He is among the most successful athletes in Czech history. As the first man in the world to pass 9,000 points in the decathlon, he wrote himself permanently into the history of the sport.
He represented the Czech Republic at the biggest competitions in the world, winning Olympic gold in Athens 2004, the world title and several European titles.
His versatility, work ethic and years of top-level performances mean he is still considered one of the greatest decathletes of all time.
