TOP TEN EXPECTATIONS 2017

1. Fight for clean sport, is it possible to win it or at least to move in that direction?

2. (repeating myself) Will Russian Athletes be able to compete in London 2017?

TOP TEN TRACK MEMORIES 2016

1. Bolt is a legend, following his year from Ostrava through Rio to Red Carpet I am Bolt.

2. Wayde Van Niekerk breaking MJ´s 400 m WR in lane 8 (forget agents discussions about lanes at meetings).

3. Unbeatable records going: Harrison-Donkova, Ayana-Wang Junxia.

4. Sara Kolak the top surprise in Rio. Also Braz 603 and Fajdek out in qualification.

5. Discussing doping and issues around it for most hours in one year with explaining not everything is bad.

6. Pavel Maslak defending his World Indoor Title in Portland on American soil.

7. Despite injuries in Ostrava doing well at Olympics: Eaton and Morris.

8. Tough beeing unbeaten and clear number ones and still not beeing elected in different polls on top (Perkovic, Wlodarczyk).

9. Positive changes towards modernisation in our sport like slow train, but moving.

10. 6th Olympics as TV commentator enjoying with all the ups and downs of athletes and within the organisation.

More personal: Announcing European Figure Skating Championships, Indoor high jumps in Italian mood, AirLavillenie star in Jablonec, Ostrava full house and good weather, return of PTS Meeting in Samorin, Anita World record at Kamila Memorial and commentating for first time (Im active in this since 1995) Olympic athletics gold for Slovakia (Toth).
