2008 Olympic Team

Defending Olympic champion Roman Šebrle, the Decathlon World record holder, has struggled with muscle injuries in his build up to Beijing, while Barbora Špotáková, who like Šebrle is a reigning World champion, has been in great form. The two athletes head the 29 strong mission going to next month’s Olympics.

While the world’s greatest decathlete has had his injury problems there is no doubt that the multiple Czech record holder in the women’s Javelin Throw is even stronger than previous years. Špotáková threw her national record at the end of May in Zaragoza, respectively 69.15m.

Other possible medal hopes reside in Jaroslav Bába, bronze medallist in Athens, who will be accompanied by Tomáš Janků, European silver medallist. Then there is also the World silver medallist in the women’s Pole Vault, Kateřina Baďurová who has made a great comeback from injury last winter. 2005 World Discus bronze medallist Věra Cechlová is another name to watch out for, having come fourth in Athens.

For 16 Czech athletes out of the 29 Beijing squad it will be their first Olympic participation, there are 17 men and 12 women in the team. Two more women have fulfilled standard but they will miss Olympics. High jumper Barbora Laláková dropped out after a torn Achilles’ heel, pole-vaulter Pavla Rybová is pregnant.[2]
