Dear friends of sport,

having met the qualifying standards, 28 Czech representatives have been nominated for the IAAF World Championships in Moscow. I am pleased that a large team consisting of promising young athletes is ready for the peak of this year’s athletic season. The course of the season, excellent performances of the key team members at the Diamond League and other major Czech and international meetings and the victory of the national representation at the European Team Championships in the 1st league are a promise of success-

ful results in the capital city of Russia. believe Czech athletes will succeed at the Grand Sports Arena of the Luzhniki Olympic Complex. Each of them will fight to their limits and I wish they are satisfied with their own performance after the world championship is over. I also hope the whole team has the best experience from this year’s top event.

did you know? With regard to sports, Michal started with table tennis the first two years at the elementary school. Then he played tennis for eight years but he quit due to financial reasons (he only grew up with his mother). In the fifth grade he went to a sports class, which also focused on athletics. He developed his passion for athletics at the stadium in his hometown Opava and with his friend-neighbour they practiced „combined events” in the garden, threw cobblestones and jumped on a rod into sacks of hay. In his leisure time after the season is finished he likes going to the mountains (climbing, kiting, ski alpinism). He studies graphic design and photography at the Michael College in Prague. He has had a dog (Jim) for five years, a ridgeback without pedigree.
