Paris welcomed athletes and spectators worldwide for a summer of thrilling competitions and unforgettable moments, leaving a lasting mark on Olympic history.<br>In this context, Servotecnica is proud to have contributed to the statue\u2019s creation by artist David \u010cern\u00fd, installed outside the Olympic Village. The sculpture is a tribute to V\u011bra \u010c\u00e1slavsk\u00e1, a Czechoslovak gymnast who, between the 1960s and 1970s, became a seven-time Olympic champion, four-time world champion, and eleven-time European champion.<br>V\u011bra was also a brave fighter for freedom and human rights. A public opponent of the Soviet communist regime and the invasion of Czechoslovakia in the spring of 1968, V\u011bra was threatened with arrest and forced into hiding. Due to her support for the Prague Spring democratization movement, the regime gradually banned her from traveling abroad and competing, leading to the end of her sports career and subjecting her to persecution.<br>The Czechoslovak Olympic team came up with the idea of honoring V\u011bra \u010c\u00e1slavsk\u00e1 by involving artist David \u010cern\u00fd, known for his bold and provocative works. The \u201cV\u011bra\u201d sculpture performs two simultaneous rotations made possible by three custom-designed slip rings, specifically designed and manufactured by Servotecnica.<br>Today, following the Olympics, the statue has been relocated to Prague. This work not only celebrates a crucial sports figure but also represents the spirit of sport and determination and is a stunning example of collaboration between art and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u201cVera\u201d Artwork by David \u010cern\u00fd\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H-69tyBUz2Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Paris 2024 Olympics celebrated the return of the Games to the French capital after a century, offering an event marked by innovation, sustainability, and sporting [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13455,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
