		Eliska Junkova later recalled thinking: "If he is going to be the love of my life, then I better learn to love these damned engines." But before long she too became smitten with the beauty of the racing cars on show, especially the Italian-made Bugattis.
		By 1926, Eliska Junkova was good enough to compete in races throughout Europe against the best male divers of the age.
