🎞️ The Throwback
Although the Czech hockey team will leave the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games without a medal, their historic triumph at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano can be remembered in the 2018 documentary The Nagano Tapes. Directed by Ondřej Hudeček, the film recounts how the Czech Republic captured its first Olympic gold in ice hockey.
Featuring interviews with key players including Jaromír Jágr and Dominik Hašek, the film is narrated by Breaking Bad's Giancarlo Esposito, who is set to appear in Prague next month for Comic-Con. Part of the Olympic Channel’s Five Rings series, The Nagano Tapes is available to watch online for free through the official Olympics website.
