The Czech Republic, officially named Czechia by the IOC, competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. Czech athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except for three occasions: Athens 1896, St. Louis 1904 and Los Angeles 1984 as part of the Soviet boycott. It is the nation's eighth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics after splitting from the former Czechoslovakia.

The Czech Republic left Paris with a total of five Olympic medals (three gold and two bronze), the least amount of medals in the history of the country and least amount of medals since 1932 Summer Olympics.[1] Two of the medals were awarded to the Czech team in canoeing, while the rest were awarded in fencing, tennis and track and field.

Among the medalists were that year French Open and Wimbledon champion in doubles Kateřina Siniaková, who captured her second consecutive gold medal in tennis, this time with Tomáš Macháč in mixed doubles,[2] flatwater canoeist Josef Dostál picked up gold in the K-1 1000 m event,[3] his fifth medal in four consecutive Games being the most decorated Czech athlete at the Summer Olympics since the breakup of the former Czechoslovakia. Martin Fuksa managed to win gold medal in the C-1 1000 metres event in best olympic time of 3:43.16.[4]

Czech épée fencing team (Jiří Beran, Jakub Jurka, Martin Rubeš and Michal Čupr) won the bronze medal in the team event after defeating acting world champions and runner-ups from Italy and France.[5] It was only the second medal from fencing competitions for the Czech Republic and fourth overall in the history of the Olympic Games. Nikola Ogrodníková won the bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics[6] making it the fifth consecutive medal in javelin throw for the Czech Republic and the eighth medal from the last nine Olympic Games in this sport.

Other notable achievements by Czech athletes include Radek Juška, who in long jump became only the second athlete who made it to the Olympic final for the Czech Republic or Czechoslovakia and with 8.15 m achieved the longest jump at the Olympic Games made by Czech or Czechoslovak athlete in history. Amálie Švábíková set a new national record at 4.80 m in pole vault; previous record was held by Jiřina Ptáčníková. Švábíková ended up 5th in the final, the second-best result in women's pole vault for Czech athlete at the Olympic games.[7] In swimming Barbora Seemanová equaled her result from Tokyo at 6th place,[7] the best result for a Czech swimmer since 2000 Summer Olympics. In Madison 7th place achieved by Jan Voneš and Denis Rugovac was the best result in this discipline for the Czech Republic so far and the best result achieved by Czech athlete in track cycling since 2004 Summer Olympics. Also 14th place of Mathias Vacek in road race was the best result of a Czech athlete in this event since 1988 Summer Olympics.[7] Lukáš Rohan who was at the time of the competition in kayak cross marked as 136th in world ranking managed to get 4th place in the competition. Martin Vlach in men's pentathlon set a new Olympic record in shooting/running part of 713 points in the semifinal of the competition. It lasted one day, when Emiliano Hernández broke that record in the final with 720 points. Tomáš Staněk's 21.61 m in men's shot put in the semifinal was the best result by Czech athlete at the olympics. Tereza Hrochová equaled the best result by Czech athlete at the Olympic games in women's marathon at 26th place and achieved the best time by Czech or Czechoslovak athlete in this discipline at the olympics. Karolína Maňasová's participation in 100m race was only second one since 1972 Summer Olympics for Czech or Czechoslovak woman but her time 11.11 s was the fastest ever at this distance in history. Also the time of 1:45.62 achieved by Jakub Dudycha at the 800m distance was the best time by a Czech or Czechoslovak athlete ever at the Olympic games.

These Olympic Games mark the first time since independence when the Czech Republic didn't achieve any medal in canoe slalom, which is regarded as one of the most successful Czech olympic sports regarding the medal count.[7]

Competitors

[edit]

Czech Olympic Committee fielded a roster of 111 athletes, 62 men and 49 women, to compete across 23 sports at these Games; it was the nation's second smallest delegation sent to the Olympics since the breakup of the former Czechoslovakia. Czech Republic did not send teams in any of the collective sports for the second time in the nation's Olympic history. Of the 111 participants, 51 of them attended at least a single Olympiad, with the rest making their debut in Paris.

Track and field accounted for the largest number of athletes on the team with 30 entries although Czechia didn't enter a decathlon athlete for the first time in history. Also for the first time since 1956 Summer Olympics there was no athlete in wrestling competitions due to late injury of Artur Omarov.[8] Table tennis, artistic gymnastics, sport climbing, triathlon and weightlifting all had a single competitor.

Nine of the nation's past Olympic medalists returned, including all of defending champions from Tokyo 2020: tennis players Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková, slalom canoeist Jiří Prskavec, judoka Lukáš Krpálek and trap shooter Jiří Lipták.

2016 and 2020 champion in judo Lukáš Krpálek, four-time medalist in sprint canoeing Josef Dostál, silver medalist in javelin throw from Tokyo Jakub Vadlejch, double sculls rowers Lenka Lukšová and Miroslav Vraštil and cross-country biker Ondřej Cink headed the full roster of Czech athletes by participating in their fourth Olympics as the most experienced competitors. They were followed by flatwater canoeists Martin Fuksa and double bronze medalist Daniel Havel, slalom canoeist Jiří Prskavec, bronze medalist in foil fencing Alexander Choupenitch, golfer Klára Davidson Spilková, beach player Barbora Hermannová, table tennis player Hana Matelová, swimmer Barbora Seemanová, shot putter Tomáš Staněk, pistol shooter Martin Podhráský, skeet shooter Jakub Tomeček and trap shooter Jiří Lipták, all of whom vied for their third Games.

Artistic gymnast Soňa Artamonová aged 16 years old was Czech Republic's youngest competitor, with épée fencer Jiří Beran and shooter Jiří Lipták rounding out the field as the oldest members (aged 42). Double canoeing champion Martin Doktor served as the team's chef de mission for the Games.[7]
