Conditions became more and more complicated with time, the training of biathlon representatives on the Austrian glacier was not optimal. “Gradually it got worse and worse, we drove where possible,” says assistant coach Jiří Holubec for biatlon.cz after the first training of the Czech team in the snow.

The Czech selections spent more than two weeks in Ramsau. The men went home on Friday, the women on Wednesday. They also had improvisation behind them. “We even missed one skiing and preferred to do a quality training down on roller skis,” Holubec outlines for the federal website.
However, if it snows on the glacier again in the foreseeable future, it is possible that the Czechs will return there during the preparation. But planning trips abroad is still difficult in the current situation …
This week, the representatives will be preparing in Jablonec nad Nisou. The summer championship of the Czech Republic in Letohrad awaits them at the weekend.
So far, Eva Kristejn Puskarčíková, who left Austria prematurely due to suspected borreliosis, will experience only a gradual return to training. She received antibiotics, and tests confirmed the disease.
“There is a lot more time until the first races, so I hope that the training failure will not be so terrible,” says the competitor
According to Holubec, she took antibiotics and starts training freely. “I believe she will get away with it soon, but she just didn’t need a training break,” the assistant adds.
