Biography

Karel Nedvěd was a sprinter who represented Sparta Praha. Nedvěd represented Bohemia at the 1900 Paris Olympics where he finished in third place in his heat in the 400 metres hurdles. With a bizarre setup, only five men competed in the event, across two heats, with Nedvěd being the only one who did not qualify for the final. He was also scheduled to run in the 400 metres and the 110 metres hurdles but did not start in either race.

Personal Bests: 100 – 11.4 (1900); 200 – 24.8 (1900); 400 – 54.4 (1900); 400H – unknown.
