Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis announced plans for the construction of the Vera Caslavska National Training Center, named after the renowned gymnast, during a video statement on Instagram. The initiative, which has been discussed for approximately ten years, will be executed by the Ministry of Interior, following a recent agreement between Babis and Interior Minister Lubomir Metnar. While specific details about the location and timeline for the center were not disclosed, Babis emphasized that the funds would be allocated for the project.

The project aims to serve not only sports gymnastics but also other forms of gymnastics, reflecting the long-standing efforts of the Czech Gymnastics Federation to establish a dedicated training facility. Babis mentioned that the project documentation typically takes about a year to complete, indicating that preparation work would be forthcoming. The announcement has been met with enthusiasm from the gymnastics community, which hopes to see the fulfillment of a long-held goal.

Babis's commitment to the center underlines the government's recognition of the importance of investing in sports infrastructure. As Czechia seeks to enhance its sports environment, the establishment of the Vera Caslavska Training Center could play a significant role in improving facilities for athletes and promoting the visibility of gymnastics in the country, ultimately encouraging youth participation in sports activities.
