Bohumil Hanč participated in a 50 km long ski race and Václav Vrbata, his friend, came to cheer on him. During the race Hanč became exhausted and so Vrbata gave him his jacket to keep him warm. Both of these men died on hypothermia and this day is known as the Day of the Mountain Rescue Service of the Czech Republic. More information...
