Our Czech colleague heading for Paralympics in Sochi<br />

The eyes of all sport fans are turning to Sochi where in just a few day’s-time the<br />

world’s biggest sport holiday will break out. During the Paralympic games which will<br />

follow right after the Winter Olympics <strong>ArcelorMittal</strong> folks can join to cheer up our Czech<br />

colleague Stanislav Loska from <strong>ArcelorMittal</strong> Ostrava who is to compete in downhill<br />

skiing and super G.<br />

Stanislav Loska is no stranger to winter Paralympics. He made his first appearance back in 1994<br />

in Lillehammer, Norway, where he took bronze medal in slalom. Since, he has never missed out on<br />

this prestigious event. Thus, this year it is going to be his sixth start at the Paralympic games.<br />

To qualify for what he calls his last Paralympics he went through a serious of races in the Alps.<br />

„Last year I took six races and brought home one silver medal, four bronze ones and an eighth<br />

place. As I haven’t competed for two years I am happy with the results,“ comments his<br />

performance Stanislav Loska, refractory lining technician from <strong>ArcelorMittal</strong> Ostrava.<br />

Ambition – top 15<br />

What goal will he be leaving for Sochi with? As he says the competition at the top is very tough<br />

and since he combines skiing with his every day job at the steel shop he will be happy if he comes<br />

in up to the fifteenth place.<br />

To achieve this goal <strong>ArcelorMittal</strong> Ostrava provides its athlete with an all-round support. Besides<br />

funding the company gave Stanislav extra five days of vacation which he used on his training in<br />

the Austrian Alps.<br />

“We are happy that we have among our ranks not only highly experienced and skilled workers<br />

but also such talented athletes. We are proud to support Stanislav in his sport ambitions and wish<br />

him best of luck in Sochi,” says CEO of <strong>ArcelorMittal</strong> Ostrava Tapas Rajderkar.<br />

The latest trophy Stanislav can be proud of is the Best Handicapped Athlete of Ostrava <strong>2014</strong>.<br />
