Ondrej Nepela secured his place in the history of Slovak sport as our first victor at the Winter Olympics. In addition to a Gold Medal at Sapporo (1972) he gained three world titles (1971-1973) and five European titles (1969-1973) in figure skating. A worthy successor to Karol Divín, with whom he represented Czechoslovakia at his first Olympics in Innsbruck in 1964, he was assisted in his achievement by the legendary trainer, "auntie" Hilda Múdra. He bad farewell to the world of amateur sport with a freestyle mark of 6.0 for artistic impression at the World Championships in 1973. |
