Markéta Vondroušová reached her first Wimbledon final after a scintillating performance against Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, winning 6-3 6-3 in just an hour and 14 minutes. The 24-year-old Czech star is just the fifth unseeded woman in the Open Era to reach the Wimbledon final and her exquisitely varied game was too much for Svitolina to handle. It was an inspired performance from Vondroušová, who rose to the occasion on Centre Court and got the better of her opponent with a potent mix of speed, spin and power to reach the second grand slam final of her career. There was to be no fairytale ending to Svitolina’s dream run in SW19, but the Ukrainian will undoubtedly leave with her head held high after inspiring her compatriots all over the world. xosotin chelseathông tin chuyển nhượngcâu lạc bộ bóng đá arsenalbóng đá atalantabundesligacầu thủ haalandUEFAevertonfutebol ao vivofutemaxmulticanaisonbetbóng đá world cupbóng đá inter milantin juventusbenzemala ligaclb leicester cityMUman citymessi lionelsalahnapolineymarpsgronaldoserie atottenhamvalenciaAS ROMALeverkusenac milanmbappenapolinewcastleaston villaliverpoolfa cupreal madridpremier leagueAjaxbao bong da247EPLbarcelonabournemouthaff cupasean footballbên lề sân cỏbáo bóng đá mớibóng đá cúp thế giớitin bóng đá ViệtUEFAbáo bóng đá việt namHuyền thoại bóng đágiải ngoại hạng anhSeagametap chi bong da the gioitin bong da lutrận đấu...
The Czech government said late on Wednesday it had banned all athletes representing Russia from taking part in local competitions as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continued. The government said it banned “the participation of individual athletes and sports teams representing the Russian Federation in sports competitions and games organised on Czech soil”. At the same time, athletes and teams representing the Czech Republic must not take part in competitions held in Russia, it added in a statement. The decision was taken at the request of Czech sports associations. Previously, Czech ice hockey players playing in the Russian-based Kontinental Hockey League could not play for the Czech national team, for instance. But the current ban applies to all sports and all athletes competing under the Russian and Czech flags, respectively. There was no information as to whether the move also concerns Belarusian athletes. The Czech Olympic Committee said earlier this year it was against Russian and Belarusian athletes competing at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris under a neutral flag. An EU and NATO member of 10.8 million people, the Czech Republic has provided Ukraine with substantial military and humanitarian aid since the Russian invasion started in February 2022. xosotin...

Based on the popular fictional game of quidditch, as developed by J.K. Rowling for the world of Harry Potter, quadball is a real-life sport that has been gaining in popularity in the past decade. A mixture of rugby, dodgeball, and handball, it is a game that offers plenty of fun. Quadball originated in the United States, but has since spread all over the world, including the Czech Republic. The first Czech team was founded in Olomouc by a student who discovered the game while on Erasmus in Norway. Today, Czechia has quadball teams in cities including Brno, Plzeň, and Prague. But first, what are the rules of the game? Quadball is played in teams of seven players, all of whom are mounted on a (broom)stick throughout the match. Each team has three chasers, two beaters, a keeper, and a seeker. The goal of the chasers is to shoot a deflated volleyball through one of the three hoops set on each side of the pitch. Each score is worth 10 points. The keeper is the player that defends the hoops, while the beaters distract the chasers by hitting them with bludgers (deflated basketballs). The seeker is the player that joins the...
Between the end of July and beginning of August (28.7 – 1.8), the Cee cup will host its 11th edition, featuring the usual Czech clubs of Sparta and Slavia as well as other notable teams from around the world. “We are glad that, despite the difficult economic situation, we will be able to organize the tournament again”, said Roberto De Blasio. Over the past ten editions, an impressive number of top tier teams have participated; most recently, there was last year’s Brazilians of Palmeiras, who won the trophy for their third time in a row, but also the English of Aston Villa, the Ukrainians of Dynamo Kyiv and the Mexicans of Tigres have all graced us with their presence (to name but a few). This year, the newly minted winners of the UEFA Conference League, West Ham United, will be returning to the CEE Cup, as well as the defending champions from Brazil, Palmeiras. In addition to them, we also have the famous Flamengo from Rio de Janeiro, who notably produced players Vinício Junior and Paqueta. Last but not least, there will be the debut of Al Ain FC, the best team from the United Arab Emirates and a finalist of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2018 (against Real Madrid,...
Prague Cricket Club (PCC) is the oldest and the most successful cricket club in the Czech Republic. Its main goal? To spread their love for cricket to as many people as possible. “Once you start playing or watching cricket, you start loving the game. It is called ‘a gentleman’s game’. But I would disagree because anybody can love it,” says Shreetama Dey, the brand manager for Prague Cricket Club who volunteers for the club. While the origins of cricket in this part of the world can be traced back to 1927, Prague Cricket Club was founded in 1997, after a group from commonwealth countries joined together, unified by their love for the sport. Since then, the club has achieved a great deal of accomplishments and has managed to pique the interest of many. “Prague Cricket Club has won 80% of all national cricket tournaments since 2007, has represented Czechia in the 2022 European Cricket League, and has produced many talented players for the Czech national team,” says Shreetama. But what exactly is cricket and how is it played? With origins in 16th century England, cricket was initially a game of aristocracy. It has since gained a global following but is especially...

Even though the start of the Tour de France is still a few weeks away, amateur cyclists will have the chance to get a taste of its atmosphere much earlier. The third edition of the L’Etape Czech Republic race is taking place this Saturday, and once again, it is attracting thousands of enthusiastic participants. The long (142 km) and medium (103 km) routes have been sold out for quite some time. The interest was so high that the organizers even increased the original limits to accommodate five hundred and fifteen hundred participants, respectively. Registration is now only open for the shortest option, a 65-kilometer route. Online registration is available until Thursday, and on-site registration will be possible on Friday. Roads are closed throughout the entire length of the routes.

By: Abigail Calandra Rock climbing is a popular way to reconnect with nature and stay active while getting adrenaline pumping, but a busy schedule, a big city, and cold weather make it difficult to head out into the mountains. Without leaving the city, Prague’s indoor climbing scene provides boulderers, sport climbers, and those putting on climbing shoes for the first time a chance to send some climbs. Indoor rock climbing is an easier and safer way for new climbers to introduce themselves to the community, and Prague has gyms suited to all levels and styles. Equipped with shoes and chalk bags for rent, it’s the perfect time to wander into one of the gyms and begin your climbing journey. Bouldering, a form of climbing involving physical strength and problem-solving without the need for a harness and ropes, is the perfect introduction to climbing to improve core and grip strength and ease into conquering fears of heights. Two climbing gyms in Prague, Boulder Bar in Prague 7 and HUDY Boulder in Prague 8, are exclusively dedicated to this type of climbing. Boulder Bar is located in the Holesovice neighborhood with a local climbing community. The gym is small but newly renovated...
As many as 20,000 West Ham fans are set to travel to Prague for Wednesday night’s Europa Conference League Final. The Hammers face Italian side Fiorentina in their first European final in 47 years. The club has an allocation of around 6,000 at the 19,360-capacity Fortuna Arena, but more than three times that number are expected to make the trip. Supporters without a ticket will be able to watch the game at a fan zone in Letna Park, which has been designated for Hammers fans. The area will be large enough to host the thousands of ticketless supporters. There is set to be a huge police presence, and Prague and West Ham have worked with local authorities to help ensure fans can congregate together safely. The West Ham squad are due to fly out to Prague tonight and David Moyes will lead an open training session at the Sparta Academy, home of Sparta Prague youth teams, tomorrow. The Europa Conference League is in its second season and is a third tier European club football competition after the Champions League and Europa League. Fiorentina finished eighth in this season’s Serie A and have not won a major European title since the 1960-61 European Cup Winners’ Cup. It...
The European League of American Football begins Sunday. For the first time ever, the Czech Republic will be represented. The third edition of the European equivalent of the overseas National Football League (NFL) starts this Sunday, June 4th. Since last year, 6 teams have joined the league meaning 17 teams will compete in the 2023 season. A Netflix crew is following the action and a documentary is in the works. The popularity of American football in Europe is growing every year, as evidenced by the creation of the European Professional Football League (ELF). The ELF has a worldwide reach of over half a billion households who are anxiously watching to see which team will be this year’s winner. “This is a great opportunity for our players to play at the highest European level and show that we have what it takes,” says Prague Lions head coach Zach Harrod. In the first year of the league, only 8 teams participated – six from Germany and one each from Poland and Spain. But in two years, the eight teams have grown to seventeen, each vying for the European Championship title. The Prague Lions themselves will make their first appearance at the FK...
Sparta Prague won a 37th Czech football title and their first in nine years following a goalless draw at FC Slovacko on Tuesday. Sparta have a three-point lead over arch-rivals Slavia Prague with one match to go and a better record from the regular season, which makes them unbeatable. Coached by Danish manager Brian Priske, Sparta have secured a spot in the Champions League qualifiers for next season. The Prague side last won the title in 2014, with their first league trophy dating back to 1912. The club was founded as Královské Vonohrady, or King’s Vineyard, in 1893. They became AC Sparta a year later. The eternal rivalry between Sparta and Slavia, the ‘Derby S’ began in 1896 with a friendly match whose result is still disputed to this day. Attracting working-class support, Sparta earned the nickname Železná, ‘Iron’, Sparta, because of their fighting qualities.
