Ledecká found herself among the nuns in Cortina

No five-star hotel in the center of Cortina, but the home of the voršilky is inhabited by Ester Ledecká at the World Championships. “The whole Czech team lives here,” describes coach Tomáš Bank in the room of the Orsoline Home, adapted for preparing skis.

“Normally it doesn’t work like a hotel here, originally this building was actually a school. But we offered the city that it could be used for accommodation, “describes one of the nuns from the order of voršilky working at the temporary reception. Other guests are served in the restaurant.

After all, the focus of the building is visible almost everywhere. Ester Ledecké’s servant Miloš Machytka laid out about fifteen pairs of top skis along the wall of the ski room, just above them is Jesus on the cross on the wall.

Other religious symbols are in the vicinity of the reception, although due to the disruption of one race after another, it looks as if St. Peter has sat on a skier. “There is also a chapel here, they hold masses every day. But I haven’t been yet, “Bank smiled.

For the Czech team, however, the location is essential and from the accommodation you can see directly to the ski slope Olympia delle Tofane, unless it is covered by fog as on Tuesday. And so the competitors quickly get to the training sessions and to the test center on covid-19, where all participants in the championship have to.

“It’s enough for the World Cups once, here we are going for the fourth time,” the Bank demonstrates the maximum efforts of the organizers to make the championship a success even during the pandemic.
