Karolína Erbanová (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkaroliːna ˈɛrbanovaː]; born 27 October 1992)[1] is a Czech ice hockey player and retired long-track speed skater. She won a bronze medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics in the 500 m event in speed skating.[2]

Erbanová was a member of the Czech national ice hockey team that won bronze at the 2022 IIHF Women's World Championship.[3] Her ice hockey club career has included seasons in the Swedish Damettan with Almtuna IS and in the Finnish Naisten Liiga (NSML) with HPK Hämeenlinna.[4]

Speed skating career

[edit]

As a child, Erbanová enjoyed cross-country skiing and played ice hockey from age 10. She was very fast on skates and, at 13, she was recommended as a prospect to NOVIS Team head coach Petr Novák by her ice hockey coach.[5] The following year, she joined the NOVIS Team.[6] It was initially predicted that she would be a middle-distance skater but she came to specialize in sprints instead.

Despite demonstrating an aptitude for shorter distance tracks, early in her career as a member of the NOVIS team Erbanová was obligated to skate the same events as her team leader, long-track skater Martina Sáblíková. During 2008 to 2012, she competed semi-frequently in 3000 m and occasionally in 5000 m, Sáblíková's best events.

Together with teammates Martina Sáblíková and Andrea Jirků, she won the overall team pursuit of the 2008–09 ISU Speed Skating World Cup. At the 2009 tournament of the World Junior Speed Skating Championships in Zakopane, she competed in the 3000 m allround but was disqualified after forgetting to change lanes. In the following World Junior Championships in Moscow, she fell during the second 500 m race and lost the chance to medal.

During the 2012–13 season she won her first individual Senior World Cup in Harbin at the 1000 m.[7]

On 27 August 2018, she announced her retirement from professional speed skating at the age of 25, citing the "manipulative, degrading and aggressive behavior" of Czech national speed-skating coach Petr Novák as the primary motivator.[8]
