Current AffairsŠpotáková looking forward to working more closely with javelin legend Železný after injury-blighted season
The reigning Olympic javelin champion Barbora Špotáková came first in
the international Diamond League this year, but could only manage bronze at
the European Championships in Barcelona. Following a season blighted by
injuries, the 29-year-old announced last month she was parting
company with her trainer – and planning to work with javelin legend Jan
Železný. When I spoke to Špotáková this week, I asked the athletics
star if it was true there had been a link between her training schedule and
her injury problems.

Current AffairsHašek to manage national soccer team

unusual but necessary step: in addition to his current responsibilities,

Africa in 2010 - unless someone turns it fortunes around. It is hoped that
Hašek, a highly-respected former player and coach, could be the right man
for the post.
