Czechoslovakia at the 1924 Winter Olympics

Czechoslovakia participated in the Olympic Winter Games in 1924 in Chamonix with a delegation of 24 athletes in three sports part. The Czechoslovak NOK had reported 26 athletes to the games, 24 of which participated in competitions. A total of four athletes were already for the second time at the Olympic Games here:

  • Vilém Loos (1920 Ice Hockey)
  • January palouš (1920 Ice Hockey)
  • Josef " Boban " Šroubek (1920 Ice Hockey)
  • Otakar Vindyš (1920 Ice Hockey)

Balance: each 12 athletes presented the skiers and hockey players the largest contingents of the Czechoslovak team. But size is not always Medals warranty. Bronze in hockey, as in 1920, was in his sights. But the team just missed out on the finals and also with the skiers scored Josef Adolf with 6th place in the Nordic combined the best result. Otherwise, the Czechoslovaks supplied with Italy and Switzerland a hot three-way battle for the top spots in the midfield. They had the nose slightly forward. If not for a medal, but a surprise was the figure skater Josef Sliva, who finished fourth, to the surprise of journalists, while the favored John Page from the UK, Pierre Brunet of France and Nathaniel Niles from the U.S. left behind. A " flash in the pan ", because later you never heard from him again.
