Anton Sluka

Anton Sluka is a Paralympic athlete from Slovakia who competed mainly in category B3 marathon events. He first competed at the Paralympics in 1992 in Barcelona for Czechoslovakia, where he finished fifth in the 5000 metres and won the silver medal in the marathon behind Britain's Mark Farnell. Four years later at the 1996 Games in Atlanta, competing for Slovakia, he reversed that result and took the marathon gold ahead of Farnell, who won silver. At the 2000 Paralympic Games he won a second marathon silver medal. In 2004 he did not finish the Athens marathon, which was the last time he ran a Paralympic marathon. The article lists no birth date, so none is recorded here, and it points to the International Paralympic Committee and the Czech and Slovak Paralympic committees for his official profile.
