Jiskra Canoe Club:

Jiskra Canoe Club was found in April 16, 1949. Among founding members of the Club were families of Fryd, Bilicz, Kobera. This is mentioned to show that this sport has a long tradition in our town. No wonder, that among organizers of the World Cup Canoe Marathon are again names kind of Fryd, Bilicz, Kobera, Lunacek, Planansky, etc. The present members inherited from their parents a beautiful sport, canoe facilities and a message to pass these values on their children. This is reason why among competitors are familiar names of people who are actually grand and grand-grandchildren of the Jiskra Club founders. Presently, our Club has over eighty members, racing team has 25 competitors primarily in youth categories. Conditions for water sports are perfect and this sport is one of the most popular in our town. Smooth water which does not freeze in the Winter, Canoe Club facilities located conveniently in down town area. We are also happy with the achieved racing results. Presently, our young racers are among the best ten teams in the Czech Republic. I believe that we will even improve our positions and this racing event may be one of the motivations to do it. Every year Jiskra Club organizes traditional South Czech 10 km Race and in 1999, at the 50th anniversary of our club, we plan to enhance this race with the international canoe marathon. A successful World Cup racing event of this year may be a good reason to repeat a marathon in our town in 1999.
