Anna Sztankovics (born January 10, 1996) is a Hungarian swimmer, who specializes in the breaststroke events.[1][2]

Sztankovics was born in Budapest. She won two gold medals in the 100 m breaststroke at the 2011 European Junior Swimming Championships in Belgrade, Serbia, and at the 2012 European Junior Swimming Championships in Antwerp, Belgium.[3][4] Sztankovics is a member of Jövő Swimming Club in Budapest, and is coached and trained by Balazs Virth.[1]

Sztankovics qualified for three swimming events at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, by eclipsing FINA B-standard entry times of 1:09.31 (100 m breaststroke) and 2:30.26 (200 m breaststroke) from the European Championships.[3][5][6] In the 100 m breaststroke, Sztankovics challenged seven other swimmers on the second heat, including two-time Olympian Danielle Beaubrun of St. Lucia. She cruised to second place and thirty-first overall by two hundredths of a second (0.02) behind Slovenia's Tjasa Vozel in 1:09.65.[7] In the 200 m breaststroke, Sztankovics picked up another second spot in heat one behind three-time Olympian Alia Atkinson of Jamaica by less than 0.10 of a second, in her lifetime best of 2:29.67. Sztankovics failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed twenty-ninth overall in the preliminaries.[8][9]

Sztankovics also teamed up with Zsuzsanna Jakabos, Evelyn Verrasztó, and Eszter Dara in the 4 × 100 m medley relay. Swimming the breaststroke leg, Sztankovics recorded a split of 1:17.43. [10]
