Gabriela Koukalova

Gabriela Soukalova is a Czech biathlete, two-time world champion. The athlete is called the most smiling and one of the most beautiful biathletes in the world. She has a bronze and two silver medals at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi.

Sport in the girl's life appeared from the moment of birth - November 1, 1989, because Gabriela's parents are professional skiers. Father was engaged in ski jumping, mother - skiing, played for the Czechoslovak national team at the Olympics in Sarajevo and took 2nd place. They became the first trainers of their daughter.

Her passion for sports did not prevent Soukalova from graduating well from school, entering the institute at the faculty of graphics and design, and studying music and vocals. Gabriela sings and plays the piano. The girl also studied English. Repeatedly became the author of layouts of medals for the biathlon world championship. She considers Van Gogh to be her favorite artist. In addition to biathlon, the girl's hobbies were football, swimming and horse riding.

Soukalova came to biathlon in 2005. Gabriela was not mistaken with the choice, because already in 2008 the promising athlete was included in the Czech national team. In the same year, she participated in the World Junior Championships, but unsuccessfully. In terms of speed and accuracy, the athlete was inferior to her rivals - in no race of the championship the girl did not enter the top twenty.

The coaches were not afraid of the first setbacks: in the next season, Gabriela Soukalova participated in the Continental Cup and the World Junior Championships. The biathlete made every effort to ensure that the national team won gold.

In the winter of 2009, the athlete first participated in the race for the World Cup, but again let down her low speed. Soukalova did not give up - after a series of failures in Gabriela's sports biography, a streak of luck began.

In the 2012/2013 season, Gabriela Soukalova became one of the best athletes in the pursuit at the Pokljuka competition. From that moment on, the biathlete reached a new level and already constantly got into the points zone. At the stage of the World Cup, held in Khanty-Mansiysk, she won 3 victories and at the end of the year took 6th place in the overall standings.

The next step in Gabriela's sports career was the race for the Olympic season. Soukalova won the mixed relay and individual race. In 2010 she took part in the Vancouver Olympics for the first time, but according to the results of the individual championship she took only 60th place.

The girl showed a significantly better result at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi. The biathlete won 2 silver medals at once - in the mixed relay and mass start.

Then the disease made itself felt - Gabriela Soukalova temporarily dropped out of the fight for the World Cup. At the 2015 World Championships, the athlete received the champion award for the first time in the national team. The biathlete brought the team 2 silver medals. 2016 was also marked by victories. On January 14, Gabriela climbed the podium. While the competition continued, the girl was in the lead in the overall standings and won the main prize of the World Cup.

2017 turned out to be the most fruitful year in Gabriela's sports career. At the stage of the Biathlon World Championship, which took place in Hochfilzen, she won a set of medals. The sprint brought the athlete gold, in the pursuit race Soukalova won bronze, and in the individual race at a 15-kilometer distance - silver.

At the end of the year, a scandal erupted around Soukalova's name on the Web. Gabriela spoke in favor of the removal of Russian athletes from participation in the 2018 Olympic Games in PyeongChang. The biathlete expressed this position from the pages of her personal account on Facebook, which caused a lot of negative comments from fans sympathetic to Russian athletes.

The recognition of the use of doping by biathletes Olga Vilukhina, Yana Romanova, Olga Zaitseva and Ekaterina Shumilova canceled their achievements at the 2014 Olympics. The silver of the Russian team in the relay passed to Norway, and the bronze went to the Czech team, which included Gabriela Soukalova.

Gabriela Soukalova is an optimist in her life. The girl always smiles, which attracts fans and admirers to her. Despite the busy training schedule, the athlete looks stylish, finds time to take care of her appearance.

Soukalova demonstrated her excellent form in her personal photos on Instagram. True, over time, only the athlete's fan pages remained on the Web, the organizers of which closely follow the biathlete's career.

Gabriela has little time for her personal life - she tries to spend it with her beloved. He is also an athlete, badminton player Peter Koukal. In an interview, the biathlete admitted that she is mastering the sport of a loved one, but so far she is not very good at it. Peter laughs, and his parents support the girl, because they are badminton coaches.

Gabriela Soukalova is recognized as one of the most beautiful athletes in the world. In addition to the charming smile that the sportswoman gives the fans at the competitions, the figure of Gabriela also attracts the attention of the fans. With a height of 169 cm, her weight is 61 kg. The girl has starred for Playboy several times.

In 2014, together with Peter, Gabriela starred naked for the cover of a glossy magazine. The photo session was timed to coincide with the anti-cancer campaign. The athlete also posed for a thematic photo shoot in a swimsuit, over which she was wearing a sports jacket, and in Gabriela's hands was a rifle.

In 2010, the couple experienced a serious test - Peter suffered testicular cancer, after which he began to pay attention to his own health. Gabriela's family did not escape this illness - oncology was found in her father. In 2016, a serious illness befell Soukalova's sister. But the trials did not interfere with the personal happiness of the lovers.

In May 2016, the athletes got married, even Friday the 13th did not stop Peter and Gabriela. The wedding ceremony took place in a church in Central Bohemia. The celebration was attended by 120 relatives and friends. Gabriela and her husband donated the money donated for the wedding to the fund for the fight against cancer.

After the wedding, Gabriela's surname changed by just one letter and began to sound like Koukalova. The spouses do not think about children yet, but Gabriela's fans expect joyful news from their favorite.

It was planned that Gabriela will become a member of the Czech national team at the 2018 Olympic Games. But already at the beginning of the year, Soukalova's competition schedule was simple. Due to pain in the calf muscles, which tormented the athlete for six months, she missed the stages of the Biathlon World Cup. She was unable to regain her physical shape and enter the international circuit in Pyeongchang.

Already in January, she announced the early end of the season, and 4 months later, the athlete from her Facebook account told her fans that she would not get on skis in the current season 2018/2019, most likely, her career is approaching its final stage. At that time, the rare appearance of a biathlete in the media space was limited to interviews about the doping scandal with Russian athletes.

Soon the Czech woman surprised the biathlon lovers with the presentation of the book "The Other", on which she worked while she was idle.

Gabriela shared with readers unknown facts of her biography. For example, from her youth, she suffered from eating disorders due to the fact that she constantly received comments from the trainer about being overweight.

Soukalova had to apply dietary food, but nothing helped her. It got to the point that Gabriela started having bouts of bulimia. The problems were resolved only after the athlete's marriage. The husband insisted that the biathlete see a doctor. Now she has found a way to maintain the physical shape necessary for sports and life.

In the book, the athlete, in a humorous manner, explained why she did not become the first at the Sochi Olympics. According to Gabriela, the Czech national team performed in white, slightly translucent suits, so the biathlete had to constantly adjust her underwear so that it did not attract the eyes of others.

She also touched on in her story the difficult relations within the Czech national team and the conflicts that arose between Soukalova and her colleague Veronika Vitkova since childhood. The athlete's revelations caused a violent reaction among her colleagues.
