Řezáč won the prestigious Birkebeinerrennet race in Norway for four times - in 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2011.[1] He also finished second-placed in the Vasaloppet race in Sweden in 2011.[2] In 2009 he finished third in the same race.[3]

Media

In 2011 the video of Řezáč giving an interview after Birkebeinerrennet became viral in the Czech Republic. Řezáč was struggling to speak English, mixing it with German and Czech.[4] During the interview, Řezáč mentions several times the word "šůšn". Journalists thought initially it is a misspelling of some English word. It was revealed later it refers to the Norwegian village of Sjusjøen.[5]
