Milan Sáblík
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Milan Sáblík (Žďár nad Sázavou, March 14, 1991) is a Czech speedskater and the younger brother of Martina Sáblíková, the 2007 European Champion.
During the 2007 European Speed Skating Championships in Collalbo he impressed by skating the 5,000 m in less than seven minutes (6:59.98) at the age of fifteen. However, his four year older sister Martina beat him by 1.53 seconds when she won the women's 5,000 m.
As of February 2007, Sáblík's personal bests are 38.53 (500 m), 1:56.54 (1,500 m), 6:59.98 (5,000 m) and 14:15.65 (10,000 m). This already makes him, at the age of fifteen, the second best Czech speedskater ever, on the all-time best Adelskalender list, after Miroslav Vtípil. (Pim Berkhout also has a better Adelskalender point-sum than Vtípil and Sáblík, but his 10,000 m time dates from the part of his career when he represented the Netherlands rather than the Czech Republic.)
