which hungarian girls do you see making a difference next quad? (I'm trying to learn about the lesser known gym countries and I know you have a lot of opinions so don't hold back.)

I apologize in advance because this will be long. You asked for it.The senior team is currently suffering from a serious lack of depth. While reading this, keep in mind that an AA score over 53 is miraculous in Hungary, while 51 is still HUGE. Most girls at Nationals score in the 48-49s. There’s obviously Zsófia Kovács (2000) who is, and will continue to, make a huge difference for the team. She has a DTY (WHICH IS BEAUTIFUL), a recently upgraded UB set (scored 14.733/6.3), a 5.7 BB routine and a 5.5 FX set - with potential for upgrades on all events, IMO. She’s just turned senior and is already the clear team leader for the upcoming quad. (NO INJURIES PLS) Average AA score: 55-56ish!Then there’s Noémi Makra (1997), who has been plagued with injury during almost all of her senior career. Sadly this has not helped her mentally at all and she has turned into a bit of a headcase. She has huge potential on UB and BB especially, and her FX used to be great (see 2013 Worlds) - like 6.0 D great. I hate injuries. Anyway, I see her sticking around and maybe focusing on UB/BB, if she can’t get her ankle to ever work again. Average AA score: 54ish, lately more 52>…..And of course Dorina Böczögő (1992!!!) is the ultimate veteran. There have been rumors about her retiring, but honestly, as long as she stays at her current level (50-53 AA), she is guaranteed a spot on any major championship team, so I don’t see it happening. Everybody knows Dorina’s strength is floor, and used to be beam, but she’s downgraded a bit. Bars seems to have become her most hated event this year, I remember her hitting essentially not a single routine at all the spring world cups. Her vault is decent. Average AA score: 53-54 on a good day.Luca Diveky (1994) is a solid AAer with nice dance on FX (you’ll notice most Hungarians are awful at anything resembling choreography but she’s fine!), but the difficulty is just not there. Average AA score: not worth mentioning, but around 50. Boglarka Devai (1999) used to have a really good DTY, and even recently brought it back, but UGH INJURIES. If she has it ready next quad, that’d be huge for the team. Her second vault is pretty good too (5.6 - a Lopez!), so she could make Euros VT EF. All her other events are unfortunately not worth mentioning, though her FX is decent. OKAY SO LET’S TALK ABOUT JUNIORS. Assuming anyone is still reading this. I’m gonna focus on juniors who have POTENTIAL, and just briefly add everyone else.2001 will have Noémi Jakab joining the senior team, who is not outstanding on any event, but is clean and scores around 50 AA. (bars are a huge issue for her, 5.1 D with a maximum E of 7 due to form stuff) strongest event: floor (13+) And also: Barbara Katona (47 AA) – clean, but nah. 2002 is SUPER EXCITING FOR HUNGARY!!!! Here’s why: Dorka Szujó is the latest little blonde girl with amazing form from Noémi and Dorina’s club. She is already amazing, and she has ANOTHER YEAR FOR UPGRADES! In 2016, she made JR Euros AA finals with a 51.6 - that’s with a BB fall, an OOB, and only a 4.4 VT SV. She has room for upgrades absolutely everywhere, and is already working on some fun stalder skills. Her floor features that beautiful piked full in Dorina and Noémi do.Average AA score: 51ish BB FX Nóra Fehér is equally as talented and looking great already! She recently upgraded her bars to a 5.6 (could only find video of her 5.4 routine), she’s competing a laid out yurchenko but is likely working on the FTY (that is huge for Hungarian juniors, you guys don’t get it), her beam isn’t super difficult but solid when she hits (13.450) and her floor is also lower in D, but solid. She got injured after PT at Euros this year and only competed bars in QF, but would’ve likely made the AA final otherwise. Dorka and Nóra will very likely be leading the team at EYOF next year, which will be held in Hungary. Average AA score: 51ishThen there’s: Sára Péter - great on VT, and sometimes beam/floor.Csenge Mólnar - sadly injured rn, really good on FX (5.5ish) I won’t bore you with full details on 2003/2004 buuuuut:Zója Székely (2003) – bars, bars, bars! Just needs to clean up. That’s it.Regina Medved (2003) – dat floor tho. (x) potential on beam. bars is a mess.Csenge Bácskay (2003) – floor. (this is old, w/o her upgrades) general potentialHanna Szujó (2004) – Dorka’s sister who is INCREDIBLE already. Recently scored 51 AA at a meet, with a 2.5 BARS D SCORE. She is beautiful to watch and has two whole years for upgrades. I’m trying not to get attached to tiny juniors but………. I’M ATTACHED. FX (there are no other videos but her beam is awesome. 5.0 D, recently stuck everything for a 13.4. She is 12.) We’ll hopefully see her at junior Euros in 2018. Mirtill Markovits (2004) – IDK, when a Hungarian junior scores 50+, that’s worth mentioning, and when they’re TWELVE YEARS OLD, it’s even more alarming. So yeah, remember the name. (13.0 on FX, very clean. Obviously there are zero videos of her online)So to answer your question, and remember you ASKED for these details, I think Zsófi, Noémi and Dorina will continue leading the team. Once Dorka and Nóra turn senior, I think Hungary will be a contender for making the Euros TF on a regular basis.
