ZOH 2022 | Alpine skier Nová and jumper Rýdl have joined the Olympic nomination

Nová joined the Ester Ledecká, Martina Dubovská, Barbora Nováková and Eles Sommerová. She should race in downhill, super-giant slalom and alpine combination. “I was surprised by the nomination. I thought that all the vacancies had already been redistributed. I am all the happier that it ended up. The Olympics have been my dream since childhood, it is a reward for all the hard work. I want there “The main goal is to be satisfied with myself and my performances after the race. It will be a great experience, I can’t wait to experience it first hand,” said the 23-year-old.

The team of ski jumpers has expanded by one place. The four-year-old Roman Koudelka, Čestmír Kožíšek, Viktor Polášek and Filip Sakala were completed by 20-year-old Rýdl. “It all happened very quickly. When I left for the training camp in Planice, the coach told me to take the Olympic skis, that I was flying to Beijing with them,” said the young man, who recently made his debut in the World Cup race in Zakopane. “It is a huge opportunity for me and also an experience. I will go to the Olympics with the utmost respect and I will want to show the best I can. Now it is important to train well, and most importantly to stay healthy,” he added.

The participation of the cross-country skier Diana Cholenská, who tore the front cruciate ligament in her knee after falling at the World Cup in mid-January, is still uncertain. The final decision on her trip to Beijing should be made after the weekend.
