Czech canoeists take bronze in kayak four in Rio

The Czech Republic’s canoeists have taken bronze in the kayak four 1,000 metres at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The team of Josef Dostál, Daniel Havel, Jan Štěrba and Lukáš Trefil finished just behind the second-placed Slovaks to equal the Czech Republic’s result at the London Olympics in 2012. The Czechs now have nine medals from Rio: one gold, one silver and seven bronze.
