there is a page about Tomas in today's newspaper magazine Ona Dnes
tried to translate it so here it is:
Autoportrait
Tomas Verner - immediately sympathic guy
The lightness of the jumps and the grace of the dance, both combined with athletic skills - that is the current European champion in figure skating.
On the ice it looks so easy - one can say, that he was already born with skates. The reality is far more prosaic - he's been skating 'just' since the age of 5. In one of his interviews he describes how as a little boy he considered it to be a big adventure - the everdays way from bed to bathroom with closed eyes, he opened them not until the run for bus station, where from he, his brother and mom went for the training. Behind his european title there are thousends of hours of trainings and maybe millions of falls. The one in 2005, when he dislocated his leg and got broken some bones in ankle, might have ended his ice career. For the upcoming European championships he trains at both places - Prague and Oberstdorf, where he has his sparing partner. When he is not on the ice, is not travelling or not competing, he studies 3th year of extramurual study of coaching at FTVS (faculty of sports). He plans to study some more years yet, tho he wants to finish the grades in time.
Fast questionaire...
HORSE x motorbike
salad x STEAK
MOUNTAINS x sea
BEATLES x Rolling Stoles
Angelina Jolie x MERYL STREEP
SPORT x theater
beer x wine
My favourite...
MOVIE - The Bucket List - I personally can't imagine better coast for both the main characters. I love movies i can think about after they are over, and i love to laugh.
THING - laptop - being abroad it allows me to be in contact with family, friends and brings me news about what is going on in the world
BOOK - Catch XXII - At high school I had homework to find some parallel to Hašek's Švejk (The Good Soldier Švejk) in a world's literature. So i get to Heller and although it was a homework, i had fun.
PLACE - Borovany - I feel good wherever...with friends. When i am alone, then it's my bed at home in Borovany.
"I travel a lot, and so more than about the place i care about who i share it with." Tomas Verner
