Milena Duchková (born 25 April 1952) is a Czech diver. She competed at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, where she received a gold medal in Platform Diving.[1] She received a silver medal in 1972.

Personal life

[edit]

In late 1980, Duchková applied for permanent Canadian residency, along with her husband Petr Neveklovsky, then 33 years old and 22-month-old daughter Misa. Although her husband could only speak very little English, he was a highly regarded volleyball coach. Outside of diving, Duchková was also registered as a doctor, dentist and an oral surgeon, with hopes to open her own practice in Newfoundland following acceptance of their residency application. The family were concerned about raising their daughter in Czechoslovakia, according to her diving coach Don Webb, who had arranged for her one-year visa in Canada.[2]

Awards

[edit]

She was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1983.

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
