Czechia wins five medals, finishes 16th at Winter Olympics

Czechia finished 16th in the medal table at the Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, winning two golds, two silvers and one bronze.

Snowboarder Zuzana Maděrová won gold in the parallel giant slalom and speed skater Metoděj Jílek triumphed in the 10,000 metres. Jílek also took silver in the 5,000 metres, while snowboardcross rider Eva Adamczyková won another silver. Biathlete Tereza Voborníková added a bronze in the mass start on the penultimate day of the Games.

In terms of medal value, this year’s Czech team recorded its third-best result in Winter Olympics history. Only the 2014 Sochi Games and the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics brought a stronger medal tally. Norway once again topped the medal table.
