Zsuzsanna “Zsu” Jakabos, Star Hungarian Swimmer, Timeless Beauty

Connections between stunningly beautiful women knows no boundaries of region or time.

They tend to hang out together and understandably quote one another.

Anett Szigethy is a Hungarian fitness model and the former Miss Hungary 2013 Supranational.

Anett is apparently a fan of another incredibly beautiful woman from another time period, the timeless actress Audrey Hepburn and quoted her on her Social Media.

Audrey Hepburn as you remember is a timeless actress.

Born Audrey Kathleen Hepburn-Ruston on May 4, 1929 in Brussels, Belgium; she was a blue-blood and a cosmopolitan from birth. Her mother, Ella van Heemstra, was a Dutch baroness; Audrey’s father, Joseph Victor Anthony Hepburn-Ruston, was born in Úzice, Bohemia, of English and Austrian descent, and worked in business.

She shot to stardom for playing the lead role in the memorable films Roman Holiday (1953), as Sabrina (1954), The Nun’s Story (1959), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961), Charade (1963), My Fair Lady (1964) and Wait Until Dark (1967).

Audrey evolved into a global humanitarian with UNICEF and the philosopher side of her brain blessed and inspired the world with many thoughts.

Here are a few.

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’!

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Very profound, wouldn’t you agree? Here is the one that Anett Szigethy chose to post, “Happy girls are the prettiest”.

One beautiful Hungarian Princesses understandably leads us to think of another.

Zsuzsanna “Zsu” Jakabos (born 3 April 1989) is a Hungarian swimmer.

At the respected site biotechusa.com we find her impressive bio. “I was born in Pécs, on 3 April 1989. I grew up in a sporty family, as both my parents were athletes. My mum works as a Deputy Director at a primary school; my dad is a retired PE teacher. Thanks to my parents, I played a lot in the long jump pit – still, I became a swimmer, although it wasn’t a conscious decision.

I learnt to swim late, at the age of 8, at the ANK Swimming Club in Pécs, where my trainer Dr. Petrov Anatoliy trained me for 12 years. I achieved my first major success at the European Youth Olympic Festival, from which I returned with three gold medals.

In the following years I won the European Youth Championship four times. I was 15 when I participated in the Olympic Games in Athens, and then in 2008 my freestyle relay team achieved a scoring position at the Beijing Olympic Games. I won silver four times at European Championships, and I’m a two-time European Champion in short course swimming.

At the London Olympic Games I came in 7th in 200 meters butterfly. At World Championships (2011, 2013) I achieved 5^th place twice and 6th place three times. Currently I am preparing for my fourth Olympic Games in Győr, and I’m also a corresponding student at Wekerle Sándor Business College.”

At her site http://zsujakabos.com/ she is warm and welcoming. “I warmly welcome you to my site.

It stands to reason that her combination of beauty and athletic talent is making her modern day dream girl.

Given our competitive female grappling industry’s illustrious stars from Hungary like super star Antscha, Viktoria, Zsuzsa, Tia, Orsi, Leona, Jenna, Ella and others, we have electronically traveled to Hungary many times.

When we do it’s easy to focus on Budapest.

Here is why.

The welcoming site spasbudapest.com expresses, “Budapest is one of the biggest and most exciting cities in Central and Eastern Europe. Amongst its most popular attractions are undoubtedly its thermal baths, now renowned throughout the world. Although Budapest, the capital city of Hungary, has only officially carried the title as a Spa City for 80 years, its unique facilities were fully recognized by Roman legionaries over 2000 years ago!”

Ah, the Romans. As we visit the home of Zsuzsanna, we will once again see the strong Roman connection.

Let’s visit the village that helped propel Zsuzsanna.

Pécs is the fifth largest city of Hungary, located on the slopes of the Mecsek mountains in the south-west of the country, close to its border with Croatia. It is the administrative and economical center of Baranya County.

The earliest name for the territory was its Roman name of Sopianæ.

The city Sopianae was founded by Romans at the beginning of the 2nd century, in an area peopled by Celts and Pannoni tribes. By the 4th century, it became the capital of Valeria province and a significant early Christian center.

The educational site visitbudapest.travel adds, “Pécs has a rich history of more than 2,000 years. First settled by the Celts the city later became a part of the Roman Empire. The Necropolis of Sopianae, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dates back to the fourth century. This is the largest Early Christian burial chamber found outside Italy.

It’s not widely known (yet), but Pécs is also a city of romance. For decades couples in love have been coming to the city to literally ‘lock-in’ their feelings for each other. Small locks are placed on the fences along Janus Pannonius Street each symbolizing a couples lasting love for each other. Nobody really knows how it all started, but the lock-lined fences sure make a very unique sight.”

The city of Pécs is located near to the border of Croatia.

Those are nice basics and as always the wonderful travel site Lonely Planet came, saw and adds spectacular color. “Blessed with a mild climate, an illustrious past and a number of fine museums and monuments, Pécs is one of the most pleasant and interesting cities to visit in Hungary. With a handful of universities, the nearby Mecsek Hills and a lively nightlife, many travelers put it second only to Budapest on their Hungary ‘must-see’ list.

Lying equidistant from the Danube to the east and the Dráva to the south on a plain sheltered from the northern winds by the Mecsek Hills, Pécs enjoys a microclimate that lengthens the summer and is ideal for viticulture and fruit production, especially almonds. A fine time to visit is during a warm Indian Nyár (Indian summer), when the light seems to take on a special quality.”

Zsuzsanna is from a vibrant and historical place.

Our Hungarian beauty has had her adversity, having to recover from a severe shoulder injury. At last report, Zsuzsanna is swimming approximately 3000 meters in her training sessions and it appears that her recovery is moving in a positive direction.

So much of the modern female sports world is a story of how the young women involved are participating in various disciplines that extend their careers.

Whether it be fitness, acting, modeling or other endeavors, expect to continue to hear great news about Zsuzsanna. She seems to have a very unique glow. Wouldn’t you agree?

It’s understandable.
