For anyone in the environment, he knows that Ondrey Cink he is preparing the world championship with all of himself: after the great season of 2021 with several podiums in the World Cup and 3rd in general, his great goal is the world champion.

Too bad for the Tokyo Olympics: the Czech athlete was fighting for a medal when he broke the rear circle and was forced to retire. Here is her post in which all the disappointment of an athlete who trains a life for a goal and sees it fail due to an unfortunate event, knowing that perhaps the opportunity will never return since in 4 years your body can suffer a physiological decline. It is not easy mentally to recover from these situations. PS: I recommend Google Translate if you don't know Czech 🙂

The Czechoslovakian athlete started this 2022 a bit quietly but in Leogang grabbed a 14th place finish and won the international Maja Wloszczowska MTB Race earlier this month. And from there he left for 15 days in Livigno.

VALUES

Ondrej Cink performed 15 days on the high ground covering about 1000km for 48h of work and 24.340m of elevation gain! It must be emphasized that the Czech is working a lot of quality (with lots of pace change jobs) and has only brought with him the MTB (not the road bike) so necessarily the mileage cannot be exaggerated as on the Road bike.

Here are in detail all the outputs and the hardly sustainable pace for those who do not have an engine like Cink. Often the outings are then combined with exercises in the gym in the afternoon.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
