hosszu competed at an official swim meet was the 2022 European Championships in August 2022. As of Janurary 2022, she said that she had no imminent retirement plans and wanted to become the first swimmer with 100 international medals. Currently, she has 96 medals, which come from the Olympic Games, the long and short course World Championships, and the long and short-course European Championships.
Hosszu is one of the most accomplished swimmers of the 21st century. She is the current world record holder in the long course 200 IM, as well as the short course 100 and 200 IM. From August 2016 to April 2023, she also held the world record in the long course 400 IM, but that record was taken down by Canada’s Summer McIntosh in April 2023.
Congratulations. Like her or not, I imagine Katinka and her husband are absolutely thrilled!
Why should we not like her, why should we not like Ledecky and so on, where are you going?
I’m just waiting for all the college recruiting jokes
She’s a fascist who openly supports Viktor Orban. To hell with her.
🤗
Milak gave a very disturbing pro-Russian, anti-American, anti-LGBTQ interview not long ago. It was probably written for him
It wasn’t really any of those things, but it was pre-written for him 100%. He touched on the situation of Russian athletes and was pro “open category” about transgender swimmers, but it was neither pro-Russia, nor anti-LGBTQ. America wasn’t mentioned in the interview.
You don’t get paid as a swimmer in Hungary if you aren’t publicly pro Orbán to an extent. Doesn’t mean she is a fascist, which she isn’t.
Is Trump-supporter Klete Keller better, what a stupid remark.
… word is the baby is signed up to race 8 events at next month’s Baby Olympics. Sok sikert!
congrats!!
Congrats Katinka.
Going to be a rockstar
Next 400 IM world star
Katinka has obviously been a great athlete for ages.
I don’t know who does her publicity work, but I think this picture is one of the most creative baby announcements I’ve ever seen.
Blessings to the whole family.
The Iron Baby Has Arrived
I can’t decide if I like Iron Baby or Iron Lassie better.
Either way, congrats Katinka and Máté.
