Where did you start?
In the canoe section in Hradec Králové under the leadership of Jaromír Indruch and Jirka Karlovský. Although we rode on flat water, they taught us the love of the sport and at the same time how to make the right move at the goal, plucking both is the most valuable thing they could pass on to me.

Why do you ride on water?
I have always been close to sports and simply love riding on the water and the state of total relaxation.

What is the best and worst part of training?
The best is when the training starts, because I always look forward to it, and maybe it will sound like a cliché, but I really like every training session. The worst thing is changing clothes in inclement weather. :/
