The double Olympic champion of superG and parallel giant and its management have agreed with the Czech Federsci even if formally the signature is not yet there. However, at a press conference, federal alpine skiing boss Ladislav Forejtek said that representatives of Sport Invest have approved the agreement.
Ester will have more freedom to choose business partners and the agreement includes more funding that will lead management to invest more on other senior and junior athletes. The agreement will be valid for the entire four-year Olympic period. "Yesterday (Monday for who reads, ed) we have definitely settled and I think very well both for Ester and for the federation" said Forejtek.
Ledecká's Sport Invest manager David TrávnÃÄek confirmed this in a press release: "We have approved all the points of the agreement, all the signatures must be signed but the negotiations have been very complicated but we are happy to have succeeded and Ester has obtained the freedom to choose the sponsors ".
Currently Ledecká is training abroad so he can not put his signature on the contract but is still happy for the happy conclusion of months of negotiations that since September were also very harsh: "I am grateful to my management that I solve all the problems for several years now. I know I'm in good hands and that everything will be fine and I can also allow myself not to take part in the discussions, "said the 23-year-old actress born in Prague.
On September 28, Foretek together with the head of the snowboarding section Miroslav Schimmer sent a communication to the media from which it seemed that everything had skipped but now sees this initiative as something that has caused a disadvantage and the risk of collapse of an entire industry. Then he reveals that he has requested a meeting directly with Esther's parents to restart the negotiations in a more peaceful manner.
The federation should receive at least 800,000 crowns a year according to the current contract that could grow further until the end of the four-year Olympic period, and it is hoped that after 2022 such incidents will no longer occur even if in the past there were other negotiations difficult, for example with the winner of the Tornee of the 4 Trampolines of 2006 Jakub Janda and with the gold founder in Turin 2006 in the 30 km mass start Kateřina Neumannová.
Ledecká, supports its management, has rejected the 800,000 crowns because it will provide the greatest amount of money thanks to its results, which will certainly still be of great thickness. The representative was the representative of the government Milan HniliÄka, former ice hockey goalkeeper: "Ester is ours, no one can imagine otherwise, so I have logically felt the need to help the 'agreement of both parties and I appreciate how they are finally agreed to finally joined, "he said.
