Skier Jan Fleissner won the repair ride with confidence and advanced to Sunday’s quarterfinal of the rowing regatta. The double skiff Lenka Antošová and Kristýna Fleissnerová took third place in the corrective race and are already in the semifinals. It also goes on Sunday. The double skiff Jakub Podrazil, Jan Cincibuch, ends when he finished fourth in the repair.
Cyclists are already in the game of precious metal, Zdeněk Štybar and Michael Kukrl are waiting for a race with a mass start.
However, the first Olympic winner in Tokyo will be crowned before the cyclists reach the finish line, traditionally she will be the best woman in air rifle shooting. Sports fans remember that thirteen years ago, the Beijing Games began with Kateřina Emmons gold.
This time Nikola Šarounová is in the game, but she is not one of the favorites, even though she already has bronze from the European Games in 2019 in Minsk. It will be her second Olympic start, five years ago in Rio de Janeiro she was still eighteenth under the maiden name Mazur. Qualification starts at 1:30.
In the first round, table tennis player Lubomír Jančařík fights Chadráví from Saudi Arabia to improve his result from previous games in Rio, where he just finished in the opening round. Czech tennis players Barbora Krejčíková and Markéta Vondroušová are waiting for their Olympic debut.
