“It’s a huge disappointment in many ways. Simon Nausch (coach Koloc and Sluk – red) has completely discredited and denied a great deal of work in the Czech beach, “wrote Martin Lébl on his facebook profile.
Speculation about Kiki and Maki split into the media on Friday, Monday at the press conference, the end of the co-operation was confirmed. The breakdown did not play the role of the financial problems that were being discussed, as confirmed by David Trávníček, Chairman of the Board of Directors representing Sport Invest.
There have been miserable results lately.The gambling crisis has also mingled with both players. “We have always had the highest goals, but this year we have not been able to fulfill them,” said Sluková. “The basic thing is that confidence has disappeared, we all had a different opinion.” The couple had been together for ten years and has historically become the most successful beach volleyball couple in the Czech Republic. According to Lébl, a participant in the Sydney Olympics, it was a mistake that players did not try hard to survive.
“Beach volleyball is more than anywhere else that they both have to play if they do not like it. There are too many such cases.That’s why this decision is hasty and I would call it a complete amateurism. “Léb also criticized Zdeněk Haník, the union leader, who agreed to put coach Nausche into two positions – Kolocová and Slučka led and coached the Czech representation. “His decision seems to be the worst. Nausch has decomposed both pairings. ”
In addition to Kiki and Maki, a few Barbora Hermann, Martina Bonner, also fell apart. The first named in the future will create a pair with Sluka. “But imagine Maki and Simon will be coming next year as a new sponsor to want the money for the new season. I can not imagine the sponsor who will give them the money.Where will they guarantee that in two months, when two tournaments do not happen they will not? ”
Koloc and Sluka were probably the most popular sports couple in our country. The charming blondes also relied on a reliable marketing mark, which will now be hard to replace.
“It will not work. Such results will no longer make Czech women’s beach volleyball long, “thinks Michal Palinek, a representative of OH in Atlanta and Sydney. “Breaking this successful brand is the biggest stupidity this year.”
