World Athletics is deeply saddened to hear that 1952 Olympic javelin champion and former world record-holder Dana Zatopkova died on Friday at the age of 97.
Sleep well Dana -gold medal for javelin in the 1952 Olympics (only an hour after her husband, Emil Zátopek, won the 5,000 m), and the silver medal in the 196 Olympics. She was the European champion in 1954 and 1958. She also set a world record in 1958 (55.73 m) when she was 35...
Ve věku 97 let zemřela Dana Zátopková, dvojnásobná olympijská medailistka v hodu oštěpem, dvojnásobná mistryně Evropy a manželka nejúspěšnějšího českého běžce Emila Zátopka. Děkujeme za všechno, odpočívejte v pokoji!
