The team competition, which is returning to the Czech capital after a long twelve years, promises a very attractive spectacle. “There is a really unbelievable backdrop for it,” says Markéta Šveňková, the sports director of these races.
Strong competition came to Prague. The Dutch Van der Vleuten, Debbueldam, Vrieling, the Austrian Kühner, the Swiss Schwizer or Ir Allen are not missing. Among the thirteen teams, Aleš Opatrný, Anna Kellnerová, Kamil Papoušek and Ondřej Zvára also fight for the top position among the thirteen teams. “It is amazing that our representatives will go to the Nations Cup at home. The atmosphere will be captivating during their rides, “adds Šveňková.

An attraction for all is the possibility of meeting the qualification limit for participation in the Olympic Games in Tokyo. The criteria are clear: in the Nations Cup, complete the first round for a maximum of four penalty points or the second for zero. In the Grand Prix, the riders need a clean ride.
“Having this chance at home is unique, because this year it will be one of the last CSIOs,” says Cautious, looking for a “full house”. Due to the coronavirus situation, the number of visitors is limited. A maximum of 1000 people can enter the galleries every day and the tickets go on sale quickly. There are about 100 tickets left for Friday’s program, the same number remains available on Sunday.
“Fifty to a hundred of them are sold every week this week,” said Jan Andrlík, chairman of the organizing committee, who has been working for eight weeks.
