Eva Ristov, Olympic swimming champion and host of the national sports radio, answered with dramatic honesty a question about how an athlete copes when a competition doesn't go the way they want. One of our most successful world classics is Kossuth Rádió Halló, here in Paris! She shared her feelings when she came “only” fourth at the Olympics.
Three-time World Championship silver medalist, seven-time European Championship silver medalist, one-time European Championship bronze medalist, six-time European short course champion, seven-time European Junior Champion, fifty-eight-time national champion among adults, the Hungarian swimmer was only 17 years old when she competed in 11 events at the national championships, won a medal and became the most successful competitor in the competition. The impressive results continued to come. At the World Championships he took second place in the 400m freestyle, 400m medley and 200m butterfly. He finished with two gold medals at the European short course. He won ten gold medals at the 2004 Olympics. At the Athens Olympics he took fourth place in the 400m medley. By his own admission, he considered this the greatest tragedy of his life. Then he was interviewed, and he gave a surprising answer to the reporter's question. Hello, this is Paris! He revealed on the show the feelings and thoughts behind his famous line when he said: “I want my mother.” We say everything with this sentence, that is, you are alone in both failure and success. Eva Restov concluded her thoughts.
