Baku, February 11, AZERTAC
Martina Sablikova became the most decorated Czech Olympian on Thursday at the Beijing Games when she won the seventh speed skating medal of her career - an achievement she hadn't even expected herself, according to Reuters.
Competing at her fifth Olympics, the 34-year-old skated the 5,000 metres with a steady lap time of about 32 seconds to clinch the bronze medal in six minutes and 50.09 seconds.
She has a string of medals to her name already, including golds in the 5,000 metres at the Vancouver and Sochi Olympics, and a gold in the 3,000 metres at Vancouver.
Sablikova had finished fourth in the women's 3,000 metres on Saturday.
