For most athletes and coaches after the glued-in summer season, it was difficult to consider where to go for (perhaps) pre-Olympic preparation. This year, a question mark is hovering over the traditional South African destination of most Czech athletes.
“As athletes, we are not used to improvising so much, we usually know that we are going to Africa in January, for example. It is not possible to plan for a long time now, which is challenging for the psyche, “the two-time world champion does not hide on the obstacles on Thursday.

However, there are exceptions among athletes, for whom changes in the plan do not pose a problem. For example, Špotáková… “As children I have, I am used to improvising and it is not so difficult,” reports the mother of sons Janka and Darka. “And I am also alone with the coach, in which I have the advantage that we are more flexible than large groups,” recalls Jan Tylče’s trustee.

“I don’t like to train alone for a long time. It is difficult to force oneself mentally, “reacts Hejnová, who will use sparring partners more for running. The 33-year-old obstacle course has not given up on the idea of a South African campsite at the turn of the year. “But if you can’t fly there, there are also variants in Europe,” he does not lean on the way to Potchefstroom.
Špotáková would not be going to the south of Africa even if it were not for the current pandemic, long South African camps have never grown to her heart.
“Most athletes now go to the Canary Islands, just like the two of us. After the New Year, I count on Portugal and Turkey. Everything is reserved, so hopefully it will work out, “believes the world javelin record holder.
