Sáblíková’s coach envisages many more Olympics medals, possibly even in Summer Games
The coach of gold medalist Martina Sáblíková says the speed skater is likely to take part in at least three more Winter Olympic Games and could even participate in the Summer Olympics. Petr Novák told the newspaper Mladá fronta Dnes that he believes Sáblíková, who is 22, will win two gold medals at every Winter Games she appears in. There have also been suggestions that the speed skater could compete in some form of cycling in the Summer Games, though Novák said he did not know if she would be ready in time for the Olympics in London in 2012. Sáblíková has taken gold in the 3,000 metres in Vancouver and is expected to win another in the 5,000 metres on Wednesday. She also earned a bronze medal in the 1,500 metres.
