Lukas Bauer Interview
Boží Dar, the place where top athletes will fight about the medals during FISU World University Championship Ski Orienteering, is also place, where live and train Lukáš Bauer. Legendary Czech cross-country skier – who has silver from the Winter Olympics in Torino, two bronze medals from the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, two silver from World championship in Czech and Sweden and gold medal for overall result of Word Cup and Tour de Ski. We ask him to tell us something about his experience with competition area.
Hello Lukas, since most of the races will take place at the Eduard sport area, I would like to know if you have any special or interesting memories of this place?
I participated in a lot of cross country skiing races at the Eduard spor area, especially as a junior. I was also trying biathlon for a while and took part in summer orienteering races. I live in the nearby village called Boží Dar, so I usually go thourg the area during running or mountain bike riding. And of course, sometimes in the summer I come for a short swim.
Which one is your favourite track around the village of Boží Dar?
As far as winter tracks are concerned, I like the public routes, which are a little easier at the Czech side of the Krušné moutains and a little more challenging at the German side. I also really like the 20 km long route starting at Boží Dar, leading around Špičák hill to the Barbora´s crossroad and then back through the Abertamy tracks and the Dead pond.
What is your favourite place in the whole region?
The advantage od Karlovy Vary region is a fact that everyone can find a suitable activity. From relaxing in Karlovy Vary or Jáchymov spa to historic places like Loket castle, Letohrádek in the town of Ostrov or local old mint. Sport lovers can enjoy Krušné mountains – skiing or crosscountry skiing during the winter, bike parks at Klínovec or Plešivec in the summer, water sports,… and much more!
If I remember well, you participated in the orienteering race which took place at the Eduard sport area few years ago – how did you enjoy it? How about participating in the ski-orienteering race as well?
Yes I did! It was exactly at the Eduard sport area and I really enjoyed it, even though knowing the local terrain didn´t help me, or at least not as much as I hoped. Let´s just say, orienteering runners are awesome. I like orienteering and I am trying to join the races as much as I have the opportunity. I haven´t tryied skiorienteering though, but I am open minded for it for the future.
Would you like to say something to the young university athletes?
I hope you all will enjoy the championship at the Eduard sport area, good luck and have fun!
