Mountains are a challenge. When you are under them, they motivate you to climb up to the summit. Once you reach the summit, you are looking forward to racing down.

My story

Thanks to the fact that my parents have always been sporty, I had the chance to literally grow up at the highest mountain in Beskydy mountains, Czech Republic. That is why mountains and sports are both my biggest interest and hobby. In winter, I go skiing on every possible type of skies, except the jumping ones, in summer, I enjoy riding a mountain bike. I also like going running or take a stroll in the mountains. I started Cross Country mountain biking in early youth categories. I am a Junior Czech Champion in MTB half marathon and a multiple Academic Champion in Extreme Relay Race. I graduated from Bachelor’s degree in Sports management at VŠB-TU Ostrava, Czech Republic.

I am a rider of an Italian mountain bike team Bike World which focuses on stage races. These races are a combination of travelling, nature, sport and team cooperation, and belongs amongst the toughest but also most beautiful sport disciplines full of emotions. I got fully engaged in this particular discipline after my participation in Epic Israel Race.
