Michal Krysta pilot

Michal Krysta has belonged to universal sportsmen in Czech outdoor for several years. Running, paragliding, cycling, kayaking, climbing – all these activities at extreme level and with enormous will to win. 

He started his sports career with the second place in the World Championship in wild water canoeing. From water Michal moved to mountains, his strongest experience being the expedition Changabang in the Indian Himalaya and trying to climb it first through the northern wall. However, he aimed higher and higher. It was paragliding that helped him to win, which is his main sports activity at present. In 2013 he participated in one of the most difficult events in the world – Red Bull XAlps, where as the only nominated Czech he achieved the 19th place. In 2014 he took part in another extreme event of X-Pyr. Michal takes part in extreme relay races and cross-country triathlon. One of his next aims is to participate in Ironman on Hawaii and a solo-bivouac-flight in South America.
