EYOF Stars #7 – Richard Ondruš

Wednesday, 29 June 2022

With less than a month to go until the start of the EYOF Banská Bystrica 2022, the athletes are entering the final phase of their preparation and we are happy to introduce to you today the Slovak basketball hope Richard Ondruš.

It will not be the first international event for the 16-year-old Slovak national player. In his sporting career he has already participated in international competitions in the U20, U17 and U16 categories. He even made it to the all-star selection at the V4 Olympic Hopes tournament. He has already enjoyed four championship titles on home territory.

We interviewed Richard before his Banská Bystrica performances. Read the short interview.

What does it mean to you to compete at the EYOF?

It’s a great challenge for me, I appreciate it very much and it’s an honour for me to be able to participate in such an event and compare my basketball skills with my peers from other countries.

As an athlete, how do you perceive the values of Olympism and fair play?

Every athlete should base his or her sporting career on the values of Olympism and fair play. It is important for every athlete.

What is your greatest sporting achievement and what does it mean to you?

My biggest sporting achievement is that I was selected to represent Slovakia and I was able to represent Slovakia. That’s what I always wanted.
