The noble gesture of the Olympic swimming champion

Swimmer Daniel Gyurta, who won the men's 200m breaststroke, said he will make a replica of his 2012 London Olympic gold medal to give to the family of the ill-fated Norwegian swimmer Alexander Dale Oen.

Gyurta won the gold medal in the 200m breaststroke with a time of 2 minutes 07 seconds 28. Not only that, the Hungarian swimmer also broke the world record in this event, previously set by Christian Sprenger of Australia at the 2009 world championship with a time of 2 minutes 07 seconds 31.

"We are good friends. I am sure he will win the gold medal in the 100m breaststroke and that is the best I can do for him," Gyurta told Hungarian reporters.

Dale Oen was considered one of Norway's top medal hopefuls at this year's London Olympics. Dale Oen collapsed at a training center in Flagstaff, northern Arizona, on April 30 and later died at the age of 26.

He is considered the top candidate for the gold medal in the men's 100m breaststroke as well as a formidable opponent of Gyurta in the 200m breaststroke race.

Dale Oen became a hero for Norway last year when he won the 100m breaststroke at the world championships in Shanghai, China./.
