The top athlete of her time represented Czechoslovakia in gymnastics.

In the most valuable jersey, she became the holder of a silver and bronze medal from the World Championships and is co-owner of the historically best individual result of a gymnast with Slovak roots at the Olympic Games, when she finished fourth on balance beam in Melbourne (1956). Her performance is considered the best performance in the history of Slovak gymnastics. Another member of the Kysuck Sports Hall of Fame is former football representative Ladislav Pecko. The native of Krásna nad Kysucou is one of the best players in Slovan Bratislava's history. In his jersey, he won the Czechoslovak title as a player and added four more titles after the division of the republic. He has three victories in the Slovak Cup and one cup triumph from 1989. He also helped Slovan to the national title and the Slovak Cup as head coach, winning both in 2009.
