Two medals for Czechia at cyclocross world championships

Kristýna Zemanová won a silver medal in the under-23 category at the Cyclocross World Championships in Tábor on Sunday. She was beaten by 19-year-old Zoe Bäckstedt from Wales by 44 seconds.

Zemanová's silver was the second medal won by Czechs in the cycling competition this year, after sixteen-year-old Kryštof Bažant took the bronze for Czechia in the Men's Junior race. He was half a minute behind the winner, Stefano Viezzi from Italy, and 22 seconds behind the silver medallist, Keije Solen from the Netherlands.

Bažant was competing against over 70 others and Zemanová against more than 30, from as far afield as Australia, Canada, the United States and Japan.
