The SMOLA CHŮZE sports association was founded in 2011 JOSEF SMOLO, JAROSLAV RIEDERER and JAN HADRAVA.

From the very beginning of its activity, the association has been an athletic club registered with the Czech Athletic Association.

They created a membership base and at the same time became the first athletes of the association LENKA BOROVIČKOVÁ, PETER ADAM a JOSEPH SMOLA, all three are, from the very beginning, regular participants and "collectors" of medals from top veteran competitions - World Championships, European Championships, Europa Challenge and belong to the absolute world leader in their veteran categories. Thus, they are also an engine and a model for their younger followers.


IMG 4533In 2021, the cooperation with IVO PITÁK will end. The reason is fundamental differences of opinion on fundamental issues such as the leadership and functioning of the Czech pedestrian representation, Czech walking as a whole or mutual relations in general, which proved to block further development from winter 2020/2021, so that only a narrow encapsulated group of so-called "chosen", without the possibility of dialogue with other groups and those interested in Czech walking.

Josef SMOLA during his active competition in the first half of the 50s, he achieved excellent results: 3km walk: personal record 59:48:1990h (1995), participation in the World Walking Cup in Beijing, China (100), 9km walk: Czech record 40:17:1990 (20 Rivera near Lugano), 1 km walk: personal record 29:40:XNUMX. So we are already the umpteenth generation of the group, and in any case we have the ambition to be the best. We have motivation and a great desire to succeed, he has experience, knowledge and, so far, enough strength. This connection gives us a chance to succeed in the sports world and on the international field. Our goal is medals and our philosophy is given by the statement:

"It is not important to win, but to behave decently"

Žofka, Balšán, Doležal, Moc, Bílek, Vavřačová, Dibelková and in recent years Drahotová - these are just the main names associated with the performances that had and still have sound in European and world walking! And if we want other followers to follow in their footsteps, we cannot expect an excellent pedestrian to appear out of nowhere in the Czech Republic out of nowhere. He won't show up by chatting!


IMG 3703 MediumI couldn't look at it anymore the moment you did Anežka Drahotová she chooses her share of bad luck and problems, there is no one who would at least partially represent her in terms of results. That was the moment when I said to myself that if I want Czech walking to become competitive, I must unite and support smart and successful people with the same interest, and we must immediately stop debating wildly and start doing something.


pchh132aThe SMOLA CHůZE association offers cooperation to coaches and competitors (walkers) so that they can set out again in the world and Europe under the banner of the association. The effort and help of the association includes all categories. From the smallest to veterans. AC RUMBURK coaches and officials Honza Rein, Martin Nedvídek, Lucie Nekulová were the first to understand and accept my offer. I started working with this group myself, so I have a clear idea of ​​how it is possible to work and why the joy and results of this group last for a long time - there is not much discussion or theorizing here, but work is done. And that is my philosophy, thanks to which I managed to build the company as well SMOLA KONSTRUKCE Ltd

We also lend a helping hand to the newly emerging athletic club in Vrchlabí. I want children who are not "taken over" by other disciplines to be brought to walk, preferably.
We are at the beginning of the journey and I know it will not be an easy journey. But I like walking, as an athletic discipline, I'm interested, so here you will be able to watch how dreams and plans are going!
