Game Changers: Incredible Stories of Resilience in Sports
Olympic and College Swimmer Reka Gyorgy - Episode 35
Réka Gyorgy is not just an incredible swimmer; she’s a trailblazer. As a Hungarian Olympian who competed in Rio 2016 and a standout collegiate athlete at Virginia Tech, she’s a 2-time ACC Champion, 2-time All-American, and 7-time Honorable Mention All-American. Now, as Virginia Tech’s Director of Operations, she’s channeling her passion for the sport into leadership.
But what truly sets Réka apart is her courage. She was the first collegiate athlete to publicly challenge the NCAA’s policy on transgender athletes, calling for transparency and fairness in college sports. Her leadership sparked a movement, and she’s now part of a group of former and current athletes suing the NCAA and Georgia Tech over these policies.
Tune in to hear Réka’s powerful story of resilience and advocacy.
