The 2010 Winter Olympics, which have just ended in Vancouver, were the most successful in history for the Czech Republic, whose athletes are bringing home six medals. Czechoslovakia took the same number in Sarajevo in 1984, but the crucial difference is that this time the tally includes gold. In fact, speed skater Martina Sáblíková took two gold medals, becoming the first ever Czech to top the podium twice at one Winter Olympics.
She also earned a bronze medal, as did cross-country skier Lukáš Bauer, the men’s cross country relay team (which included Bauer), and downhill skier Šárka Záhrobská. Záhrobská was the last Czech medallist after the 25-year-old came third in the slalom on Friday to reach the podium at the Olympics for the first time.
