"Strength does not derive from physical abilities, but from an indomitable will"
Mahatma Ghandy
Today I want to talk about a beautiful world cycling reality: Kata Blanka Vas.
Very young Hungarian 20 years old, born in Bucharest cyclo-cross racer, road racer and MTB biker enrolled in the Specialized team. She under 23 in 2020 she was vice world champion in the cyclo-cross disciplines and in the cross country. This little girl because we are really talking about a very young girl, she is a rough diamond ready to explode and Red Bull has already thrown their hands on this phenomenon and has included it in their stable. Let's not forget that this wren earned a fourth place at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics in country, crazy!
Red bull has MTB among its countless favorite disciplines, super active in promotion and coverage of every activity with fat wheels, especially the world championship, which is the highlight of the year. In 2021 the little Hungarian flying girl at the young age of 19 and without ever competing at the Elitè level obtains a stunning result, a fourth place that she knows of legend, coming just from the podium with a glorious final lap. This is to say that we should put this girl in her prediction notebooks soon given her boundless talent.
No victory in the XCO world cup, the best result a 2nd place always behind another phenomenon Mona Mittelwallner one year younger than her. Kata will finish in 5th place in the U23 XCO category standings and conquer the overall Hungarian championship.
Kata is multidisciplinary, like many world cycling champions, this year also a success in the cyclocross discipline in the world cup at Overjise and two other podiums. 12 races so far on the wonderful cyclocross mud, a retirement in the legendary stage of Namur and his worst result this season is an eighth place.
Multidisciplinary therefore on the road kata is part of the SdWorx team sponsored by SPECIALIZED, it placed 4th at the Elitè world championship, just a few seconds from the podium. She is the Hungarian champion in the line and also in the time trial. Youth and a lot of brilliance adaptable to every surface and specialty, this is what made Red Bull take home her performance.
Certainly for kata such a sponsor with athletes of the caliber of Kate Courtney, Yana Belomoyna, Ferrand-Prevot, Emily Batty, in short, the galaxy of world MTB. I wait for the season to restart and I know that this terrible girl can be counted on, I can't wait to see her fight for the victory.
Cheering for you kata .. push pushh baby ..
