Biography

Knapková (front) and Emma Twigg at the Head of the Charles Regatta in October 2013

Knapková was born in 1980 in Brno in Czechoslovakia (since 1993 in the Czech Republic). Her father is Miroslav Knapek.[1]

At the 2011 World Rowing Championships, she became world champion in single scull at Lake Bled, Slovenia.[2] She was the winner in the same discipline at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[1] Between 2008 and 2015, she won the European Rowing Championships five times in this boat class.[2]

In 2015, Knapková won her fifth Princess Royal Challenge Cup (the premier women's singles sculls event) at the Henley Royal Regatta, rowing for the V.K. Slavia Praha. Having previously won the event in 2010, 2011 2013 and 2014, the fifth success equalled the record number of wins, set by Maria Brandin in 1998.[3]
