  • ECh 2004: European Attendance Record
    2005.02.10. 18:32

    Two months after the European Championship, Katalin Szili, the Speaker of the National Assembly and Chief Sponsor of the ECH held a reception for the Hungarian bronze medalists in the Hunters Room of the Parliament.
    'You could say that last year's most successful event was the Women's European Handball Championship in Hungary and the continent as well.' said Katalin Szili, the Speaker of the National Assembly at a reception held in the honour of the Hungarian team and their sponsors on Thursday.

    The Speaker thanked all those concerned for the successful event and pointed out that both of his deputies (regardless of which side of the aisle they represented) attended the reception to show their appreciation for the girls. 'Let us remember someone, who was with us in December and had a significant share in this success. No words can describe the way we feel about Anita Kulcsár, who is no longer with us.' said Katalin Szili, who asked all guests to pay tribute to the deceased player by a one-minute silence.

    László Sinka, the Secretary-General of the Hungarian Handball Federation and Chairman of the Organizing Committee pointed out that they learned a lot during the organization of the event, and they can utilize the experience later when Hungary can host the next event of a similar scale.

    'Sixteen national teams played 48 matches altogether during the tournament. 125 thousand spectators attended the clashes on location, which is a new European record. 41 countries had live coverage of the event, while over one hundred nations had the chance to see the ECh in other reports. The total number of viewers is estimated to be around 800 million. Another breathtaking figure is that the viewer ratings in Norway was 87% in the last two days, which means that 9 people out of ten were watching the tournament.' Sinka said.

    The secretary-general added that the ticket sales revenue was 179 million HUF in total. The ceremony was concluded by István Kiss, the Chairman of the Hungarian Handball Federation, who presented Katalin Szili with an ECh bronze medal.
