Keep your eyes open...
Just to be sure you don´t
miss her next success.
So far you deal with her three
medals from Winter Universiade 2015, two Junior World Champion titles in Summer
Biathlon. So she really deserves your attention. Look closer to the lines
below.
To not miss anything from her
life we give you this exclusive content.
Meet the Slovak girl giving smiles all
around the world - Pauluš Fialková and her talk story.
- My biathlon story began when I was
eight, as a hyperactive child my parents
made me choose between two sports – swimming and biathlon. I didn´t like
swimming so I forcibly chose biathlon. And it became the love of
a lifetime.
- I wanted to be all sorts of
professions when I was a child. Most
often I was talking about becoming an astronaut but I never thought about
professional sport.
- I appreciate every medal, every
success. Even the 10th place from the World Cup
has the same value for me. There is something special I appreciate on
every success from my races.
- At
the Winter Universiade I didn´t feel pressure at all, I like
to race at home, I like it there in Osrblie and the fans were cheering for
me highly.

- After the Universiade people concratulated
me, but nothing has changed markedly among
my rivals in the World Cup.
- We have new coach for the season and I take that fact as a positive change. In general
I shot better than the previous season although some races were really
horrible. The worse is that I didn´t finish in the top 10 as in the
previous year.
- I like summer biathlon,
I am good on roller skis, I even have a feeling
I am better on roller skis than on snow. But I can´t imagine summer
biathlon as a part of Summer Olympic Games. Biathlon is winter sport, the top
is in winter, there can´t be two tops during the year. There must be also time
for hard training.
- I couldn´t bear the media
critics during and after Olympics in Sochi. I had
cried but I could pass through it and I became resistant. I try
to not read the critics, not to react to it. There were and always will be such
people - the best coaches of all time that are sitting and philosophing on the
sofa. But they didn´t know how they helped me, I became balanced thanks to
them. Things I can´t influenced I become reconciled with and that´s
it.
- My first Olympics were my best and
my worst experiences in my life. And
I don´t want to talk about it anymore.
- My relationship with my sister is
great I think, especially thanks to the sport.
I don´t know if I am an idol for her but she followed me from early
years until joining the national team.
- I can imagine I could
leave my country because of better funding and training
conditions. I understand those people that did it or will do it.
I love Slovakia but I hate the chaos system that we have here.
- The tracks in Kontiolahti I like
most. Already at Junior Championships it was
good for me to run there.
- One year ago before Kontiolahti it was almost end of my season but at last I travelled there.
I was angry, maybe because of that I made my best result so far.
- Successes motivate. It is worse to find motivation inside of yourself when it is
not going well. I don´t deal with motivation for training, I take it
as my everyday work that I do fairly. People go to work even if it is
raining, don´t they?
- I would like to travel a lot but not through countries I already
travel to. For me perfect holidays are with sea, sun, beach and regular rest.
No ultra activities.
- I can imagine being the face
of a fashion brand but I don´t think they would ask
me exactly with such offer.
- I can be headstrong. It could be bad and also good habit. Every day I go step
by step forward to my aims and I don´t give up. What are my weaknesses?
They say I can be pretty nasty when I have a bad day.
- When I have rest day I sleep
long, in summer I have breakfast on the
terrace, turn on radio, read the newspapers, drink coffee. I go to the
city with my friends for shopping, cosmetics and to visit hairdresser. All these
things I like just like every woman. Then at the evening for example I
like to have barbecue with glass of wine, to watch a film (without ads) and
the next day I am ready to train feeling rested.
- My biggest fans are my family and my
good friends, classically. I cheer for all
Slovak athletes that takes it seriously. I cheer for everybody even the
haters.
- I try to avoid the question
about my dreams for several years. Of
course my dreams are connected with sport but It is my secret. Otherwise I want
to be fine in my life, to find what I look for and to be smiled, humble
and satisfied with myself.
