For the April competition we stay with the Olympics:
Our mystery lady was born in Prague in 1932. As a student of medicine she took up the discus and won gold at the Melbourne Olympics in 1956. There she fell in love with the American gold medal winning hammer thrower. The couple got married in Prague but she was no longer allowed to represent communist Czechoslovakia. At the consequent four Olympic Games she represented the US and even carried the US flag at the opening ceremony of the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Please send us your answers to English@radio.cz or Radio Prague, 12099 Prague and don't forget about Radio Prague's annual writing contest – this year also concerning Czech sport. All the details can be found on our website or in our programmes throughout the week. Until next week, take care.
