Before they won their first golden championship medals, Jindřich had already won a silver and bronze with his previous partner Jaroslav Svoboda. Then the brothers together won silver medals at the championship in 1964 in Copenhagen. They won their last championship when Jan was 43 and Jindřich 46 years old.
