# Iveta Miculyčová

Iveta Miculyčová (born 15 September 2005) is a Czech BMX cyclist. In 2022 she became the European Champion in Freestyle Park and won the bronze medal at the 2022 World Championships.

## Early life

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. 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.

## Career

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. She followed this up with bronze at the 2022 UCI Urban Cycling World Championships held in Abu Dhabi.
