Cyclo-cross: Štybar wins championship for fifth time

The defending World Cyclo-cross champion Zdenek Štybar won the Czech championship for the fifth time on Saturday, almost a minute ahead of nearest rival Martin Zlámalík in the race, which was held in the Hlinsko area. Jaroslav Kulhavý finished in third place. The championship race on Saturday was the 60th in the history of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. Štybar’s record of five wins ties that of Petr Dlask; the all-time record of seven wins belongs to Radomír Šimůnek, who passed away last year.
