According to the press release, “The newly appointed CEO of the IHGF Adam Daruzs said the event will be filmed for European TV.  The sport is growing bigger in Hungary and with the TV exposure, this is having a big effect on other surrounding countries which is good for the sport and the athletes, which everyone is happy to see.”
