Martina gets emotional after receiving an honorable award

In an interview with Czech Radion, she said, “When the email came from Mr. Vystrčil saying I would receive the silver medal it was sometime in February when I had some health difficulties. I said to myself, Are they afraid I’ll die before they give it to me? They wanted to give it to me in New York, but I could hardly walk. I said, Hopefully, I will come to Řevnice and we’ll manage it when I’m in Prague… It means a lot to me – but you know I’m more used to gold”.

Even after going through such a hard time and battling through a difficult phase, Martina continues to have a humorous approach to life. The silver medal is a fitting tribute to Navratilova’s remarkable career and personal positions.
