Interview with Slovakia coach Jan Hoste

We met Slovakia’s technical team Jan Hoste for an in-depth look into his team’s performance in the Nations Cup.“What is your overall impression of Slovakia at X-BIONIC® CSIO, and especially on the Nations Cup?
“This is one of the most beautiful places in Europe, it could be the most beautiful place in Europe. Great terrain for horses, in fact they all jumped very well. “The level of difficulty was higher than expected in my opinion, but I am pleased to have gone into the second leg with the Slovak team.““How would you compare this venue with other structures in international competitions?“
“If it’s not the best, it’s definitely one of the best.““What was your goal in the Nations Cup with the Slovakian team and did you accomplish it?“
“Definitely. Today we have achieved our goal, as we have a new “green“ team. It was the first time for Petra Havlovičová in the Nations Cup – he did very well and had good results. Also Monika Noskovičová, great time for her horse in the Cup. The most experienced was Marián Štangel, it was a pity about the error on fence number 10.“
