Adriana Jelinkova is set to ski for the Netherlands again after representing the Czech Republic since 2022. The 31-year-old skier said her cooperation with the Czech team had not worked out and that she had spent months waiting for approval from the International Ski Federation (FIS) to change nationality again. The Dutch Ski Association supported her return, and the approval came in mid-September.

Jelinkova is preparing for the new season from Nago-Torbole in northern Italy, where she is training with her former coach Christian Ratay. She is not taking part in the opening World Cup races in Sölden, Austria, this weekend and said she would first focus on regaining her feel for competition skiing.
