Thursday Ester moved to Chile to train in the snow of the southern hemisphere and would like to take part in the fast races of the South American Cup but was not in the starting list of the first of the two descents today in La Parva. "The Czech Federsci has threatened not to let me start in these races, which I would love to do because they are important and are good tests for the World Cup season," said Ester. According to Sport Invest, the agency that takes care of LedeckÃ¡'s interests, both sides disagree on several points of the contract, which should have been signed on August 31st. The federation now also threatens the athlete, as well as not making it compete, not to finance it anymore. For Sport Invest the signing of the contract would facilitate the federation more than the athlete. "The dispute is not just about a point in the contract but a lot of important areas of cooperation that according to Ester are unbalanced - says Sport Invest director David TrÃ¡vnÃÄek -. Many times we have looked for sponsors to help us financially. However Ester has made concessions to help the Czech ski but all this for the federation is not enough ". The Czech Olympic Committee says it does not want to interfere with the quarrel and President Per Kejvalfa knows that he wants the parties to get along quickly. Today the executive committee of the federation will meet with a precise agenda: Ester LedeckÃ¡. Whatever happens, the Olympic champion season of the phenomenal Czech has not started well at all.
