They believe that Dávid Betlehem and Bettina Fábián, who finished on the podium, were unfairly disqualified from the European Open Water Swimming Cup.

But only in theory, in the end, Bettina Fábián and Dávid Betlehem could not stand on the podium, nor did they receive a medal. Both of them were excluded from the competition.
The Hungarian Swimming Association has filed a complaint with the European Aquatics Federation regarding what happened on Saturday at the European Cup stop in Razanac, where both Dávid Betlehem and Bettina Fábián were disqualified for wearing inappropriate caps.
