Olympic Competitor nr 6841


Jaroslav Šourek

There were two fencers called Jaroslav Šourek in London. It was revealed that this was also the name under which Jaroslav Tucek competed before the war, and so Mallon lists Sourek as Tucek. In the individual Épée, Mallon lists both Šoureks as Jaroslav Tucek. However, this would mean that Tucek competed twice in the same event. This did happen sometimes, but these two pools were conducted on the same afternoon, so it seems very unlikely that both Soureks were in fact Jaroslav Tucek. in the Individual Sabre, Mallon lists two different first names. I definitely count the two fencers separately and call the second one F. Tucek,
