GeneralTRAINING DIFFICULTIES
Due to the lack of top-class facilities in Slovakia, he often trains in Germany or Austria. However, because each individual training session is expensive, he begins the season with just 80 practice runs. Most German athletes amass 200 training runs before the season begins, so he feels he is constantly playing catch-up with his competitors. (jozefninis.webnode.sk, 04 Feb 2104)
