Attila Vajda has been waiting for another first lead, but even for another medal, since the 2008 gold medal. Under the guidance of László Fatán Jr., the home industry started a new way, and Hungary, appointed at the end of last year, began the Olympic cycle encouragingly. We also collected five medals at the Milan World Championships, the women’s and men’s team wins, and the third meter in addition to Zsófia Csorba, in the third meter, were bronze medals in two Olympic numbers: Balázs Adolf C1 1000, Kristóf Kollár and István Juhász C2 500 meters.
– I saw in the training camp that the canoe team is strong. I secretly hoped we would do well. I said before that I was expecting five or six medals, five of them. Actually, I am pleased to have fourth and fifth place in a close battle.
It is important to see that in this Olympic cycle, in the first year, we were able to step forward compared to the previous four to eight years.
It is gratifying that the work we started is practically a good direction and worth continuing, ”the 41 -year -old, whose father’s Olympic champion, began his assessment to our newspaper, was a World Cup medal himself.
– Twenty years ago there were many more large teams in Hungary. We do not know why their number has fallen, but we had to react to it. There are necessary workouts from time to time when there are competitors of different clubs together. This should be kept in balance and work at home in their own workshops. The ratio is worth finding!
The world has accelerated, sports science has evolved, there are many new tools that help you prepare, and we want to exploit them.
We can bring it to everyday work very slowly, because athletes should not be concerned at the same time. Have a heart rate monitor and other serious instrument, a ship unit, and possibly a regeneration protocol.
László Foltán is moving with age
Of course, innovations do not go overnight. According to László Fatán Jr., it is important that the canoes are understood and accept the methods.
– This is a long process, we started. We professionals also train ourselves in this area, and in parallel we also involve the competitors. They also need to understand them.
It starts to work, they are increasingly open to it. Now they see that it makes sense, not only to monitor them in our cheer.
The result is tangible, with a gold or bronze medal in their neck. Nine of ten canoes were won. Takács Kincső alone is not, he was eighth in the Olympic number, 200m, as well as at the Paris Olympics. It is important that we are in this number in the first half of the field. We have the goals and directions we need to build and keep the effectiveness. The task is given for the next three years. I hope we find new things we can move forward, the federal captain hoped.
