Story Transcript:
Cs: V čase mezi zimou a jarem, kdy lesy Šumavy ještě voní sněhem, ale jdou již cítit první známky oblevy, se konal tréninkový tábor.
En: In the time between winter and spring, when the forests of Šumava still smell of snow, but the first signs of thaw can already be felt, a training camp was held.
Cs: Tady, v tichých horách, se Jana snažila uskutečnit svůj sen - stát se členkou národního biatlonového týmu.
En: Here, in the quiet mountains, Jana was trying to fulfill her dream - to become a member of the national biathlon team.
Cs: Jana byla mladá žena, plná odhodlání a síly.
En: Jana was a young woman full of determination and strength.
Cs: Jenže její srdce svíralo něco těžkého.
En: However, something heavy weighed on her heart.
Cs: Doma, kromě snů o biatlonu, měl Jana jeden velký úkol.
En: At home, besides her dreams of biathlon, Jana had one major task.
Cs: Postarat se o své mladší sourozence, Petru a Marka, od doby, co jim zemřeli rodiče.
En: She had to take care of her younger siblings, Petra and Marek, ever since their parents passed away.
Cs: Byla to poprvé, co je nechala samotné.
En: It was the first time she left them alone.
Cs: Srdce jí trhalo, když pomyslela na to, že opouští ty, o které se snažila pečovat ze všech sil.
En: It tore her heart to think about leaving those she tried so hard to care for.
Cs: Jana se rozhodla: "Musím to zkusit."
En: Jana decided: "I have to try."
Cs: Věřila, že Petra a Marek jsou připraveni.
En: She believed that Petra and Marek were ready.
Cs: Po večerech si s nimi volala, zkontrolovala, jak se jim daří, a snažila se balancovat mezi tréninkem a péčí na dálku.
En: In the evenings, she called them to check on how they were doing and tried to balance between training and caring from afar.
Cs: Tábor byl plný energie.
En: The camp was full of energy.
Cs: Zde, v zasněžené šumavské přírodě, se ozývaly povzbuzující pokřiky a smích.
En: Here, in the snowy Šumava nature, encouraging shouts and laughter echoed.
Cs: Pod šedým zimním nebem bylo cítit naději, že tvrdá práce přinese ovoce.
En: Under the gray winter sky, there was a sense of hope that hard work would pay off.
Cs: Jana se musela soustředit.
En: Jana had to focus.
Cs: Pak přišel důležitý závod.
En: Then came the important race.
Cs: Terén byl náročný a Jana se cítila pod tlakem.
En: The terrain was challenging, and Jana felt under pressure.
Cs: Chtěla dosáhnout cíle pro sebe a pro své sourozence.
En: She wanted to reach the goal for herself and for her siblings.
Cs: Ale když sklouzla a tvrdě spadla, v duchu už to chtěla vzdát.
En: But when she slipped and fell hard, she wanted to give up in her mind.
Cs: Najednou uslyšela známé hlasy: "Jano, do toho!"
En: Suddenly, she heard familiar voices: "Jana, go for it!"
Cs: Ohlédla se a viděla Petru a Marka, jak jí fandí z okraje trati.
En: She turned and saw Petra and Marek cheering for her from the edge of the track.
Cs: Přijeli ji podpořit.
En: They came to support her.
Cs: To jí vlilo novou sílu do žil.
En: This gave her new strength.
Cs: Zvedla se a, ačkoliv cítila bolest, rozhodla se nevzdát.
En: She got up and, although she felt pain, she decided not to give up.
Cs: S jejich jmény na rtech proběhla cílovou čárou.
En: With their names on her lips, she crossed the finish line.
Cs: A vyplatilo se!
En: And it paid off!
Cs: Kvalifikovala se.
En: She qualified.
Cs: Po návratu domů zjistila, že její sourozenci se naučili samostatnosti.
En: Upon returning home, she found that her siblings had learned independence.
Cs: Péče, kterou jim věnovala, se vyplatila.
En: The care she gave them paid off.
Cs: Petra dokonce uvařila večeři a Marek se postaral o úklid.
En: Petra even cooked dinner, and Marek took care of the cleaning.
Cs: Jana pochopila, že její láska a důvěra k nim posílila nejen je, ale i ji samotnou.
En: Jana realized that her love and trust had not only strengthened them, but herself as well.
Cs: Naučila se, že nemusí všechno zvládat sama, a že sny mohou jít ruku v ruce se zodpovědností.
En: She learned that she doesn't have to handle everything on her own, and that dreams can go hand in hand with responsibility.
Cs: Šumavské kopce byly stále pokryty sněhem, ale v jejím srdci se rozhostilo jaro.
En: The Šumava hills were still covered in snow, but in her heart, spring had blossomed.
Cs: Konečně našla rovnováhu mezi touhou po úspěchu a láskou ke své rodině.
En: She had finally found a balance between the desire for success and love for her family.
Cs: Jana věděla, že doma na ni čeká nejen její minulost, ale i budoucnost plná naděje a lásky.
En: Jana knew that at home awaited not just her past, but also a future full of hope and love.

It was the first thing that was not easy. It was the moment when I thought about it that I was able to convince you about which the power of all of you was forced to fight. I was excited, I had to try it. I knew that Petra and Mary were ready. After the elections, we wanted to control how they were able to fight and began to balance between training and training at the distance. The table was full of energy. From where, in the snow-covered forest nature, we were able to get rid of the smoke and smoke. In the last winter, I couldn't find hope that the hard work was carried out. I had to go through it. Then I came down to the lake. The river was natural, and I was sitting under the lake.
I wanted to reach the goal of my own and my own growth. But when the snow-covered forest fell, I wanted to give it to the spirit. One of us heard the sound of the rain, and the rain, to it. It looked like Peter and Mark, who were fans of the country. We were able to support it. It was a new strength to the soul. It looked like a bird, and it was not able to give up. We were able to get rid of the smoke and smoke. And we paid for it. We were able to qualify. After the return to the lake, the parents learned about the rest. Peter, who was getting married, was paid. Peter at the end of the night,
and Mark tried to get rid of it. He understood that the ice and the rain were not strong enough, but it was lonely. He learned that he didn't have to worry about himself, and that he could not come back from the responsibility. The Schumanns were covered with snow, but the heart grew brighter. Finally, he found a new meaning after the success of Alaska in his family. I knew that the house was waiting for it and there was no minute, but there will be a lot of hope for Alaska. In the time between Winter and Spring, when the forest of Somava still smelled of snow, but the first signs of thought can already be felt, a training camp was held. Then, in those mountains,
