László Cseuz once again testified to his perseverance and willpower, which puts young people to shame. The 80-year-old retired physical education teacher, who has cycled to every Summer Olympics site since 1992, covered 2,000 kilometers in 16 days to get from Szentes to Paris for the 2024 Olympics.  

"I cried in Paris"

Since 1992, László has cycled to every location of the Summer Olympics, so he was present at 8 Olympics in 32 years. The one in Tokyo was missed due to the coronavirus epidemic, instead he cycled 7,000 kilometers at home.

I cried in Paris, and I cried in Szentes

- began László to Metropol, who is very proud that despite all the difficulties he managed to cycle to the site of the 2024 Olympics.

Her children helped her

His children, Cinti and Laci, helped him navigate and book accommodation, and his daughter and son took turns contacting him by phone. The 80-year-old sportsman admitted that the climbs were the biggest challenge for him and that he often got lost. In the end, he decided that he would come home no longer by bicycle, but by plane.

"I covered 243 km more than planned due to my getting lost. Both of my children worked incredibly hard for me to be successful. I'm sure it wouldn't have worked without them. They planned the trip exactly, they looked for accommodation, and they took turns keeping in constant contact with me. I caused them a lot of trouble, I also hindered their daily work"

"Laziness is not my world"

Uncle Laci told Metropol that he rests for a few days after returning home, but then he starts playing sports again, goes swimming and, of course, hops on a bike. However, due to his age, he no longer wants to participate in more Olympics.

"I go swimming regularly, as I did before, and I will also go cycling, even if I no longer go for long distances. I don't want to stop playing sports, I always have to do something. I also have an exercise bike, if there is a snowstorm or a thunderstorm, I can still do sports. Laziness is not my world"'

László Cseuz concluded his words.
