The celebrations for the 25 years since the establishment of the Slovak Olympic Committee

The NOC of Slovakia celebrated its 25th Anniversary at National Theatre in Bratislava on 22 September. Celebrations started in December 2017 and lasted 9 months, culminating in the big Gala in the Slovak capital. Among those in attendance were several Slovak Olympic medallists, as well as past and present Board members.

Slovakia has never gone to an Olympic Games – Summer or Winter – and returned empty-handed. Most recently at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, the country took home a gold and two silver medals, reaching over the last 25 years a total Olympic medal haul of an impressive 36: 12 gold, 16 silver and 8 bronze.
