Interview with Viktor Hald Thorup, Olympic silver medallist and elite speed skater. Viktor shares how focusing on the smallest performance details, from recovery and nutrition to training and sleep, helped him gain the marginal advantages that make the difference at the highest level of sport.
“It’s surreal to feel such a clear impact from a single supplement.”
When it comes to performance at the highest level, every second counts. That’s why Danish speedskater and Olympian Viktor Thorup pays attention to every detail — from nutrition and training to recovery and sleep. Here’s what he had to say about his experience with Unbroken:
"Having worked for over a decade on improving every possible detail of my performance, from nutrition to training, sleep, and recovery, it’s pretty surreal to experience such a clear impact from a single supplement.
Since starting with Unbroken, my lactate recordings have been significantly lower in both skating and cycling sessions, which has made a real difference in endurance. In simple terms, I’m able to go longer at high speed before hitting the wall. That’s exactly the kind of margin that matters when a few seconds can decide an Olympic podium.
What’s even more exciting is that I recorded my fastest speeds deep into a training block, something I’ve never managed before. Normally fatigue builds up, but instead I felt fresh enough to keep pushing, and the data backed it up.
I test a lot of supplements and usually temper my expectations, but with Unbroken the benefits have been consistent, measurable, and very real. I’m honestly excited to see just how much of a difference it will make when the racing season starts."
