The most comprehensive, comprehensive and up-to-date encyclopedia of Czechoslovak and Czech Olympic sports. Do you know who the "mysterious" Hedwig Rosenbaum was, who brought back two Olympic medals from Paris in 1900? What were the fates of the first Czechoslovak Olympic winner, Bedřich Šupčík? Or Dana and Emil Zátopková, legends of Czechoslovak sports? Which hockey players won gold in the Nagano 1998 hockey "tournament of the century"? You can read not only about these Czechoslovak and Czech sports personalities in the most comprehensive, comprehensive and up-to-date Encyclopedia of Olympians. In seven hundred medallions, it represents athletes who, since the beginning of the modern Olympic Games, have won a medal in individual or team sports or placed sixth among individuals. The encyclopedia includes a short cross-section of the history of the Czech Olympic movement, an overview of the individual Olympic Games, as well as an index that includes all Czech and Czechoslovak participants in Olympic competitions - from František Jandy-Suk to Ester Ledecká. In many ways, the encyclopedia updates or clarifies information that is often erroneously handed down and summarizes existing knowledge about Czechoslovak, or Czech sport and the Olympic movement.
