One on One Czech kayaker discusses Olympic silver medal, new-found fame
Vavřinec Hradilek
Vávra Hradílek was the first athlete from the Czech National team to
clinch a medal at the XXX Summer Olympic Games in London this year. The
kayaker, who has a vibrant personality and is both thoughtful and sharp on
issues, discusses what it was like to win silver, as well as how he hopes
to use his new-found fame. I began by asking him how he was dealing with
all the media interest.
