Denis Ivan won gold in Olympic recurve archery, while Liliana Lacová took silver in compound archery.
In athletics, Lea Majerníková claimed gold in shot put, and Richard Holenda earned silver in both the 100-meter sprint and long jump, setting a personal best in the latter.
Slovakia’s boccia team also excelled, with Eliška Jankechová winning gold in the BC2 category and Nina Melicherová taking bronze.
