Not long after the Olympic games began the Czechs have already won their first gold medal. The 22-year-old speed skater, Martina Sablikova, conquered a 3,000-meter long race like it was a piece of cake. But the real piece of cake was waiting for her at the Czech House in Vancouver, fashionably shaped as an ice-skating ring with an image of a speed-skater in the middle. The cake of just the sweet ‘snack’ ,however. Sablikova also received a price of 1,5 million Czech crowns and a one-year-long free supply of Pilsener Urquell!
Congrats, Martina!
CZ: Kratce po zacatku OH ve Vancoveru se Cesi vyznamenali zlatou medali za rychlobruleni. Dvaadvacetileta Martina Sablikova zkonala zavod na 3000 metru jako by se nechumelilo. Sladka odmena na ni cekala v Ceskem dome ve Vancouveru, a to velky dort ve tvaru rychloburslarskeho ovalu s venovanim. To byl ve skutecnosti ale jenom takovy ‘zakusecek’; k tomu obdrzela cenu 1,5 milionu korun a s trenerem se muze tesit na pivo zdramva v budoucim roce od Plzenskeho Prazdroje!
Gratulujeme, Martino!

That is seriously cool. A year-long supply of Pilsner? Very, very cool.
I only hope that the Czech republic will finally build her a professional speed skating oval so that she doesn’t have to train at a pond and in the kitchen on a linoleum.
What??? You serious??!! They don’t have a real proffessional speed skating ring for her? No way! Well, it looks like she doesn’t really need it
Yes, she trains outside of the Czech Republic maybe Germany.
Congrats to her.
Good for her!!! I am sure she worked super hard. I cannot believe Czech Republic does not have a speed skating ring.
