8th Czech Lockpicking Championship 2017 – Memorial Evžen Ivanov
After an intense weekend from September 8th to 10th, 2017, we witnessed a new record in opening a cylinder lock! An incredible performance was delivered by Petr Wittner, who managed to open a cylinder lock in just 0.47 seconds! Wow! Huge congratulations on this outstanding achievement! This year’s 8th Czech Lockpicking Championship, held as a tribute to the late Evžen Ivanov – MEMORIAL EVŽEN IVANOV, welcomed 27 competitors from multiple countries including the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, and Austria. The youngest competitor, Nelly Coufalová, only 9 years old, delivered an amazing performance, proving that lockpicking is a skill for all ages!
As every year, the competition featured four main disciplines:
- Padlocks
- Speed Picking (Bleskovka/Blitz)
- Cylinder Locks
- Freestyle
Additionally, the prestigious titles for 2017 Czech Lockpicking Champions were awarded:
🏆 Czech Lockpicking Champion – Filip Tůma
🥈 1st Vice Champion – Roman Hora
🥉 2nd Vice Champion – Luděk Sikyta
We are already looking forward to next year’s championship in autumn 2018 and can’t wait to see what records will be broken next!
