Sporting relatives:

Her uncle is opera singer Andras Palerdi. (Andras Palerdi Opera Singer Facebook page, 04 Jan 2016)

She had a back injury in the early part of 2020. (eurilca.org, 30 Apr 2020; boon.hu, 10 Feb 2020)

She began sailing at primary school. "Our school had an agreement with the local sailing club. Twice a week we had the chance to play around with different boats. For a long time I wasn't really serious about sailing, it was more like a hobby that I enjoyed a lot. I only started sailing more seriously in 2012 when I was 14. That was the year when I got introduced to the Laser and competed in my first sailing regatta." (laserinternational.org, 19 Feb 2018; marierdi.com, 15 May 2016; laserista.com, 15 Jan 2016)

"I enjoyed it from the very first moment and never wanted to stop after. I wanted to sail as much as I could." (laserista.com, 15 Jan 2016)

To win a medal at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (marierdi.com, 15 May 2016; hunsail.hu, 09 May 2016)

"I sail six days a week and do four to six cardio sessions and three gym sessions." (eurilca.org, 30 Apr 2020)

Philosophy:

"My main philosophy is to never give up. If you fail, if you make mistakes, draw the conclusion, and work on the steps to improve. Occasional bad results make me work even harder and make me even more motivated. I want to be the best so I do whatever it takes to achieve my goals." (marierdi.com, 12 Jul 2020)

She was named Female Sailor of the Year in Hungary in 2013 and 2019. (marierdi.com, 12 Jul 2020; hajozas.hu, 26 Nov 2019)

SAILING LASER
She chose to compete in the Laser Radial class because she could not find a crewmate to sail with. "I wanted to start competing and it didn't really work out in the 420 as I couldn't find anyone to sail with. At the beginning of 2012, I still didn't know what a Laser was, the only thing I knew about it was that it's sailed by one person. No one sails in my family so we didn't know anything about the sport. I still remember my first training session in the boat. It was a very old boat with old control systems, but of course I didn't know this at that time. The first time I sailed the Laser was 31 March 2012 and I have been in love with the boat ever since."
