Barbora Špotáková competed in athletics at a level that the sport still measures itself against.
The record lists Barbora Špotáková as Czech javelin thrower.
Barbora Špotáková was born at Jablonec nad Nisou in 1981. Her recorded nationality is Czech Republic.
Modern sport is measured to the hundredth of a second, watched globally and supported by full-time coaching, medicine and analytics.
She competed at athletics at the 2008 Summer Olympics – women's javelin throw, athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics – women's javelin throw and athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics – women's javelin throw.
Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.
Her record includes the Czech Medal of Merit, Jiří Guth-Jarkovský prize and honorary citizen of Jablonec nad Nisou.
That the career was built from Czech Republic matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
Barbora Špotáková is still competing or recently retired, and the final placing in the sport's history is not yet settled.
