Excerpt: t panka Hilgertova (Czech pronunciation: ) (born 10 April 1968 in Prague) is a Czechoslovak-Czech slalom canoer who has competed since the late 1980s. Competing in six Summer Olympics, she won two gold medals in the K-1 event, earning them in 1996 and 2000. Hilgertova also won twelve medals at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with five golds (K-1: 1999, 2003; K-1 team: 2003, 2005, 2010), five silvers (K-1: 1997, K-1 team: 1991, 2006, 2007, 2011), and two bronzes (K-1: 2007, K-1 team: 1989).
