Career

She was born in Brno. She started gymnastics aged six and reached the top of the Czech gymnastics despite having a vision impairment in her left eye.^[3]

Šikulová followed the steps of fellow Brno gymnast Jana Komrsková, being nicknamed "Small Jana" to distinct her from Komrsková.^[3]

Although being a top Czech gymnast for years, she did not make it into the olympic squad. Both in 2008 and 2012, she lost the internal Czech competition to Kristýna Pálešová.^{[citation needed]}

In August 2014, Šikulová graduated from the Faculty of Sports Studies of Masaryk University with a Master's degree. She wrote her diploma thesis about the Yurchenko vault.^[4]
