Vivian Tafuto: Elite 15 World Champion on Consistency, Racing Pressure & Playing the Long Game
Atalanta
Vivian Tafuto has quietly become one of the most consistent athletes in HYROX.
An Elite 15 regular and now Elite 15 Doubles World Champion alongside Lauren Weeks, Vivian has spent the last few seasons proving that success isn't built on one standout performance—it's built on showing up, race after race.
In this episode, we catch up after the World Championships to talk about the highs of winning a world title, the disappointment of her individual race, and why she's already looking ahead to what's next.
We also dive into the mindset that's helped her stay at the top of the sport, balancing training with a full-time career, racing alongside Lauren Weeks, and why confidence, patience and consistency matter more than chasing perfection.
We also discuss body image in elite sport, social media pressures, and why focusing on what your body can do will always outweigh how it looks.
Whether you're chasing your first HYROX or racing at the highest level, this conversation is packed with honest reflections and lessons from one of the sport's very best.
