Jana Šikulová (born 2 July 1988) is a Czech artistic gymnast. She is a multiple Czech national champion[1] and a 2006 European Championships silver medalist on uneven bars.
She also won or medalled in multiple world cup events.[2]
Career
[edit]She was born in Brno. She started gymnastics aged six and reached the top of the Czech gymnastics despite having a vision impairment in her left eye.[3]
Šikulová followed the steps of fellow Brno gymnast Jana Komrsková, being nicknamed "Small Jana" to distinct her from Komrsková.[3]
Although being a top Czech gymnast for years, she did not make it into the olympic squad. Both in 2008 and 2012, she lost the internal Czech competition to Kristýna Pálešová.[citation needed]
In August 2014, Šikulová graduated from the Faculty of Sports Studies of Masaryk University with a Master's degree. She wrote her diploma thesis about the Yurchenko vault.[4]
