Teen Zsombor Bujdosò Latest To Leave Shane Tusup’s Training Group

Another member of Shane Tusup’s training group will be saying ‘good-bye’, as 15-year-old Zsombor Bujdosò is leaving the ‘Olympic Darkhorse’ project.

Per Tusup’s Instagram announcement posted today, January 6th, the coach stated, “With the start of a new year comes some changes we would like to announce.

“Zsombor was the first to begin this journey with me, knowing it would not be an easy path. As a fifteen-year-old trying to balance his education and family life while trying to live the life of a professional athlete, you can imagine it hasn’t been easy emotionally, financially, or academically.

“As someone who values the importance of both family and education, I understand and support Zsombor’s decision to depart from the team. However, we will all miss him and wish him the best in both school and his swimming career. ”

Tusup’s highest-profile athlete, Ilaria Cusinato of Italy, had already departed the group after just 3 months into their collaboration.

Since then, Tusup has continued to work with Liliana Szilagyi of Hungary and Wojciech Wojdak of Poland, while Brazilian Naná Almeida also now appears to be a member of the now-Eger, Hungary-based squad.

Shane is a great coach. He’s just very intense. If swimmers stick to his training plan, which is hard to do, they will have incredible success in the pool.

Olympic Rings and the Trojan tattoo. Devalues both.

Never heard of a coach getting the rings tattoo. Should be reserved for… you know, Olympians.

I think tusap deserves the rings as i believe it was a symbolic part of his life, coaching katinka to Olympic success. It was his relentless mission at the time. I see it that way. I don’t like or dislike tusap

Probably an old question but does anyone know where Ilaria is training after the “breakup” a few months back?

I give that kid credit for sticking around as long as he did. I felt sorry for him when he had to watch Tusup and Ilaria flirt and/or yell at each other
