The Czech Republic participated in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, sending 92 participants, the largest Czech team ever to appear at the Winter Olympics. The Czechs competed in the majority of events, except curling, skeleton and women's ice hockey. Hockey player JaromÃÂr Jágr served as flag bearer at the opening ceremony.
The medal hopes were set on speed skater Martina SáblÃÂková, cross-country skier LukÃ¡à ¡ Bauer, freestyle skier TomÃ¡à ¡ Kraus and alpine skier à  Ã¡rka Záhrobská. As for ice hockey team, the expectations were less ambitious than at previous Olympics and this became true when the Czech teams went out in the quarterfinals. The games of Vancouver were with six medals the most successful in history of independent Czech Republic, equalling the medal count of its predecessor Czechoslovakia from Sarajevo 1984 but surpassing it in quality. The most successful Czech participant (and also the flag bearer during the closing ceremony) was speed skater Martina SáblÃÂková with two gold and one bronze medal.
The Czech Republic qualified two entrants in men's singles and one in ice dancing, for a total of four athletes.
The Czech Republic will play in Group B.
