Panorama Musher Jana Henychová on dog sledding and Finnmarkslopet – the world’s northern-most race
Last month Czech dog sled racer Jana Henychová made history by becoming the first female foreign national to take part in Norway’s Finnmarkslopet, the world’s northern-most race: 1,000 kilometres in tough conditions and tough terrain. She completed the race in eight days, earning enormous respect from both fellow mushers and locals. And, even though she finished last, five others (out of a total of 36 racers) did not finish at all. This week Jana Henychová, who lives in northern Bohemia with her 23 huskies, stopped by Czech Radio to talk about the race and much more.
