Winter Sports

Lukáš Bauer, born on 18 August 1977, is a Czech cross-country skier who has competed since 1996. He won the Olympic silver medal in the 15 km classical on 17 February 2006 and the bronze medal in the 15 km freestyle at the 2010 Winter Olympics, and his best result at the world championships was second place in the 15 km classic in 2009. In the 2007-08 season he was overall winner of the Tour de Ski and of the World Cup, and in 2010 he won the Tour de Ski again in a dramatic come-from-behind victory over the Norwegian Petter Northug. He confirmed his retirement from the Czech national team after the 2017 world championships in Lahti, kept racing long distances with his own team, and in 2019 was named head coach of the Polish men's cross-country team.
