Early life edit
Miculyčová is from Kostelec nad Orlicí in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. In 2018 a skatepark was built in her hometown and her parents bought her a BMX for Christmas.[1] She also played football and made it to the under-15 national team and received an offer to play from Sparta Prague but her mother preferred her to stay at home and finish her education.[2]
Career edit
Miculyčová became the first Czech rider to complete a back flip in competition. She won the 2022 European BMX Championships in Munich, Germany, in August 2022, triumphing over a field that included Olympic medalists Charlotte Worthington and Nikita Ducarroz. This win came about despite Miculyčová suffering a hematoma in her thigh which hampered her later runs in the competition.[3] She followed this up with bronze at the 2022 UCI Urban Cycling World Championships held in Abu Dhabi.[4]
