“I’m good at forgetting unpleasant situations and pain. Recently, my husband told me that it’s great that I can walk now, when a year ago I was in a wheelchair. Thanks to him, I realize things that are not obvious,” says snowboarder Eva Adamczyková about her experiences with severe injuries. When she broke both ankles, she feared she would never ride again. “It was terrible,” he recalls.

“I remember the feeling of gratitude at the start before the final run, when I just had to smile and say to myself: It’s just great that I can actually stand here,” Eva Adamczyková describes her start at the World Championships after recovering from fractures both ankles.
She suffered an injury in 2021, today she is not only fully training and competing, but is even preparing to compete as a dancer with other well-known personalities in the TV dance competition StarDance. “On a snowboard, you adapt to the profile of the track, here to the music. It’s important that you feel the rhythm,” he reveals what dancing has in common with riding a “board”.
In the interview, Adamczyková, who fans also know by her last name Samková, also talks about how the current climate change affects winter sports. The visible problem is not only the lack of snow, which affects the quality of the tracks. For example, in Norway they even banned the use of waxes with fluorine, which are an important supplement for athletes, because of the environmental impact.
And the athlete perceives the effects of the crisis on herself. “Just a few years ago, I had an environmental spleen. You feel that everything is completely unnecessary. But I had to find a way to cope with it and tell myself that since I was born and I live this life here, I have to to enjoy it somehow,” he explains in the interview.
The Olympic champion also speaks openly about the death of her parents, which she had to deal with at a young age. “What I perceive here in Europe, or rather in the Czech Republic, is that we don’t want to talk about it. That it’s not a nice thing, that it doesn’t belong in everyday life. But talking about it really helps me,” he says about what tragic life experience taught her. “Of course there are situations when I feel sorry for it, but it is part of my life,” she adds, adding that she would like to see the topic of dying no longer a taboo in society.
