Olga Fikotová Connolly is a former Olympic gold medalist who competed for Czechoslovakia in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, where she won the gold medal in the women's discus throw. Her victory brought her international fame and led to a highly publicized marriage to American hammer thrower Harold Connolly. After moving to the United States, she became a U.S. citizen and represented the U.S. in four more Olympic Games from 1960 to 1972. Known for her athletic longevity and grace, she remained active in sports and public service for decades. Her story is often cited as a symbol of Cold War-era international unity through sport.

*Shipping is high, we know, but the item price has been lowered to account for the high shipping charge. 

*Payment is not required immediately, although preferred. We can hold auction items for several days without payment but if not payed for before the next auction, the item(s) will be cancelled as will any active bids. 

*Additional photographs will not be provided, we get this request a lot when the back side isn’t shown. If the back isn’t shown it’s because there is no damage, it’s completely blank, or it was described in the description.
