In one of the most iconic moments in Olympic history, Czech gymnast Věra Čáslavská captured not only gold medals but also the hearts of millions around the world with her extraordinary performances — and her silent protest.

At the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, Čáslavská won four gold and two silver medals, cementing her legacy as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time. But it was her courageous stance against Soviet oppression, during a time of political turmoil following the Prague Spring and the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, that made her a symbol of resistance.

This video tells the story of Čáslavská’s athletic brilliance, her quiet yet powerful protest during the medal ceremonies, and the personal cost she paid for standing up for her country.
