Hana's only major title was here at the 1968 Europeans in Vasteras, Sweden. She had beautiful big jumps and was always so glamorous; one of the true skating stars of the era. Tragically she was killed in a car crash in 1972. Random observation - I am always reminded of Hana when I watch Sofia Samodurova, the new 2019 European champion. Uploaded for my good friend John P :) Apologies for the shaky picture and sound. It's old footage! The commentator is 1949 European Champion Dr Eva Pawlik.
