I’m very happy that I managed so well in this my first final in men’s category. This was a wonderful competition, I didn’t expect to win this and I’m a little bit surprised about what happened. I knew that I’m in condition but this surprise me too under the high pressure. I’m very happy man now”, explained Milos Slavicek and received tens of congrats of his fans and team mates.
