Monika Škáchová (born 22 November 1999) is a Slovak slalom canoeist who has competed at the international level since 2014.[1]

Career[]

She won a gold medal in the C1 team event at the 2021 European Championships in Ivrea.

Škáchová was selected for the Slovak team for the C1 event at the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo[2] where she qualified for the final and finished ninth.

She was named Canoe Slalom Athlete of the Year for 2019 by Slovak Canoeing. Prior to that, in 2018 she had shared the award with Soňa Stanovská.[3]
