What a newcomer…
You can watch her on the
tracks in her first World cup season trying to do her best. Go on and keep cheering!
But maybe you will have the reasons to cheer more when you meet her behind the
track in this exclusive interview. I think it´s a good idea, isn´t it?
I´m proud to present you the young
talented Slovak biathlete – the rising star Terezia Poliakova.
Why biathlon? What fascinates you most
about this sport?
"Most of all shooting, because
it is not easy to go through it in ordinary life. And of course the harmony of
running and accurate sight."
Do you have any biathlon idol or any
other idol?
"I have many favorite
athletes but I have never thought they could become my idols. So I must say I
haven´t any."
Favorite biathlon competition?
"Again I haven´t any, every day
and race is different as well. Once you achieve good result in sprint another
time in individual race."
In the new season you will be the part
of top Slovak women team for the World Cup. How was your summer training camp?
Do you feel in good shape?
"We were traveling a lot in
summer, our second home became Osrblie and Obertilliach. I think the training
was really hard but I don´t know if it led to the right shape – we will see in
winter."
Any tip for the winner of the World Cup?
"Anyone of the TOP 30 biathletes
could win in biathlon, that´s why I like this sport too. No one has certainty as a winner,
so I dare not say who it could be."
How did you enjoy 3 biathlon medals
from the Olympic Games in Vancouver 2010?
"Sitting by the computer and
television - screaming and cheering as loud as it was possible."
Were those results your motivation for
the trainings - the motivation for standing on the Olympic podium once?
"Of course it motivated me. Every
athlete dreams of the Olympic podium and these medals convinced me that also
biathletes from small country just like Slovakia could win."

Sochi 2014. What does it mean to you?
"Surely I would like to
compete there and I would like to achieve some good result. Olympic Games are
my big dream."
Do you like travelling? Do you have a
favorite place or is there any place you want to visit once?
"I like to travel although I
don´t like spending time by travelling, especially 8 or 9 hours in car. But I
like to meet new countries and new people. I haven´t any favorite place, I would
like to visit places that are beautiful and could be interesting for me for
some reason."
Who is your usual roommate when you
travel for racing and training camps?
"I use to live with Lucia
Šimova most but I have very good relationship with all girls from our team. It
is important that we understand each other and we are very good team especially
in winter when we are out of our homes."
Biathletes can´t race with music in their
ears. But do you like to train with music? What kind of music is it?
"In the past I used to train
with music all the time but I realized I didn´t concentrate on my moves. These
days I use my headphones mainly when I want to relax or to change my thoughts
when something fails. Of course the music must be fast to energize me."

Your favorite activity when you are not
doing biathlon?
"I tried the mountain
climbing last year and I liked it very much. And I use to ski in my free time since
I was a child. But when I have free time after really long time my favorite activity
is lying and watching a good film."
Can you imagine what would you do when
biathlon didn´t exist?
"I would do some other sport
for sure but I don´t know what kind of sport, because thank god biathlon exists."
