Journalists in the field sometimes have to deal with various distractions, both natural and human. In this case, fortunately, there were laughable moments. Before Sunday’s women’s under-23 race at the cyclocross world championship, reporter Mejtský tried to convey the stormy atmosphere to Czech TV viewers.
“Sober estimates say that there should be 60,000 spectators here today who are going to drink half a million liters of beer,” Mejtský began his introduction with these words, and in a moment it became clear that a significant portion of the estimated amount of alcohol consumed The fans tried with all their might to get into the footage of the TV camera and literally besieged the reporter.

One of the French supporters hugged Mejtský and kissed him several times on the cheek. At that moment, the reporter was talking about the fact that in the upcoming race the Czechia will rely on Kristýna Zemanová, who could be thinking about fifth place. However, the 19-year-old Czech athlete exceeded expectations and won the bronze medal.
The exuberant atmosphere around the Czech TV reporter grew. The French fans were in such euphoria from the triumph of Léo Bisiaux in the junior category that the “kisser” known to the spectators could not hold back any longer and planted a good kiss on Mejtský’s mouth until it clicked. he probably won’t be able to pass on the information and rather ended the entry.
