Katinka Hosszú

In this episode, Katie and Elizabeth Beisel sit down with 3x Olympic gold medalist, 26x World Champion, 7x world record holder, and Hungarian swimming legend Katinka Hosszú! They dive into the mindset shifts that turned her into the “Iron Lady,” how learning to lose became her secret weapon, and the moment a fourth-place finish changed everything. Katinka opens up about the grind before Rio, why “balance” didn’t exist in her world, and the surprising truth about how it really feels to win Olympic gold. She also shares powerful reflections on identity, confidence, and what it takes to dominate on the world stage. ----- DONATE TO GARY HALL JR: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-gary-hall-jr-after-devastating-fire ----- DONATE TO EMILY KLUEH: https://www.gofundme.com/f/4sdbz-support-emilys-battle-against-cancer ----- Subscribe and watch full video episodes on YouTube, and follow us on social media (@unfilteredwaterspodcast) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week. ----- FOLLOW KATIE: Instagram TikTok ----- FOLLOW MISSY: Instagram TikTok ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Endless Pools: Go to https://endlesspools.com/unfiltered for $1000 OFF your pool. ----- PRODUCED BY: Lagos Creative
