YC DIM Bezdrev [Czech Republic]

He took up the sport at age 12 at the Lipno Dam in the Czech Republic. (budejovice.rozhlas.cz, 24 Mar 2020)

"I started to go there just for fun. I was really excited about the sport, so I started to wonder what the chance would be to compete in it. Coincidentally, the Czech Republic Championship was held at Lipno at that time, so I applied and got my first contacts." (budejovice.rozhlas.cz, 24 Mar 2020)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (karel-lavicky.cz, 24 Mar 2020)

He trains for about four hours a day. (ceskatelevize.cz, 30 Apr 2016)

Portuguese windsurfer Joao Rodrigues. (budejckadrbna.cz, 06 Jul 2011)

Philosophy:

"To travel is to arrive." (NOC, 19 Jul 2012)

He was named 2019 Yachtsman of the Year in a poll by the Czech Sailing Association. (karel-lavicky.cz, 06 Mar 2020, sailing.cz, 07 Mar 2020)

He was named Master of the Czech Republic in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2015. (karel-lavicky.cz, 24 Mar 2020)

General Interest

General
INLANDER IN SAILING
He faced disadvantage in training because Czech Republic is an inland country that doesn't have seas to train. "I chose such a sport, so I have to adapt to it. I go to my colleagues, mostly to Spain, where there is a relatively large training group. (budejovice.rozhlas.cz, 24 Mar 2020)

PHYSICAL STRENGTH
He is 192cm tall which is beneficial for this sport. However, he has faced problems maintaining an ideal weight. "One of the best racers is high, the only problem is to maintain weight. The heavier you are, the slower the board goes in the low wind, so the ideal weight is about 75kg, which is harder to maintain at this height." (budejovice.rozhlas.cz, 24 Mar 2020)
