Stanislav Řezáč (born 29 April 1973) is a Czech long-distance cross-country skier competing in the Worldloppet Ski Federation series of races.

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

[edit]

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