Born 1978

I took my first walking steps in the nineties of the last century and the first start in the MČR žactva in 1993 in the hall meant winning the title. In the summer, the title was not awarded to me due to lack of registration, but the annoyance of this situation meant that I signed up to walk.

A whole series of championship medals in different age categories, representative starts came. In 2000, we were the last Czech champion in the 10 km (49:33) on the then demanding Poděbrady track, then the 2000-somethings started going around in the Czech lands as well. In 1, I also became the first Czech woman with a sub 40:00:20 time for XNUMX km, which allowed me to start at the EP in a team with Czech walking legend Dana Vavřačová.

Then work duties came, but I followed the Czech walk with interest. After returning to the Czech Republic, I joined Jan Rein's team in 2021, when this unbeatable and unfortunately underappreciated organizer accepted me into the party for the "Poděbrady team". At the turn of 2022/2023, I wrote the first article for Smola chůze after it became clear that Dr. Brandejský would most likely not write any more articles about Czech races. Like Jan Rein before him, walking lover Josef Smola accepted the helping hand without reservation.

I became a member of AC Rumburk and it is an honor to cooperate with those walking fools in the organization of the race in Zittau. I also appreciate the fact that I was able to contribute to Pep's Prague Clock in the last two years, and I look forward to the next years. I then go out for sports in a jersey with pride"Smola chůze".

I like those who play fair.

Born 17.7. 1964 in Prague,

active competitor, sponsor, race organizer Pražská chodecká hodinovka, founder of the association SMOLA CHŮZE zs

The goal is medals at the Veteran World and European Championships, breaking personal records and thus yourself and sports philosophy is given: "It's not important to win, but to behave well."

He started walking at the age of fifteen in AC Prague (1979-1988) with the legendary coach Josef Průcha, then moved to Red Star Prague (today's Olymp Prague), where he worked in 1988-1995 at the Center for Top Sports as a sports instructor and achieved the following results :
Champion of the Czech Republic: 1988 and 1989 in walking at 50km, 1990 in walking at 20km.
Champion of Switzerland: 1990 in walking on 100km 9: 40.16h
Represented in 3 international matches
He ended his career as a top athlete in 1995 at the Walking World Cup in Beijing, China, on a 50km walk.

In the years 1996 - 2009 he only sporadically engaged in walking and only occasionally took part in walking races with essentially no training. This corresponds to the weight achieved at that time, well over 100 kg ………
In 2009, however, he meets the very active and successful veteran pedestrian Czech-American Zdenek Gonsiorovský (born 1941), who reawakens his appetite and will for a hard and systematic walking training.
Only such training based on the limit of self-sacrifice and great will can bring great results and performances, and these really come naturally, but only after almost nine years of this hard and unreal hard work.

Since 2010, he has been taking part in the first big veteran races, namely the 20km walk of the European Championships in Nyiregyhaz, Hungary, followed every year by the veteran World or European Championships, and sometimes there is a bonus in the form of a medal!
