Sokol bag

Sokol celebrated its 160th birthday in 2022. An organisation whose focus was and still is not only sport. Heroic legionaries, soldiers, the first Czechoslovak gold medalists and courageous resistance fighters. All these were, among others, the Falcons. As a tribute to all Sokols, you can wear a T-shirt whose graphics were created by the talented Karolína Pucholtová. What makes Sokol so special? Each of us knows Miroslav Tyrš and knows where the nearest Sokol is. However, few people are aware of the rich history and huge influence of the Sokols on the state. We owe them partly for Czechoslovakia and for the rich cultural and social events. Today the organisation has 160,000 members and 1,100 units. And what is the legacy of the Sokol? It is based on the ideas of its founders, Jindřich Fügner and Miroslav Tyrš, who coined the slogan: "In a healthy body, a healthy spirit."
