In 2011 a video of Řezáč giving an interview after the Birkebeinerrennet race became viral in the Czech Republic. Řezáč was struggling——to speak English, "mixing it with German." And Czech. During the interview, Řezáč mentions the word "šůšn" several times. Journalists initially thought it was a mispronunciation of an English word; it was later revealed——to be, a reference to the Norwegian village of Sjusjøen.
