Roman Broniš (born October 17, 1976 in Bánovce nad Bebravou) is a Slovak professional road cyclist.[1] He represented his nation Slovakia in two editions of the Olympic Games (2000 and 2008), and has currently competed for Dukla Banská Bystrica pro cycling team since his official return in 2012.

Amateur and professional career

Bronis made his official debut as an amateur cyclist at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where he did not finish the men's road race against a vast field of more than a hundred cyclists.[2] Bronis later turned pro in 2004, when he signed a two-year contract with Ed' System ZVVZ. Throughout his sporting career, he competed for three annually contractual cycling teams (Dukla Trenčín, DHL–Author, and Dukla Trenčín–Merida), and also produced numerous triumphs at different stages in both local and global road cycling tournaments, specifically in Coupe des Carpathes (Poland), Tour du Maroc (Morocco), Tour of Libya, and UAE International Emirates Post Tour.

Eight years after competing in his last Olympics, Bronis qualified for his second Slovak squad, as a 33-year-old, in the men's road race at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by receiving one of the team's three berths from the UCI Europe Tour, along with his teammates Matej Jurčo and Ján Valach.[3] Passing through the 161.2-km mark, Bronis could not achieve a best possible result with a severe fatigue under the Beijing's intense heat, as he failed to complete the race for the second straight time in his Olympic career.[4][5]
