Speed skating legend Martina Sáblíková ready for her final season

Speed skating legend Martina Sáblíková is ready to begin what she says will be her final competitive season, one that she expects to be more demanding mentally than physically. At a press conference in Prague, the three-time Olympic champion set her sights on qualifying for the 2026 Winter Games in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo. Sáblíková faced some setbacks during training due to an ankle injury but says she is now fully recovered and prepared to travel to Salt Lake City, where the World Cup season begins in mid-November.
