Davidd - anything that is in English and only has 'Czech' and not 'Czechoslovak' on it, is from 1993 (when the country split in two) or later. As for the athletic federation, prior to Velvet Revolution, everything sport-related was under the control of Československý svaz tělesné výchovy a sportu, it didn't have official English translation, because English was the language of the imperialist, bourgeois, dissolute Evil that was running rampant outside of the Holy Soviet Union borders; but it would roughly translate as Czechoslovak Federation of Physical Education and Sport.

The two-tailed lion is Czech symbol (usually, he has crown, but it was removed during communism, because crown = monarchy = dissolute imperialist evil), the shield depicts the Kriváň ("The Crooked One") mountain to represent Slovakia, and the star and the 'golden flame of Revolution' (i.e. the socialist revolution) on Kriváň are there to make clear that everything abovementioned is the sole property of the Soviet Union.
