Optimist Coaching Clinic & 19th Qatar International Regatta (Sail the Gulf) 2011
Dnes s Veronikou Živnou odlétáme do qatarského hlavního města Doha, abychom se zde zúčastnili nejprve tréninku a zároveň trenérského výcviku v rámci Optimist Coaching Clinic pod vedením polského trenéra Marka Nostitz-Jackowkého a poté otevřeného mistrovství Qataru ve třídě Optimist. Z obou akcí budou denní reportáže na serveru http://optimistclass.cz. Já využiji příležitosti zúčastnit se také Race Management Clinic, kterou povede David Sprague z Kanady. Níže připojuji tiskovou zprávu zveřejněnou na internetových stránkách Qatar Saling & Rowing Federation.
