After image at this website; the club was founded in 1893 by Josef Rössler-Ořovský. It is thanks to him, that the Czech delegation competed in the Games as a recognised state even before independence was declared in 1918. The CYK originated in the Blesk club.

Slavia Praha Rowing Club

I have recently acquired this stickpin featuring a very nice looking enamel red and white flag. I believe it may be an American nautical flag of some kind but I cannot find anything about it on any website. If you could identify it for me it would be much appreciated.
Brian Brecker, 21 March 2006

It is stickpin of sport club "Slavia Praha Rowing Club" (Veslarský klub Slavia Praha), see the club's website.
Victor Lomantsov, 18 Dec 2006

This club was founded in 1885, so it is 8 years older than the omni-club SK Slavia (combining soccer, icehockey and a lot more), with which it was merged by the Communists. This merger has been partly undone. SK Slavia was founded in the end of the 19th century as a cycling club and distrusted by the Habsburg government as a breeding nest of Czech national feelings. All Slavia clubflags combine (probably not incidently) white and red colors.

Hockey Club Slavia Prague

Hockey club "Slavia" Prague - Emblem at this website - Slavia seems to be a sportsclub with many activities, like Icehockey and Football (soccer).

Vajgar

Club "Vajgar" - That is a sports club in Jindřichův Hradec with (I suppose) many activities, like Icehockey and Rowing. Many websites show this flag, like this one.
