Career
In the individual C-1 500 m he was the silver medallist. At the 1988 Summer Olympics however he came a disappointing eighth in the C-1 500 m and ninth in the C-2 500 m. The 200 m, the shortest race distance, was ideal for Procházka, with his great physical strength and excellent technique more than compensating for a natural loss of stamina.
At the age of forty-two, the evergreen Procházka and the C-4 200 m crew finished in fourth place at the 2006 European Championships held in Račice (where he now lives) in the Czechoslovakian Republic.
He is 175cmm (5"9") tall and weighs 85 kg (187 lbs).
