Martina Navratilova, returning to Czechoslovakia for the first time in 11 years, was mobbed by an international corps of press and photographers after her plane landed in Prague.

The welcome was clouded by an all-day rain and cool temperatures. As a result, Navratilova and her American teammates were unable to practice for the Federation Cup matches, which begin today.
Among those waiting for Navratilova at the airport were her parents, an aunt, an uncle and several cousins. Her father gave her a corsage.
