About me

Growing up in Slovakia, I was always out skiing, cycling, mountain biking, playing tennis, etc. I absolutely love racing. My attitudes, goals, aims and almost all I do is somehow connected to it.

Individual’s life is, however, a journey. TOKYO 2020 is now a memory. Paris 2024 is the new journey and GOLD is the goal.

The ultimate goal is to show the world that everything is possible when a human being is willing to push the limits and says yes to life’s challenges. My ambition is to be the first Para cyclist
on the podiums of international cycling races
with non-disabled racers.

Skiing, my love

Skiing is just like being in love. Skies are butterflies on my feet that take me to uncharted teritories whenever I put them on. Once hooked, always ready to go again, never wanting to stop and willing to ride all the way.
