Together, they won a silver medal in the archery discipline for mixed couples. Aleš Kisý, representing the Czech Republic in the men’s shot put discipline placed second and won a silver medal for the Czech team. Kisý has already participated in four previous tournaments of the Paralympic Games, however, this year is special for him since it is the first olympic medal ever for the athlete. The Czech team had another opportunity for a celebration on Monday, August 30th, when David Drahonínský won a gold medal in individual archery discipline. In total, it is David’s 6th time obtaining a medal in the Paralympic Games. Miroslav Smrčka, a Czech paralympic swimmer, was not as fortunate as his fellow Czech mates.
