Martin Doktor ((:ˈmarcɪn ˈdoktor)) (born 21 May 1974 in Polička, Czechoslovakia) is the Czech Republic's best-known sprint canoer. He was double Olympic champion in the Canadian canoe C-1 discipline at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. During the 1996 games, his mother cooked ''knedliky'' (Dumplings in ), using dozens of kg of flour brought over from the Czech Republic. Doktor went on to win 14 medals at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships, including two golds (C-1 200 m: 1998, C-1 500 m: 1997), nine silvers (C-1 200 m: 1997, 1999, 2003; C-1 500 m: 1995, 1999; C-1 1000 m: 1995, 1997, 1998, 2001), and three bronzes (C-1 500 m: 2003, C-1 1000 m: 1999, C-4 1000 m: 1998). He was also European C-1 1000 m champion in 1997 and 2000. At the 2004 Summer Olympics Doktor was unfortunate not to add to his medal tally, coming in fourth in the C-1 1000 m final and fifth in the C-1 500 m. His most recent medal success came at the 2006 European Championships, held in Račice, Czech Republic, where he won the C-1 200 m silver medal. Doktor, nicknamed ''Boban'', remains one of canoeing's most consistent performers. At the 2006 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships he entered all three C-1 events, reaching the final in each. He finished fourth in the 200 m, fifth in the 500 m, and eighth in the 1000 m. He is 178 cm (5'10") tall and weighs 78 kg (172 lbs). ==References== *(ICF medalists for Olympic and World Championships - Part 1: flatwater (now sprint): 1936-2007. ) *(ICF medalists for Olympic and World Championships - Part 2: rest of flatwater (now sprint) and remaining canoeing disciplines: 1936-2007. ) *(Sports-reference.com profile ) *Wallechinsky, David and Jaime Loucky (2008).
