About
Dániel Török has been a triathlete since 1992, part of the first generation in Hungary to train systematically for triathlon from childhood. He raced out of his hometown, Tiszaújváros, became European duathlon champion in 2004 and a many-time Hungarian champion, and raced the World Cup circuit for Hungary through 2012, with 57 international starts recorded by World Triathlon. Of the three sports, cycling and running are his favourites.
Today he lives in Törökbálint, near Budapest, where he is the professional director of the Tuttobici-Bottecchia sports club and coaches triathlon and running for young and adult athletes alike. "I love inspiring others, helping, and passing on my experience," he says, and he shares nearly thirty years of it with athletes of every age.
He also works for the Hungarian Triathlon Federation (Magyar Triatlon Szövetség) and commentates World Triathlon events on Hungarian television. He still races himself: trail runs, the Valencia Marathon and the SGRAIL100 swim, gravel and trail race in Girona.
