Alone in the water – but not in solitude
How does the power of community help? Gábor Rakonczay shares his insights.
Swimming demands more than physical stamina – it requires mental resilience. According to multiple world record-holder and extreme athlete Gábor Rakonczay, this challenge becomes most intense over longer distances. In the water, you move alone. There is no external feedback, no applause, no cheers – just the steady rhythm of movement and breath. What truly matters is perseverance. As a key partner of the 43rd LIDL Balaton Crossing, Yettel’s mobile network plays a unique role this year – helping the encouragement of loved ones reach swimmers even in the middle of the lake.
