International Triathlon Union

My family has a history in sport, and triathlon in particular. My father has been a seven-time triathlon champion within the Czech Republic, and placed fourth in the European Championships in 1991. My brother, Jakub, is one of the most talented swimmers in the country. My family has had the most influence on my sporting career.

I currently train in Brno, and during an average training week I spend six hours swimming, eight hours biking, and five hours running. My personal best swim time (1500m) is 17:20. I am in a project in liaison with the Czech Olympic Committee and McDonald’s: Olympic Hopefuls. My favorite ITU has been Hamburg, because it has the best spectator atmosphere. My triathlon goal is to participate in London 2012.
