Dominik Záleský (born 23 August 1995) is a Czech sprinter and bobsledder.[4]

Early life

[edit]

Záleský's dream of participating in the Olympics stems from his childhood, in which he watched Nagano on VHS at his grandfather's place.[3]

Career

[edit]

Following the retirement of Jan Šindelář and Jakub Nosek after the 2022 Winter Olympics, Záleský was announced to be part of the Czech four-man bobsleigh crew alongside Dominik Dvořák, David Bureš, and Jáchym Procházka.[5]

On 9 December 2023, Dvořák and Záleský partnered during the two-man bobsleigh event at the 2023–24 Bobsleigh World Cup.[6] They also teamed up with Michal Dobeš and David Bureš in the four-man category.[7] All of them finished 14th place in both event categories.
