Sport Specific Information |
Why this sport? |
"I was always up for long distance even when it was in the swimming pool. The turning point was changing coach to Tobias [Zdenek]. I started to train with a group of boys and we were raising the number of kilometres [we swam at training], trying 5km. I qualified for the European and world championships and I found that open water swimming in long distance suits me." |

RETIREMENT She had not competed since she gave birth to her first daughter Terezka in 2017 and announced her retirement in 2020. "My last race was in 2016. I knew then that my body would no longer allow me to continue with this sport, in my head was, 'I'm done'. Being pregnant was a kind of deliverance for me. Soon, in May 2020, my husband and I are expecting a second addition, so it is clear. Every day I see our little daughter and my mind and body change in pregnancy, I feel a naturalness that no success can replace. You may win something [in sports], but in time it goes away."
