The goal of this work is to analyse linguistic features used by biathlon sport commentators on two television channels, ČT sport and Eurosport, further to compare them and try to show a realistic view on the lexical aspect of the Czech sport commentary. The author first focuses on the Czech language theory, then the theory of sport journalism and spoken language. She further selects categories of the most used linguistic features in the biathlon commentary and shortly characterises the sport of biathlon. The findings are then applied during the analysis of a specific commentary on both television channels, where the work focuses mainly on the demonstration and examination of earlier stated most frequent linguistic features. Because of the character of the work, which is comparative analysis, the author in the end focuses on comparison of linguistic aspects on both television channels. She also briefly covers the content and the phonetical aspect of the analysed commentary and the overall impression taken.
