The doubles pair Kateřina Siniaková, Barbora Krejčíková will play for gold against the Swiss Belinda Bencicová and Viktoria Golubicová. Pavel Maslák also got into the action in the 400-meter run, but he disappointed with a time of 47.01 and finished seventh in his run. Vít Müller is still waiting for the start.

Miloslav Příhoda was the first Czech rider to introduce himself in the cross country part, which is the second part of the race in versatility. A slower ride with one mistake ranks him among the weaker riders on the starting field. Miroslav Trunda had big problems with the mare Shutterflake on the track, he was significantly penalized and he is still ten places behind his national team colleague.
In the swimming competitions, for the fourth time this year’s holiday under five circles, the American Caeleb Dressel rejoiced in gold, this time winning on the shortest crawling track – 50 meters. Australian swimmer Emma McKeon ruled the women’s field in the same discipline.
