During its summer stop in Vyšší Brod, the traditional charity market will also open its doors to anyone who’d like to have a clear-out of their wardrobes or pick up a special item – for example, from the newly crowned world champion Tereza Rauturier, who has promised to supply some of her pieces.
“The concept of o-charity shop makes perfect sense to me; I’m delighted that we Czechs, have come up with this speciality, which I haven’t seen anywhere else at competitions so far. Who knows, perhaps another federation will take inspiration from it,” says Tereza Rauturier.
