Jakub Podrazil, who was supposed to be a member of the elite Dukla crew, already indicated possible problems with the weekend start this afternoon. In recent days, five of his planned partners have come into contact with a person who has tested positive for covid-19 at the shipyard. In the evening, it was already clear that the representatives will be missing from the start in large crews. They can only start on a skiff, which, for example, is planned by Ondřej Synek.

At eight, especially university, there are representatives with people from universities. Already, one boy from the under-23 national team is positive at Dukla the other two are out. We agreed with the ace that they will not go at all for preventive reasons, “national team coach Jakub Makovička told ČTK. For example, Lenka Antošová and Kristýna Fleissnerová will not be able to sit in university octaves.
