Éva Risztov
Olympic Champion Swimmer
How does a world-class athlete live, operate, think, and optimize? Éva rewrote her sporting career by moving from the pool to open water, winning the gold medal in the 10 km marathon swim at the 2012 London Olympics. With more than fifty Hungarian championship titles, as well as World and European Championship medals, she sets an example of perseverance and reinvention not only in sport but in life as well. At Brain Bar, we’ll ask her not only about the champion’s mentality, but also about the behind-the-scenes secrets of professional nutrition and training routines—along with what we can all learn from competitive sports to overcome everyday challenges.
