体坛英语新闻：Spotakova parts ways with Zelezny

PRAGUE, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- Czech women's javelin Olympic winner Barbora Spotakova has ended cooperation with her coach Jan Zelezny, over their differing views on the athlete's training combined with her duties as a mother, they said in a joint statement on Thursday.

The 33-year-old Spotakova, who has a one-year-old son, said she will be preparing for competition by herself. She added she will see what the result will be, and then she will decide what to do with her training in the Olympic season, which will be crucial for her.

Spotakova won the best Czech Athlete of the Year poll for the seventh time recently, and she indicated that she wants her training regime to be less tough in 2015 at the award-giving ceremony. She refused to go training in South Africa for six weeks, citing her duties as a mother among the reasons.

"I always understand the coach and I respect his opinions. Even at this moment I understand his views on my preparation, but due to the fact that I want to show consideration for my family and child, I can not accept such a style of preparation, prepared by the coach. In coming season, I want to combine my family life with training so that neither party has suffered," said the world record holder.

Zelezny proposed to end their cooperation as he disagreed with Spotakova's decision.

"I can't guarantee an athletic preparation of which I'm not in full control...We both dream about a success in Rio de Janeiro, but for the moment we differ on what path leads to the success. I respect her wish to try to prepare herself alone," said Zelezny, a three-times Olympic winner and world champion.

Spotakova started cooperation with Zelezny as her coach since 2010, she won silver at the world championship in 2011 and successfully defended her Olympic gold in 2012. She had a pause over her maternity leave last season and she returned this year by winning the European championships.

Spotakova said that her goal is to succeed at the world championships in Beijing and then concentrate on the Rio Olympic Games in 2016.
