Her family was involved in the sport. "I started with my parents. There was no races, it was mainly for fun. I was on the water before I learned how to walk. I also did a lot of other sports with my siblings because we were a very sporty family. We skated, and in the winter we went skiing and snowboarding, I tried everything. I had friends who went kayaking and slalom paddling just suited me." (sportvokoli.cz, 19 Sep 2017; usp.cz, 06 Apr 2012)

TOUGH TIMES
Since the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, she has had surgery to remove cancer cells and has lost several family members. "I have had few worse years. A lot of things happened in my personal life, so it was hard. Whenever I thought it was over, something else happened. My grandmother died and then, after about a month, so did my husband's grandfather and later his grandmother. After the Rio Olympics, I found out I had cancer cells. I had to go to surgery. And my results were very poor." She said in mid-2020 that working with a sports psychologist helped her return to form after the difficult period. "I think I've got it together now. The psychologist helped me by talking about things. I can now stay calm and I know how to approach a race." (idnes.cz, 20 Sep 2020; irozhlas.cz, 03 Aug 2020)
