Career
Tichý was initially active in various sports. He made his first international appearance as a beach volleyball player in 2004 at the Junior World Championship in Porto Santo ; there he finished ninth with Petr Nezdaril. In 2005, the duo took part in two Challenger tournaments before Tichý started in 2006 with Pavel Kolar and completed his first tournaments in the Open series. In 2008 he played with Petr Beneš and finished ninth in the Grand Slam in Klagenfurt .
At the end of the year Tichý finally got together with his current partner Jan Dumek at the Mallorca Open and reached the top ten of an open tournament in Manama in ninth place for the first time. In 2009 Dumek / Tichý were in the final of the Czech championship. A year later they qualified for a European championship for the first time; at the tournament in Berlin they just missed the advance in a group of three teams with the same points. The following year they won the national title. They also took part in the Universiade in Shenzhen and came in 13th. At the EM 2012 in Scheveningen they came third in the group in the first main round, in which they were narrowly defeated by the experienced Dutch Numbers / Schuil .
