Career


Samková initially competed in freestyle snowboarding but after several injuries she began competing in snowboard cross in the 2008/2009 season. Her trainers are Marek Jelínek and Jakub Flejšar. Her signature in competitions is a moustache drawn on her upper lip.[3]

Samková won the Junior World Championship three times (2010, 2011, 2013) and the Czech national title in 2013.[4] She also won three races of the World Cup series (Blue Mountain and Montafon 2013, Vallnord-Arcalís 2014).[4] After skipping the 2011/2012 season due to knee injury,[5] she was placed 4th in the FIS Snowboard World Cup series in the 2012/2013 season[6] and in December 2013 she won the Winter Universiade.[7]

Samková took part in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, where she won the Czech Republic's first gold medal of the games, in snowboard cross. Samková attracted additional comment because she participated in the quarter-final, semi-final and final races with a moustache drawn on her face, which she said was for luck.[8] In the same year Samková placed second at the Winter X Games in Aspen.[9]

At the FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboarding World Championships 2019, Samková became world champion in Snowboard Cross, defeating Brit Charlotte Bankes in the final.[10] Two years later at the 2021 World Championships, Samková took bronze behind Bankes and Michela Moioli.[11] On 11 December 2021, Samková broke both ankles, when she and Czech compatriot Jan Kubičík took silver in the mixed race during a 2021–22 World Cup event in Montafon, Austria.[12]

Samková has her own show called Eva tropí hlouposti (Eva Fools Around)[13] named in reference to famous Czech comedy film by Martin Frič.
