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.
