Slavomír Kňazovický

Slavomír Kňazovický (born May 3, 1969 in Piešťany) is a retired flatwater canoer from Slovakia. He won an Olympic silver medal at the 1996 Olympics in the individual (C1) Canadian canoe 500m final.

In all he competed at three Olympics, always in the C-1 500m, finishing 4th (Barcelona 1992), 2nd (Atlanta 1996) and 5th (Sydney 2000).

An out-and-out sprinter, his preferred distance was in fact the 200m (not included on the Olympic schedule). In 1997 he became European 200m champion in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The following year he won the silver medal at the World Championships in Szeged, Hungary. In 1999 he was a bronze medallist at both the World and European Championships.

Kňazovický is now the coach of the current Slovakian number one Marián Ostrčil.
