Barbora Špotáková, born on 30 June 1981, is a former Czech track and field athlete who competed in the javelin throw. She is a two-time Olympic champion and a three-time world champion, and she holds the current world record in the women's javelin with a throw of 72.28 metres. The opening of the source article gives only these headline facts, so this entry records her as one of the leading javelin throwers of her era and leaves the specific Games, championships and seasons to later depth work, where each result can be cited to its own source page rather than inferred here. Her standing rests on the combination of repeated global titles and a world record that remains the benchmark for the event, which places her among the most accomplished Czech athletes in track and field.
