Bio
I was born in Banská Bystrica, a town in the heart of Slovakia. I started with cross-country skiing in the local klub TJ Malachov and when I became old enough (9 years) to shoot from air rifle I started with biathlon. After successful youth categories I got the chance to represent Slovakia and professional military sport club VŠC Dukla BB. These days I am a father of my little daughter Linda (b. 2013), which makes my life even more interesting. All my hobbies are somehow connected with active sport life, so if you think of any attractive sport, I am probably doing it (for example ski touring, rock climbing, adventure racing…). I am proud to be a part of this project in the role of the godfather and I hope you will enjoy Biathlon Mania!
