Sport specific information
When and where did you begin this sport?
She took up athletics at age 15 in Prague, Czech Republic. She began competing in Para athletics in 2013.
Why this sport?
"My gym teacher said I should try athletics. At that time I told him I would not do anything like that. A few years later, I decided to try to run. I did not want to be just at home all the time, and I was playing with the idea of starting some kind of sport. I remembered the advice of my gym trainer and entered the club. And I stayed there, it started to entertain me."
