Hudec allowed to race for Czech Republic at 2018 Olympics
PRAGUE — Jan Hudec, an Olympic skiing bronze medalist for Canada, can compete for the Czech Republic at the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang if he qualifies.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Czech Olympic Committee says the IOC executive board approved of Hudec’s switch.
Hudec, aged 35, won the downhill silver medal at the 2007 world championships. He earned super-G bronze at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, giving Canada its first Alpine medal in 20 years.
