Zsombor Deak

Zsombor attended several running, duathlon and triathlon races since high school. He had some very outstanding results both nationally and internationally. Then he moved to Australia and attended his first world cup as an adult, professional triathlete. On his very first Ironman 70.3, he finished in 4th place (Ironman 70.3 TAIWAN). Since then, he attends 6-10 World Cups (Ironman, Challenge Family, ITU) a year, usually ranking in the top 10. He travels all year round spending his winters training and racing in Australia and Asia. He loves exotic places and always looks for challenges. In 2016 he founded his own brand, the “IDEAL with Challenges” to motivate his followers with his life-story. He achieved everything with hard work and perseverance, thus his motto is: "Dream big, achieve more!" He is vegetarian since the age of 3.

Zsombor grew up in Sfântu Gheorghe, Romania. He was a very energetic boy and also has been a vegetarian since the age of 3. Soon he realised he is able to run and exercise much more than his peers. At age 14 he moved to Hungary to continue his studies at the Nyíregyházi Vasvári Pál Gimnázium Sports School. While in high school, a friend introduced him to triathlon. It was love at first sight. Zsombor completed his studies in 2011 in Cluj-Napoca at Babeş-Bolyai University. He was keen on further developing his sports career, so he moved to Australia in 2013.
