On September 8, 2016, Ambassador Petr Gandalovič welcomed 120 visitors at the Czech Embassy during a Wimbledon themed evening and launched the Mutual Inspirations Festival 2016 – Martina Navrátilová, speaking highly of the Czech-American tennis legend. Martina “is not only an extraordinary athlete but also a pioneer for the LGBT community and healthy living lifestyles,“ the Ambassador noted. The Head of the Public Diplomacy Department, Pavla Veličkinová, then served up an overview of this year’s festival and its numerous events. While chair umpires picked out the best dressed for prizes, the guests enjoyed a unique gallery of photos from Martina’s life. The highlight of the party was the amazing DJ Tom from Prague, lighting up a laser extravaganza and spinning music from the years when Martina Navrátilová dominated the world as number 1.
