Forster

Viktória Forster (born in 2002) is a Slovak track and field athlete who competes internationally as a hurdler and a sprinter. She holds the Slovak women's record for 60 metres hurdles, 100 metres hurdles and 100 metres. In early 2023, she achieved two Slovak women's records in 100 meters hurdle run, first at Nyíregyháza and later at Golden Spike Ostrava. Wanting to capitalize on her form, she competed solely in this discipline at the 2023 European Athletics U23 Championships in Espoo. Nonetheless she failed to qualify for the semi-finals after tripping at the eight hurdle. At the 2023 P-T-S athletic meeting in Banská Bystrica she ran 100 meters in 11.26, beating the 11.29 national women's record achieved by Eva Glesková at the 1968 Summer Olympics. At the 2021 Summer World University Games Forster won the 100 meters hurdle race with the time 12.72, making a new Slovak record, beating her own record of 12.82 from Golden Spike Ostrava. She also classified for the 2024 Summer Olympics by clearing the 12.77 threshold. Additionally, she finished second in 100 meters race with the time 11.34. At the 2023 World Athletics Championships Forster struggled in 100 m hurdles, failing to advance to semi-finals with the time 13.47.
