The swimming events for the World Championships will be held in that pool from July 23 to July 30.<\/p>\n<p>In a ceremony with FINA Executive Director\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/?s=cornel+marculescu\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Cornel Marculescu<\/strong><\/a> and\u00a0<strong>Viktor Orban\u00a0<\/strong>both present, Budapest mayor\u00a0<strong>Istvan Tarlos<\/strong>\u00a0gave the arena&#8217;s keys\u00a0to Olympic gold medalist\u00a0<strong>Katinka Hosszu<\/strong>.

To tell the truth, when I\u2019m here, I don\u2019t feel I\u2019m in a swimming pool. This place is much more than just a pool.
