Career

[edit]

Baránková made her debut in the Slovak national team in 2017 and subsequently competed at numerous international tournaments such as the 2019 European Games. At the 2021 European Field championship she became first Slovak archer to ever qualify for the World Games.

She represented Slovakia at the 2022 World Games held in Birmingham, United States.[3] She competed in the women's individual recurve event.[3]

Baránková represented Slovakia at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in the Women's individual event. During the ranking round she was seeded 48th and was knocked out in the elimination round by Amélie Cordeau 3–7.[4]

Baránková married her personal trainer, Vladimír Hurban, in October 2025.[5] Six years her senior, Hurban had been her coach at her previous two appearances at the Summer Olympics.[6]

Death

[edit]

Baránková died on 22 June 2026, at the age of 24.[7] She died in Kramáre Hospital in Bratislava, following a pedestrian-vehicle collision[8] at Osuského Street in Petržalka, being hit by a vehicle, which had gone out of control after firefighters had freed it from under a tree that had fallen on it during a windstorm.[9][10] Her funeral was attended by over 300 people.[6]
