A member of the Czech national alpine ski team, she has not made a decision about which sport she will specialise in but she finds the mood is more positive at snowboard competitions. "In this sport there is a very friendly atmosphere, which I did not recognise in the ski world. All my opponents congratulated me warmly, without the slightest feeling of envy." (ihned.cz, 11 Mar 2013; idnes.cz, 27 Nov 2011)
MUSICAL TALENT
She can play the piano and has also played the bass guitar for her brother Janek's band. "They needed a stand-in. I knew a few songs, so I quickly learned their repertoire and I played with them." (ona.idnes.cz, 14 Oct 2012)
