The last Mockeyman gives good luck

BANSKÁ BYSTRICA. The moon’s heart is also beating for popular skiing discipline, but the body refuses to continue to the limit of a notional sports income. Thirty days will be celebrated next year in October, but three years of continuing health problems have exposed a definitive spot for participation in the world’s elite.

“Reasons will be found more, the most important is health. Magnetic Resonance at the Ruzombery Military Hospital has detected my coronary heart disease. Degenerative disease of the left hip joint. My age is quite worn, fortunately not extreme. I have difficulty in training, it limits me in some exercises. In many pointers, then lagging behind the competition and reworking into absolute world top is over my options.Feel pain in jumps, even in training in the gym. Draw knives are a great burden on all joints, and I can not develop the static and dynamic force needed for bridge reflections, “Martin said.

With the world’s top, he raced in the middle of March with the races of the World Cup in skiing in Planica. This was the last success achieved on the mammoth bridge, when in 2006 it reached 195,5 meters in the Austrian Kulme and created a Slovak record.

He was dreaming about the two-dimensional, health problems shifting him in the opposite direction. “I jumped better three years ago.” The last two points in the World Cup were won on December 18, 2005 in Engelberg, Switzerland, for the 29th.the place. “The problems were back then too.” He seriously considered the end of active activity last year, and the World Cup quota was also returned to the bridges. “I could start at the expense of the organizers. We did not have to pay for the trip and the coach with the coach. “Did he not worry about hip pain growing? “It was like a swing. The week in which I was racing and I took about ten jumps was less painful. When I just trained it was worse. Fortunately, I do not have problems in normal walks, they only occur at an extreme load. I do not even have surgery yet. Spend no time and definitely still jump. In Bystrici, a veteran team organizes their own event and can be added.Jumping and skiing are my life and hobbies. “From here, Martin’s desire was to keep trying to move up the hills and, despite the pain, to travel to another race.

“Jumping jumps are my drug and every jump brings me joy. I have been skiing and jumping since I could not be without it. I literally drew a jump home between me. When I said that I should end, the Cousins, the Poles with whom I was in constant contact, spoke to me. I do not think I’m too weak to stop. I did not even bother with the laughter if I did not get to the top thirty. Nor Nor, Finns, Austrians know what it is difficult to force there.It is a small mistake, not to hit the reflection and the meters are gone. “

Slovakia was one of the world champions of the world in the 1960s thanks to Martin Švagerk’s junior master.

The champion took over the relay from other Banskobystrice natives of Russia, Hysseek, Tansho, who belonged to the world’s elite for a decade before. Together with the Czech masters of the world, Kodejškom, Parmom, Ježom, who worked at the top in the Banskobystrický Dukla.

“In the World Cup circus, the last Mohicans from Slovakia spoke to me. They all recognized us in the past, and they were wondering why I was alone. I answered the same. The overall situation in society, I do not care about sports. Jumps are expensive and there is no one to contribute.Dear is an outfit and we have no where to train and jump. A bridge with artificial mass on the Yellow Sands in B. Bystřina. We even stole the ceramic track from the tower last summer. I was preparing for summer in Zakopan, Poland. In order to avoid having to pay for the bridges, I wore them on the overalls, “said Selce, where they also sometimes had a fun diving bridge.

Despite the low age, the World Cup carousel was twelve years old. He first introduced himself as a 16-year-old on January 13, 1996 in Engelberg. He competed in the main competition 90 times, scored in seven races. He topped five years ago in Willingen, Germany, where he finished in 16th place. But then, in the Duke, they dropped the jumps, and Martin had to report to the labor office.For several months, he received 4,000 crowns. “I found a new Vimar club and I could stay in the cup. It is a skiing family, I call it a circus. Everyone was sad when I saw myself from Slovakia. They were more interested in me than at home. They did not understand why I ended up too. I’ve put everything in it and I’m not sorry. “

Slovak fans – ignorant things – only a wave of hands when they hear that Mesik did not qualify for the main competition.

Martin had known the last three years where he had a subjective problem. Even objective. For the year he had 150,000 SKK.

“The World Peak is level. At the World Championships in the summer I jumped 164 m in qualifying, 168 in the main competition, 178 at the score. It is also a question of preparation.In it, jumps from Austria or Norway could have been ten times as many jumps as I did. They could afford it. “

Ironically, it sounds support from the state. When the results will be, the money will be. For the World Cup, the winners are 25,000 Swiss francs, for the 10th place 2,000.

Martin would have made five placements in the first tenth and may not have a crown from the state.

“Not to mention that fifteen of the best have lucrative sponsorship and advertising contracts. Some people get big money, they have no problem when they’re done. “

Martin was lucky, he had a hard fall. “Meanwhile I fell once in three seasons. The worst I had in Králiky six years ago when I had a facial face.Fortunately nothing broken throughout your career. “

Jumping jumps are for lazy guys. Did Martin ever fear? “Only respect before the first jump on a given bridge, everyone has a different profile. When I run from the tower I have to concentrate on the reflection and then I know what to expect. It’s like driving. When you automate your movements, you know when to put the unit in, let go of the clutch or stop it. “

Martin Mesik will be remembered, seen the world and learned foreign language. The jumper jumpsuit will change for a suit. As a car dealer, he also hopes for success. “Cars are long ago my hobby. In sports, I had the opportunity to drive in the more expensive and faster ones that we had available during the races. Now I have to know them from another site, “added Martin Mesík.
