Daniela Bártová

Daniela Bártová-Břečková (Czech pronunciation: [ˈdanɪjɛla ˈbaːrtovaː ˈbr̝ɛtʃkovaː]; born 6 May 1974[1]) is a Czech retired athlete.

Life and career

She was born in Ostrava. Originally a gymnast, her coach persuaded her to be a pole vaulter. She set nine world records in the mid-1990s, but she lost it on 25 November 1995 to Sun Caiyun and was unable to recapture it.[2] Her personal best is 4.51 m (Bratislava, Slovakia, 9 June 1998).[1]

Despite her success she only won one international medal, a silver medal at the 1998 European Indoor Championships.[1]

As a gymnast, she represented the Czech Republic at the 1991 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, placing 33rd in the all-around event. She also took part in the 1992 Summer Olympics, but was eliminated in the qualifying rounds.[3]

In 2001, Bártová decided to retire her sports career due to problems with her Achilles tendon.[4]

Bártová is married to flatwater canoer Jan Břečka. In December, 2002 they had a son named Jan, after his father.[5]
