WomenSport International Tribute and Appreciation to Dr. Nada Knorre

Nada and I  met in September 1999 at a regional seminar on women and sport for the European Olympic Committee in Zagreb, Croatia. I was a speaker at the seminar when Nada introduced herself as the Chairperson of the Women and Sport Committee (WSC) for the Czech Olympic Committee since 1997. She asked if I could help her with the development of the work of the Women Sport Committee. This request was the start of a collaboration between us, the Norwegian School of Sport Science and the Czech Olympic Committee and the start of a friendship that has lasted over 20 years.
