Olympics
Pazoutova participated in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where she competed for the Czech team in the women's middleweight class (70 kg). She lost her opening match to Spain's Úrsula Martin, who scored a waza-ari and threw her to the tatami with an uchi mata assault throughout the four-minute limit. Pazoutova seized her chance for an Olympic bronze medal, but fell short in another waza-ari kick to Belgian judoka and 1996 Olympic champion Ulla Werbrouck during their repechage match.[5][6]
At the 2004 Summer Olympics, Pazoutova qualified as a lone judoka for her second Czech squad in the women's middleweight class (70 kg), by placing third and receiving a berth from the European Championships in Bucharest, Romania.[3][6] She pinned her Poland's Adriana Dadci with a seoi otoshi during the first match, before falling short in an osotogari throw to Australia's Catherine Arlove in the second round. While Arlove moved forward to the semifinal match, Pazoutova faced off against North Korea's Kim Ryon-mi for another chance to receive the bronze medal, but lost the match by a waza-ari point.[7][8]
