Branky, body, vteřiny (Goals, Points, Moments).

First broadcast in 1956, this sports program which follows the evening news is the country’s longest running television program. It features highlights not just of major sports like football and hockey, but also less well-known ones like team handball, bicycle soccer (kolová), football tennis (nohejbal) and a thousand others, especially in cases where Czechs have some international success. For most Czechs, sporting achievements are one of their greatest sources of national pride – indeed, a recent poll put them in first place above even the country’s contributions to world culture.
