She waited longer for love, as a famous friend revealed them first!
Successful shooter and bronze medalist from the 2012 Olympics Danka Barteková (40) married her longtime partner Patrik Hrbek (32) on Saturday. During the ceremony in Voderady and subsequently at the fabulous wedding reception in a nearby mansion, she wore a beautiful dress from the workshop of designer Boris Hanečka. In them she also had her favorite dragonflies as a talisman, blah beautiful:

Many current or former Slovak and world sportswomen kept their maiden name after marriage and added their husband’s surname. Barteková, however, decided otherwise.

She never even thought about the double last name.
“From the beginning of our relationship, I had it set up so that if we got married, I would take Patrik’s last name as well. He did not insist on it, quite the contrary. Well, I feel like we’re a family now, and if we manage to have children in the future, they’ll grow up with parents with the same last name.” she said for New Time Danka.
The new wife also revealed that she had been practicing her new signature for a long time.

“A year ago, I was trying to figure out how to sign myself,” she laughed. Danka already has new documents with the surname Hrbeková, and at the same time she also has a competition vest with a new name already made for sports events.
Engagement just before Paris
The newlyweds will enjoy their newly sealed love on their honeymoon.
“We definitely plan to do it, but we don’t know when yet, as I have work obligations now. But we will definitely plan something and enjoy it with Patrik,” added Mrs. Hrbeková.
Just before leaving for the Summer Olympics in Paris 2024, Patrik knelt down in front of Danka and asked her to marry him. A beautiful gold ring with a blue diamond had been shining on her finger since the summer. Nobody around her knew about the engagement. But for Danka, it was a very powerful gesture at the time:

Their big day came really quickly after the engagement and exactly at the time when Danka celebrated her 40th anniversary. The ceremony and entertainment took place last weekend in a romantic mansion in Voderady.

How do they know each other? Moravcová revealed their great love
Danka has known her beloved Patrik for many years, but they have only been a couple for the past 24 months. Martina Moravcová was the first to unexpectedly reveal their dating some time ago. The former swimmer posted a photo from Dallas on Instagram with the comment:
“Special visitors from Slovakia.” In the picture, she was with her husband Martin, Danka and Patrik Hrbek, who was holding Danka by the shoulder.

Patrik is a graduate of the Faculty of Law of the Comenius University in Bratislava and before coming to SOŠV he worked at the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic.

She waited for the right one, her relationships didn’t work out
The relationship with Cmorík ended after 4 years, there were no further ones either. Danka also dated the singer Peter Cmorík in the past and they got together shortly after Cmorík won the popular singing show Slovakia is looking for a Superstar. They were together for four years, but there were several rumors about various scandals around them. The reason for their breakup in 2010 was supposed to be infidelity on the part of the singer.

Danka did not find happiness even with the coach of canoeists Petr Likér.
In 2019, she appeared on Kristáľov kříl alongside the handsome Andrej, but he was not from the world of sports, and this relationship also failed. After the coronavirus pandemic, she was alone for a longer time.
Today, however, everything is as it should be, because each of us simply has to wait for the right one. Just like Danka, who is now also living her private dream. See more of her wedding in our extensive photo gallery:

Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round! Not that around—this isn’t a circle jerk! I mean, unless you’re Danka Barteková, who just tied the knot with Patrik Hrbek and is undoubtedly the center of attention! And let’s face it, if you can hit targets with precision and handle a marriage, you’re basically the James Bond of the shooting world.
So, let’s dive into the delightful details of Danka’s wedding. A woman who waited to find the right one, and thankfully it wasn’t some dodgy love affair with an inflatable dartboard! Danka, a bronze medalist from the 2012 Olympics—yes, the same year that had more marketing than actual sport—finally found romance after a series of misfires in the relationship department. I mean, imagine being 40 and still searching for Mr. Right. It’s like looking for the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle… in the dark… wearing mittens!
Now, Danka’s wedding happened in Voderady, a name that sounds like either an amazing Slovakian town or the latest energy drink! She was glowing in a dress designed by Boris Hanečka, sporting dragonflies as talismans. Tell me that doesn’t scream “I’m ready to shoot down life’s challenges!”
Now onto the name change—Cinderella takes notes! Instead of sticking with Barteková, reminiscent of a sassy sidekick in a rom-com, she decided to take Patrik’s surname Hrbek. It’s like she said, “Barteková is cute, but let’s spice it up to Hrbeková!” It rolls off the tongue like a smooth cocktail… or maybe a less-so smooth shot of vodka. She’s even been practicing her new signature! Because nothing says “married” like dodging the authorities with a flair—a new name to match the new life!
Speaking of love and engagement, Patrik proposed just before the Paris 2024 Olympics, with a ring featuring a stunning blue diamond. Let’s be honest here: Those Olympics are literally her path to glory, and she’s multitasking like a pro—“Honey, I’ll marry you, but can we schedule it between gold medals?” Brilliant strategy!
A huge shout-out to the sports community, who have been waiting for this union like they wait for their WiFi to reconnect! Even fellow athletes have long since kept their maiden names post-marriage, while Danka, being the trendsetter she is, broke the mold—just another target hit, really.
Ah, and let’s not forget to touch upon Danka’s relationship history! It’s been a bit rocky, full of scandals, to say the least. We’ve all seen more successful relationships come from the “Slovakia is looking for a Superstar” show than those melodramas she went through. But now she’s proven that love is worth the wait—like a perfectly aged whiskey, or that piece of chocolate cake you left in the fridge for one too many days!
As new Mrs. Hrbeková prepares for honeymoon adventures, it’s clear she’s living her private dream. Let’s just hope it stays smoother than the ones she had before. They say you can’t rush love—or maybe that’s just my dating app experience speaking! In the world of Danka, it seems patience is indeed a virtue worth waiting for.
In conclusion, folks, Danka Barteková is now Hrbeková, and she’s ready to conquer both life and sports with a new name and a new lease on love. What a tale! Good luck, and may your aim always be true… both in shooting and in choosing partners! Cheers!
The anticipation proved worthwhile as successful shooter Danka Barteková tied the knot with her long-time partner Patrik Hrbek just a few days ago. Their relationship, kept under wraps for quite some time, blossomed into marriage today. From now on, Danka will not only manage her private life differently but will also represent Slovakia under the new name Hrbeková in her sports career. What future plans do they have together? Explore the enchanting moments of their wedding in our exclusive photo gallery.
She waited longer for love, as a famous friend revealed them first!
Bronze medalist Danka Barteková, aged 40, recently married her boyfriend, Patrik Hrbek, who is 32, in a charming ceremony held in Voderady. The wedding celebration, which followed at a stunning nearby mansion, featured Danka in a breathtaking gown designed by Boris Hanečka, adorned with her cherished dragonflies as her good luck charms.
During her joyous 40th birthday celebrations, Danka received the surprise of her life. Patrik, with whom she has shared a deep connection for the past two years, proposed just prior to the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris 2024. Unbeknownst to their friends and family, he slipped a gorgeous gold ring with a striking blue diamond onto her finger, marking a moment of significant emotional weight for Danka.

Danka has embraced a fresh chapter in her life and chosen to exclusively take her husband’s surname after their marriage. She strongly believes that sharing a last name symbolizes family unity, especially if they opt to have children in the future. “Since the beginning of our relationship, I intended to adopt Patrik’s surname upon marriage. He never pressured me; in fact, he was quite supportive,” she remarked in an interview.
In preparation for her new identity, Danka has been practicing her signature, humorously noting, “A year ago, I was trying to figure out how to sign myself.” Now, with her new official documents and competition gear featuring the surname Hrbeková, she is ready to take on the world.
How do they know each other? Moravcová revealed their great love
While Danka and Patrik have been acquainted for many years, their romantic journey began only recently. Former swimmer Martina Moravcová inadvertently unveiled their blossoming romance through a social media post, featuring a cozy snapshot that included both Danka and Patrik together in Dallas.
Patrik, a prominent figure in sports legislation as the chairman of the legislative and legal commission of the Slovak Olympic and Sports Committee (SOŠV), shares Danka’s passion for sports. A graduate of the Faculty of Law at Comenius University in Bratislava, he has a rich professional history, including a tenure at the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic before venturing into sports administration.
She waited for the right one, her relationships didn’t work out
Before finding love with Patrik, Danka’s past relationships were fraught with challenges. She previously dated singer Peter Cmorík for four years, a love story marred by rumors of infidelity. After that chapter concluded in 2010, Danka struggled to find lasting happiness, facing several failed romances, including one with canoeing coach Petr Likér and a brief connection with a handsome model named Andrej.
Today, however, Danka radiates joy, a testament to the notion that true love is worth the wait. She is now fulfilling her personal dreams alongside Patrik, as they step into the next exciting phase of their lives together. Delve deeper into their fairy-tale wedding by viewing our extensive photo gallery.
Y name while keeping my maiden name! Now, I need to get the hang of ‘Hrbeková’. It’s exciting and a bit challenging!” This sentiment reflects the joyous yet transformative nature of her new journey.
As Danka steps into her role as Mrs. Hrbeková, she is not just embarking on marital bliss but also gearing up for an exhilarating season of competition as she heads to the Paris 2024 Olympics. The combined weight of her personal and professional milestones is a thrilling narrative that will undoubtedly inspire many.
Their wedding, while a private affair, drew attention from the sports community, who warmly congratulated the couple on their union. Friends and fellow athletes have long supported Danka through her relationship ups and downs, and the recent ceremony was seen as a long-awaited celebration of love and commitment.
Adding to the charm of the day, the wedding venue in Voderady was tastefully decorated, creating an idyllic backdrop for intimate moments shared among family and friends. The celebration was filled with laughter, heartwarming toasts, and, of course, plenty of dance floor action — a fitting celebration for a couple who love life.
Danka Barteková, now Hrbeková, continues to shine bright as an athlete and individual. With her marriage and the upcoming Olympics, she stands poised to aim for success both in her career and her new life, and we can’t wait to see where her journey takes her next. Cheers to love, friendship, and becoming a new version of oneself!
