Tereza Petržilková

I didn't get into athletics until I was twenty, and until then I hadn't been fully involved in any sport, so the beginning was really difficult. It took about a year to learn the necessary discipline and to understand that if I want to achieve good results, I have to give a lot of training. After half a year of systematic training, I reached a performance that I set as a goal. Thanks to that, I gained a lot of motivation for further training and the following year I jumped to the forefront of the Czech top in the 400 m run.

I have been involved in athletics for seven years and I have participated in the World Championships, the World Indoor Championships, the European Games, and the European Team Championships. I regularly race in the extra league in Pilsen colors. I won several medals from the Czech championship in the 400 m run, three titles with a women's 4x400m relay, I set four regional records and won several sports awards.

My strongest memories are the Doha World Championship race alongside the third fastest woman in history in the 400m. The most beautiful memories include the atmosphere and the national record with a mixed relay at the European Games. Thanks to athletics, I can travel around the world, meet a lot of interesting people and the further I am on this journey, I am more grateful to Vašek Salcman for bringing me to the track.
