The Czech Republic can celebrate another medal from this year’s Olympic Games in Paris. After the bronze fencers, the tennis couple Kateřina Siniaková and Tomáš Macháč also added gold, defeating the Chinese couple Zhang Ch’chen and Wang Sinyu 2:1 in sets.
It was already clear after the success of the Czech tennis couple on Thursday that the tennis players would be on the right track on Friday, who defeated the Canadian pair of Félix Auger-Aliassime and Gabriela Dabrovská twice 6:3, and they already announced that the Czech Republic would receive a medal from this year’s games. . However, the question was whether they would bring the most valuable metal, or if the result would be enough “only” for silver. In the end, option number one fell through.
However, Macháč himself must continue to concentrate. He still remains in contention for a medal in the men’s doubles. Alongside Adam Pavlásk, they lost to the Americans 0:2 in sets in Thursday’s fight for the final, but they still have a battle for bronze ahead of them. Tennis players Karolína Muchová and Linda Nosková will also fight for the same metal in the women’s doubles. However, Kateřina Siniaková together with Barbora Krejčíková, who a few weeks ago lifted the Wimbledon winner’s trophy above her head, were unable to defeat the Russian players in the semi-finals, and for Siniaková, this year’s mixed doubles gold medal at the Olympics has definitely ended.
On Friday, the Czech fencers celebrated as well, as they performed an incredible turn against the French in the team fight. He was taken care of by fencer Jakub Jurka in the last duel and thus made forty-two-year-old Jiří Beran happy, for whom these are the last Olympic Games.
On Friday, many sports fans also held their fists for the judoka Lukáš Krpálek, who successfully defeated the Dutchman Snippe in his first match, but the giant Japanese Saitó was beyond his strength. An opponent who was forty kilograms heavier threw Krpálek on the shoulder blades and thus prevented the Czech fighter from defending his gold from Tokyo.
If we do not count the aforementioned gold and bronze, the Czech expedition in Paris is relatively unsuccessful for the time being. For the time being, even the biggest medal hopes such as swimmer Barbora Seemanová and water slalom athlete Jiří Prskavec have not made it. Bronze fencer Alexander Choupenitch, gold brocader Jiří Lipták from Tokyo and canoeist Gabriela Satková have also competed three years ago in Tokyo, and Lukáš Rohan won silver in Tokyo.
However, all hopes are still not over. There is still more than a week left until the closing ceremony of the Olympics, and several Czech medal hopefuls are still waiting for their start. The volleyball players Perušič and Schweiner and Hermannová and Štochlova are still in the game. Javelin thrower Jakub Vadlejch, who reports his life form, is among the great hopes. He will make his first appearance in Paris on August 6 and wants to at least defend the silver from Tokyo.

Climber Adam Ondra, who did not like climbing in a triple combination in Tokyo, will certainly want to show himself. However, speed climbing is a separate discipline this year, so Ondra will present himself for the first time on August 5th and 7th in the semi-finals of the combination of bouldering and classic climbing. The eventual final will take place two days later.
On Wednesday, August 7, the first speed canoeing races will also take place, where the Czech Republic has its iron in the fire in the form of Martin Fuksa. He does not hide his ambition to go to Paris for some of the precious metals.
The four-time Olympic medalist, kayaker Josef Dostál, knows very well what the weight of an Olympic medal feels like on his neck. On August 7th, the first heats are waiting for that too. However, taekwondo player Petra Štolbová could also surprise on the same day.
