"My uncle rowed at VK Bohemians Prague [Czech Republic] and he introduced me and my siblings to the sport. My sister and I started rowing there, and my other sister, my twin, also rowed, but had to quit. At home, we always talked about rowing and all about sports. My aunt was at the Olympics in swimming, my uncle in modern pentathlon, we are really a sporting family." (ceskatelevize.cz, 08 Jul 2021)

LATE REPLACEMENT
He was called up to the Czech team for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo as a replacement for Ondrej Synek, who was forced to pull out of the Games due to health reasons in June 2021. "It was an incredible rush of emotions. But at the same time I'm sorry about Ondra. I feel a lot of pressure, huge. I'd rather qualify myself, and not by Ondra announcing that he won't go. But I'll take it all in and show off my best. I hope to overtake as many opponents as possible. It won't turn out badly. I want to come back feeling good."
