Well, may be true but you must also look at this case from different perspective as a classic dual citizen. Czech mom German father. ok, living in GER since her childhood, learnt the sport there competed for Germany until PC 2018, but she never denied her czech origins. In opposite she was always proud of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In opposite she was always proud of it. Oh there's absolutely nothing wrong with her representing the Czech Republic, frankly it's also good for the sport. The point is just that the Czech Republic didn't suddenly develop a strong skeleton program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
