“I was thinking of skipping the last two races, but because I found out there would be spectators, I wanted to get on and I want to go. After almost two years, when we were without spectators, I would be very happy to experience the atmosphere again. These are moments that will not be forgotten, “Sáblíková said in a recording for the media, pointing out that fans did not have access to the speed skating arenas in the current and last season. Or only in limited numbers, such as in Beijing.
Audience support is very important for a native of Nové Město na Moravě. “I’m not saying that we don’t do sports for ourselves and our nation, but we also do it for the spectators who stand behind us, and if they can, they will come to the stadium. That’s why I decided to complete the World Cup and World Cup,” explained Sáblíková .
Coach Petr Novák’s trustee is a five-time world champion in all-around, she was fourth in this discipline two years ago in Hamar, but this time she did not set any goals in front of her. By winning bronze on the 5,000-meter track at the Beijing Olympics, he has “fulfilled” this season and mainly wants to enjoy the final events.
“I am very happy that the badge was successful because we were preparing for it. It was the peak of the season. From the point of view of the Norwegian championship, I am glad to be able to compete here and I am part of the speed skating world. Sáblíková.
The Czech national team’s chances of success at the all-around World Championships will always be significantly affected by the opening five-hundred, on which Sáblíková will always lose to other favorites. In addition, she did not start at all on the shortest track this season. The last time the 500 was held last January was at the European Championships.
“You have to fight five hundred, because the loss you get there is hard for you. I was only preparing for three and five this year, so I don’t know at all what I can expect from it. This year’s doubles will be more challenging for me, but how I have already said, I have no ambitions here. I am glad to be able to race in front of the audience, which I look forward to, whether I go fast or slow.
Together with Sáblíková, junior Zuzana Kuršová will present herself at the World Championships. The second Czech Olympian Nikola Zdráhalová ended the season after the unsuccessful games in Beijing.
