MIALUIS TALKS – EPISODE 1
Guest: Vittoria Bussi
We’re launching Mialuis Talks with a story that is powerful, clear, and deeply human.
Vittoria Bussi is an extraordinary athlete: three-time holder of the UCI Hour Record in track cycling (50.267 km in 2018 – then surpassed in 2023 and 2025 with 50.455 km). But before anything else, she’s a brilliant mind with a PhD in mathematics from the University of Oxford.
🎧 In this conversation, she shares how she approached a world-class challenge the same way one proves a theorem:
with discipline, precision, perseverance, and sacrifice.
She designed the entire project herself:
aerodynamics, training, fundraising, building her team.
And she did it with a clear and scientific mindset:
“My approach to sport is scientific.
I wrote the Hour Record as a mathematical formula before I even achieved it.”
What strikes you most is her radically independent approach.
No big sponsors, no team. Just her, her body, and her willpower.
She transformed a mathematical project into a profoundly human endeavor.
Vittoria made personal and family sacrifices —
and that’s exactly what makes her real.
When asked if she sees herself as an “invisible heroine,” she rejects the label.
That’s where our idea of accessibility comes in: doing extraordinary things with ordinary means.
With humanity. With authenticity.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- how to build a world record starting from an equation
- how body and mind can journey together toward an impossible goal
- how knowledge and resilience can become tools for real change
- and why listening to stories like these can truly make a difference
