X-Man Romania came to its 15th edition in the city of Oradea/Nagyvárad. Almost 700 participants competed in the long, half and olympic distance triathlon races, respectively in the 10K and 21K running competitions. It was a huge challenge for all the people involved, I performed one of the longest presentations of my career, starting at 6:30 AM and finishing at 11:30 PM. At the end it gives a lot of joy and satisfaction because it requires a lot of effort and it creates a great team spirit. Congratulations to all the athletes and organizers, the long distance race was won by Alexandru Bãlan, completing the track in 8 hours, 38 minutes and 15 seconds. Such a great achievement!

I took part in the international press conference of the Hungarian Triathlon Federation as a host and an interpreter in one person. I was honoured to translate the speeches of the distinguished guests from Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania and Austria. I hope that the cooperation between the triathlon federations of these countries featuring Europe Triathlon and World Triathlon will lead to the development of this fantastic and complex sport discipline in the future.

A new triathlon series is about to begin. It is called Friendship Series and it is launched in cooperation by the Hungarian and the Romanian Triathlon Association. One of its target is to show how two countries, which had some huge conflicts in the past, are capable of having a great cooperation with a common purpose. I was honoured to host the press conference of the Hungarian federation and I am really glad that the series will create many connections between these countries, as I have already presented many triathlons both in Hungary and in Romania.

This is one of the competitions where the difficulty of half iron triathlon meets the beauty of the nature. Styria, in the South-Eastern part of Austria has many great features, while the event delivers a huge challenge to the participants: 2 km swim, 86 km bike, 20 km run. Of course, about 70% of my work is being done in German language, the rest of 30% contains some English and Hungarian. The majority of the triathletes here come from Austria, Slovenia and Italy. A great weekend every year!

There was no time to relax last weekend. On Saturday I presented a triathlon in Austria, then I caught a flight to Bucharest to host the half-marathon on Sunday. Well, about the triathlon: it's a beloved race held in Styria not far from Graz, at the lake called Röcksee. There are 200 starters each year. They begin with 2 km swim, then they continue with 86 km bike and they complete also 20 km of running before they cross the finish line. It was a rainy day this time but it was funny! I even used some Italian phrases as a surprise to the "ragazzis" who won some of the categories. In the general rankings, it was the Ukrainian Andrii Onyshchenko who won the men's race, while local hero Michaela Wolf gained gold medal in the ladies' competition.

The feeling alone when I drive across Styria is a fantastic pleasure. Then I wake up the next morning and go to present a cool race, the Austrian 1/2 Iron Triathlon which is a great event featuring almost 500 participants who come to face the hard challenge consisting of 2 km swim, 86 km bike and 20 km run. The environment is epic: a nice, small lake, forest, parks, hills, sunshine. It was a huge honor to be a part of it! A memorable event, I can recommend it to all who like triathlon! Location: Mureck, Styria, Austria

It was once again a pleasure to hold the microphone at a major event. I presented the U23 Triathlon European Championships, in the beginning of August. At the Hungarian event held at Lake Velence, the host country (athlete Bence Bicsak) has won a gold medal, so the atmosphere was really unbelievable. I was honored to work there and be part of this magnifficent event.

On September 10 I had the honour to be the announcer of the Mamaia TriChallenge at the Romanian sea side. A number of 1400 participants came to the start of the well-known triathlon event which is also the last stage of the Romanian national league.

At the third edition of the IronMan 70.3 in Budapest I had the honour to present a press conference. The highlight of the day was an interview with the triathlon world champion Ivan Rana of Spain.

The town of Tiszaujvaros has a history of only 50 years. It is hosting the triathlon World Cup since 1997 which is the most popular event in the region. This year, thousands of supporters came to cheer for the Hungarian athletes at the 20th edition. The locals were satisfied with the bronze medal achieved by Tamas Toth (Rio olympian) and I was honoured to present the race in 4 languages for the thrd time in a row.

It must be a pleasure to participate in a triathlon, especially when it takes place in a region like Brasov, Romania. It is unique for its beauty because it is located in the mountains and has a multicultural profile. This year, over 500 participants started at the international Herbalife triathlon having two distances to choose from: sprint or olympic. It was an honor to present the races, thousands of supporters followed the event in the city center.

The Triathlon Challenge in Mamaia (Romanian seaside) is already a traditional race at the end of the season. This year - at the 7th edition - about 1300 people competed in their own categories. On Saturday, it was the day of the beginners and semi-pros who had 3 distances to choose from. The pros worked hard on Sunday as the stormy weather made their race pretty difficult. Among the professionals of the Premium European Cup there were 20 nations represented by aproximately 60 triathletes. I enjoyed working at this great event!

The party-atmosphere of the Tiszy Triatlon World Cup is a unique experience for all the participants. Hundreds of racers come to qualify for the final but they also enjoy every moment of a spectacular show. The sport event is a bit different than the majority of the races held around the world. Tiszy surprises people with its party-oriented, ceremonial way of organising a sport event. The inhabitants of the Hungarian town do serious preparations in order to keep the tradition alive. Tiszaujvaros is the only place in the WC calender where 19 races were held in a row. I love that place and congratulate to all the involved sport-loving people!

The city of Brasov hosted the International Herbalife Triathlon where around 500 participants accepted the challenge to complete a quite exhausting race. The city and its surroundings are known for their natural beauty and epic sights so it must be a pleasure to compete in the region. It was an honor to me to work there and to enjoy the magnificent atmosphere. Congratulations to all the finishers and organizers!

The men's competition was won by the Slovenian Matija Meden, followed by two Hungarian professionals, Zoltan Petsuk and Marton Flander. Marina Novel from Italy was the fastest woman of the race. It was an honor to me to be the multilingual announcer of the competition held on 9th of May 2015.

What a crazy weekend at the Romanian sea side... 800 participants took on a magic triathlon adventure in Mamaia. For the first time in Romania, the Triathlon ETU European Cup worked like a magnet for thousands of people who came to watch a high-level race. I had some great joy and fun, making a spectacular atmosphere was not a huge task when lots of people come to cheer for the best triathletes who ever come to Romania. Congratulations to the winners (Yuliya Yelistratova and Dmitry Polianskiy) and to all the amateur triathletes who managed to cross the finish line at the Grand Final of the Romanian Triathlon Series!

The reality in Tiszaujvaros is like an unreachable dream for other small towns in Central Europe. The Hungarian town with only 17.000 inhabitants is hosting the ITU Triathlon World Cup for the 18th time in history. It is all about tradition, sports and undescribeable atmosphere! People here are amazing: they cheer for all the athletes and are happy to celebrate the feast of sports! The well-experienced organizers are eager to offer something new. This year, I am one of these novelties: I am the multilingual presenter of this magnificent sport event.

There were some heroic iron men and women who competed at the Austrian 1/2 Iron Triathlon last Saturday. With 280 people from 11 different countries, the Styrian competition guaranteed a spectacular experience. It all began with an exhausting 2 km long swimming leg. Afterwards, there was a great cycling part measuring 86 km and a decisive showdown with 21 km of running. It was a fantastic event where I had the honor to entertain respectively infotain people performing a 3 language commentary (EN, DE, HU).
