The Czech Republic competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro , Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's sixth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics after splitting from the former Czechoslovakia . The Czech team consisted of 105 athletes, 63 men and 42 women, across twenty sports. [2]

Czech Republic returned home from Rio de Janeiro with a total of 10 medals (1 gold, 2 silver, and 7 bronze), marking the country's second-most successful Olympics, behind tallies of 11 achieved at Atlanta 1996 and London 2012 . [3] [4] Three of the medals were awarded to the Czech squad in canoeing and tennis, while the rest to the competitors in judo, track and field, mountain biking, and rowing.

Among the medalists were 2014 world judo champion Luka? Krpalek , who captured the country's only gold medal in the men's half-heavyweight division (100 kg), and rower Ond?ej Synek , who managed to add a bronze to his Olympic career treasury of two silvers in the men's single sculls . [5] Flatwater canoeist and two-time world champion Josef Dostal contributed two of the country's medals, picking up a silver in the K-1 1000 m , and a bronze as a member of the Czech crew in the kayak four, his second consecutive medal in that event. [6] Despite witnessing her three-peat bid come to an end with a bronze at the Games, double Olympic champion Barbora ?potakova cemented her place in history as the first woman to score three medals in the javelin throw. [7] Mountain biker Jaroslav Kulhavy closed out the nation's Olympic campaign by taking home the silver medal in the men's cross-country race, losing his title defense to Switzerland's Nino Schurter .

Competitors [ edit ]

Czech Olympic Committee fielded a roster of 105 athletes, 63 men and 42 women, to compete across twenty sports at these Games; it was the nation's smallest delegation sent to the Olympics since the breakup of the former Czechoslovakia . [2] [8] Moreover, Czech Republic did not send teams in any of the collective sports for the first time in the nation's Olympic history.

Of the 105 participants, sixty of them attended at least a single Olympiad, with the rest making their debut in Rio de Janeiro. Track and field accounted for the largest number of athletes on the team with 25 entries. Golf, artistic gymnastics, triathlon, weightlifting, and wrestling all had a single competitor.

Thirteen of the nation's past Olympic medalists returned, including four defending champions from London 2012 : javelin thrower Barbora ?potakova , modern pentathlete David Svoboda , single sculls rower Miroslava Knapkova , and mountain biker Jaroslav Kulhavy . [2] 2008 trap shooting champion David Kostelecky , synchronized swimmer So?a Bernardova , and former cross-country skier Kate?ina Nash in mountain biking headed the full roster of Czech athletes by participating in their fifth Olympics as the most experienced competitors. They were followed by Knapkova, ?potakova, Kulhavy, long-distance and open water swimmer Jana Pechanova , double rowing medalist Ond?ej Synek in the men's single sculls, and high jumper and 2004 bronze medalist Jaroslav Baba , all of whom vied for their fourth straight Games.

Other notable athletes on the Czech roster included reigning silver medalists Andrea Hlava?kova and Lucie Hradecka in the women's tennis doubles, 2012 bronze medalist and double world champion Zuzana Hejnova in the women's 400 m hurdles, and 2014 world judo champion Luka? Krpalek , who was selected to be the country's flag bearer in the opening ceremony. [1] [9]

Rifle shooting rookie Filip Nepejchal and freestyle swimming teen Barbora Seemanova , both of whom competing under 18, were Czech Republic's youngest competitors, with Kostelecky rounding out the field as the oldest member (aged 41). Double canoeing champion Martin Doktor served as the team's chef de mission for the Games. [2]

The Czech Republic has entered eight tennis players (two men and six women) into the Olympic tournament. Toma? Berdych (world no. 8) and Ji?i Vesely (world no. 67) qualified directly for the men's singles as two of the top 56 eligible players in the ATP World Rankings, while Petra Kvitova (world no. 11), Karolina Pli?kova (world no. 17), Lucie ?afa?ova (world no. 29), and Barbora Strycova (world no. 30) did so for the women's singles based on their WTA World Rankings as of 6 June 2016.

Having been directly entered to the singles, Berdych and Vesely also opted to play with their partners Radek ?t?panek and Luka? Rosol , respectively, in the men's doubles. Meanwhile, reigning silver medalists Andrea Hlava?kova and Lucie Hradecka teamed up together for their second Olympic stint in the women's doubles by virtue of the latter's top-10 WTA ranking. [35] [36]

On 16 July 2016, Berdych and Pli?kova announced that both of them withdrew from the Games due to personal and family concerns on Zika virus. Instead, Rosol (world no. 71) took over Berdych's place in the men's singles and doubles. [37] On 27 July 2016, Vesely joined them as one of the Czech tennis players to be pulled out from the Games, citing chest pains. [38]
