Martina Moravcová

Slovak swimmer

Martina Moravcová belongs to the record of competitive swimming as a competitor whose results still define part of the sport.

The record lists Martina Moravcová as Slovak swimmer.

Martina Moravcová was born at Piešťany in 1976. Her recorded nationality is Slovakia.

Modern sport is measured to the hundredth of a second, watched globally and supported by full-time coaching, medicine and analytics.

She competed at 2008 Summer Olympics, 2004 Summer Olympics and 1996 Summer Olympics.

In sport the margin between the remembered and the forgotten is often a fraction of a second.

Her record includes the Honda Sports Award for Swimming & Diving, Ľudovít Štúr Order 2nd class and Cross of the President of the Slovak Republic, 1st Class.

That the career was built from Slovakia matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.

Martina Moravcová is still competing or recently retired, and the final placing in the sport's history is not yet settled.
