I was born on 10 November 1991, in Miskolc.

It was in 2000 (when I was 10), at the TVK-Mali triathlon club, that I first encountered this sport which, by now, has become an integral part of my life.

I still compete in the colours of my first association.

My major achievements since the Youth and Junior age groups. Multiple champion in my age groups and Budapest ITU Aquathlon World Championships 9th place. Between 2007 and 2010 I was a member of the Heracles junior team.

I was Hungarian Champion in the U23 age group. I changed distances towards the end of my U23 years, which greatly influenced the success of my career. Between 2011 and 2014 I was a member of the national U23 team.

At the suggestion of my trainer, Tibor Lehman, I first competed in a long-distance triathlon competition in 2013; in 2014, I was Hungarian Champion among adults, and at the 70.3 Ironman World Cup in Budapest I came in 6th. In 2015, I jumped two places from the previous year and I came in 4th. I have been the member of the national adult long-distance team since 2015.

In intermediate distance, my best time is 3:54 minutes.

This year I’m planning to challenge the best ones at the ITU’s intermediate distance European Championship, but I will also be competing in Hungary. From among the national competitions, Budapest Ironman 70.3 and Balatonman Triatlon are definitely on my schedule.

My long-term goal is to compete, within a few years, with the world’s best ones in the pro category at the Hawaii Ironman for a place on the podium.
