Jana Korbasová

Jana Korbasová (born March 20, 1974) is a Slovak former swimmer, who specialized in backstroke and in individual medley events.

[1] She represented Slovakia at the 2000 Summer Olympics, and later became a sixth-place finalist in the 200 m backstroke (2:12.81) at the European Short Course Championships in Valencia, Spain on that same year.

[2][3] Since her retirement came in 2001, Korbasova currently serves as the acting head coach for Howick Pakuranga Swim Club in New Zealand.

She achieved FINA B-standards of 2:20.38 (200 m backstroke) from the Slovakia Grand Prix in Bratislava and 4:55.45 (400 m individual medley) from the European Championships in Helsinki, Finland.

[8][9] Five days later, in the 200 m backstroke, Korbasova edged out Hungary's Annamária Kiss on the final stretch to establish a Slovak record and a sixth-seeded time of 2:19.37 from heat two, but her relentless effort was worthy enough for a twenty-seventh spot on the morning prelims.
