during his training in Tachov accompanied by his father Jiri arrives for his training in Tachov Teenage swimmer David Kratochvil gets ready for his training in Tachov Teenage swimmer David Kratochvil is tapped by his father Jiri during his training in Tachov Czech Republic (AP) — Teenage swimmer David Kratochvil headlines the medal hopefuls of the Czech Republic’s team at the upcoming Paralympics in Paris The 16-year-old Kratochvil used to play ice hockey until losing his sight because of a serious illness about 10 years ago His decision to switch from the ice rink to the swimming pool has proved the right one Kratochvil set world records in 50 and 200 meter backstroke last year and went on to win his first gold medal at the para swimming world championships in Manchester Kratochvil was named the best Czech Paralympic athlete for 2023 something he’s long dreamt about while working hard to make a mark at the six races he has qualified for “I can hardly say how much I’m looking forward to it,” Kratochvil said recently while training in the public swimming pool in the western town of Tachov — population of around 13,000 — near his hometown of Halze “I’m delighted that I’ve made the qualification times,” he said “We’ll see what happens but above all I’m looking forward to the atmosphere at the Games.” for now Kratochvil would be “satisfied with a place in a final and a fifth- or sixth-place finish” but he has bigger goals for the future “I’d like to win a medal at the Paralympics one day “That’s something I’ve been dreaming of since I was nine.” Kratochvil will race in the 50 and 400-meter free While his friends from the local high school enjoy two months of summer holidays Kratochvil has been fully focused on training He’s twice a day in the pool for a total of four hours with a gym workout in-between A 10-mile (16-kilometer) ride on a tandem bicycle in the evening completes the day Sunday is his only day off but he has no complaints And that includes his parents — Stanislava and Jiří Visually impaired swimmers might sometimes have a problem to keep a straight line but need almost no more help while swimming — with one exception As they can’t recognize that they’re approaching the end of the pool they need “tappers” to let them know when to turn or finish a race by tapping their head or back Kratochvil’s parents took over the roles of tappers for him “It’s great to work together,” Kratochvil said The role of tappers is key for success with timing a crucial point It differs according to swimming styles and distances competed His parents use a homemade device for tapping — a 3-meter (10-foot) long handle from a fishing net with a foam ball at the end covered by two rubber balloons “People say we’re catching fish,” his mother Stanislava said with a smile the parents feel more nervous than their son ahead of the Games “We could spoil all his effort and that’s the last thing we want to do,” she said The Paralympics preparation currently takes all their time they have to split their attendance at training which means one of them has to run around the pool about 5 kilometers (3 miles) on average to be ready to tap at both ends A homemade device by Kratochvil’s dad provided a proper starting block for his son 50-meter pool in the city of Plzen currently closed Kratochvil was scheduled to travel for a warm-up camp in Pardubice and also plans to train in another 50-meter pool in Usti nad Labem Both cities are located more than 250 kilometers (155 miles) from Tachov The swimming club in Tachov was where a coach recognized Kratochvil’s talent when his parents were looking with him for a new sport he could do after he lost sight in his second eye because of cancer He lost the first eye for the same reason when he was just 1 That has changed his life but sports remain a big part of it “I always wanted my sons to do sports and be able to play an instrument,” Stanislava said “It was impossible to imagine (David) would be only sitting in the corner and suffer.” Kratochvil is more than happy with the choice “What I love about swimming is that it’s a full body sport,” he said though he doesn’t like the start of morning training “I never feel like jumping into the cold water,” he said likes chess and wants to learn to play the organ he’s interested in biology and currently considering studying psychology Kratochvil qualified for the Tokyo Paralympics in 2021 but withdrew to allow another Czech Paralympic swimmer to participate instead because it was likely the last chance to compete Kratochvil received an award from the Czech Fair Play Committee for the gesture Localised from this IGN wiki https://www.ign.com/wikis/kingdom-come-deliverance-2 a storyteller in Tachov in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 the axe was buried alongside one of the brothers somewhere in the region you can track it down and work the worn-down piece into something worthy of driving into a Cuman skull encompassing the entire woodland on the north of Rocktower Pond it's fairly easy to figure out where to begin Zoom in on the map and you'll see a little wooden pier sticking out from the north side of the lake and where the brother from the story encountered the water goblin where you'll find a mound of earth in this location: In the grave you'll find a broken round shield a gemstone silver ring worth over 200 groschen Head to a smithy to repair the axe from the tale All you need is the broken axe and some fastening material which you can purchase from any blacksmith though you can also go back to Zdenyek to fully wrap it up It's worth traipsing across Trosky for this treasure map Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Vidlak Bandit's Map is tough to get your hands on, but less vague and unforgiving than some of the RPG's maps, like the Map of the Zhelejov Marshes You have to steal this one from bandits – or loot it if you're itching for a fight and have the wherewithal to make it through alive – but there's a handy clue in the map that points out where to find it The Vidlak Bandit's Map treasure is exceptionally valuable Our KCD 2 Vidlak Bandit's Map explains how to find the map and where to look for the treasure then where to look again when the first location turns out to be wrong Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Vidlak Bandit's Map and while you can find the camp naturally during the Lackey quest – an essential part of finding Mutt after losing him during the prologue – you can also just take a detour immediately after regaining control of Henry If you're struggling to find provisions or scrounge up enough money for decent equipment the latter idea is definitely worth considering It's easier and faster to reach if you have a horse, which you can get legitimately by following our how to get a horse guide or by stealing it from Troskowitz's southern pastures we strongly recommend skipping time ahead to a point after sunset and surviving without a strong weapon and sturdy armor is not going to be easy you can sneak in – don't use your torch – and knock them out individually A guard patrols the camp and will wake them up when he passes by you'll find two bandits asleep near an extinguished cookfire The bearded one on the right is the one with the map and make sure to get the bandit's key as well The treasure is in a locked chest that requires high lockpicking skill to open without the key The map shows a tree at the northern end of a lake and there's only one lake with that shape in the Trosky region in the northern half of the pond-lake itself You're looking for the Hollow Tree point of interest Investigate the area near the roots of the fallen trees Henry remarks that this can't possibly be it intact when the bandits hid their treasure at least

replica of history You find a Slavic village originating from around the year 1000 AD The houses on the open-air site of the History Park are built as one-to-one models; they are museum

to the area in the form of the ‘History Park’ the History Park already attracts more than 20 000 visitors annually not including the large numbers of delegates attending the various conferences held there Among the visitors are thousands of schoolchildren who visit the park to learn about everyday life in the times of Charles IV and of their shared Bavarian-Bohemian history In addition to being featured regularly in both German and Czech media the local groups organising the community and social events between the towns were awarded the Brückenbauerpreis (bridge-builder prize) and the
