Pavel Roman (
ice dancers) in 1962, and the

sports club team were awarded the Sportsperson of the Year was the
Dukla Prague handball team, in 1963.

Josef Mikoláš and cross-country skier

Czechoslovakia national ice hockey team at
1961 World Championships[4] and Jeriová as a member of ski relay at the
1984 Winter Olympics[5]). Men's teams received the prize 20 times, and women's teams won it 3 times. From 1970 to 1977, and in 1979, the team prize was not awarded. The team award was won back to back twice, by the men's national ice hockey team in 1968 and 1969, and by the men's national ski-relay team in 1988 and 1989.[3]
