Janda in 2008

Jakub Janda (born April 27, 1978 in Čeladná , Okres Frýdek-Místek ) is a former Czech ski jumper and liberal-conservative politician of the ODS and a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic .

Career

Early years (1996 to 2004)

Janda, who is a sports teacher by profession, made his debut in the ski jumping world cup on March 9, 1996 . In ski flying in Harrachov , with 44th place, he was still far behind the points. But just two competitions later in Lahti he won his first World Cup points with 29th place. For the 1997/98 season he was able to improve his performance and in January reached Innsbruck for the first time a place in the top twenty. But Janda could not consistently show this performance. At the ski flying world championship in 1998 in Oberstdorf , he flew to 28th place. The 21st place in the following Ski Flying World Cup was his last point placement of the season. In the following season 1998/99 he retired in the first jumping after round one. In Lillehammer , however, he was surprisingly able to jump back to the top with 13th place. After further rather mediocre placements in the following World Cup competitions, Janda started at the Nordic World Ski Championships in 1999 in Ramsau am Dachstein . With 48th place on the large hill and 33rd place on the normal hill, however, he fell short of expectations. He was also unsuccessful in the Ski Flying World Cup in Planica.

The 1999/2000 season began Janda successfully with a dot gain in Kuopio . But even in this season he remained without lasting success. In the end it was only enough for a total of eight World Cup points and 70th place in the overall standings. At the ski flying world championship 2000 in Vikersund he flew in 31st place. Also in the summer he tried his luck in the ski jumping Grand Prix for the third time , but was not able to score in any jumping except in Hinterzarten . He started the 2000/01 World Cup season as he ended the previous season. Until February 2001 he won no points in any jumping and was often only in the last place. It was only in Willingen that he managed to make it into the top 30 again in both competitions. At the 2001 Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti , he competed in all four competitions. In the individual competitions it was enough for him to place 17 and 27th. In the team competitions he reached places six and seven together with Jakub Hlava , Michal Doležal and Jaroslav Sakala . At the end of the season he achieved a top 10 position with seventh place in Trondheim, Norway , before finishing the season in 35th place in the overall World Cup standings.

In the summer of 2001 he was able to jump into the points in all ski jumping Grand Prix competitions for the first time in his career. The 2001/02 season began Janda in the Ski Jumping Continental Cup , where he reached seventh and eleven places in Kuusamo. The following World Cup competitions were changeable. Janda was able to win mostly points, but had to retire after the first round in the last World Cups before the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City on the Średnia Krokiew in Zakopane .

At the Olympic Games, Janda could not convince. In the individual disciplines it was only enough to place 39 and 44. In the team competition, Janda’s Czech team also fell well short of expectations with 12th place. At the Ski Flying World Championships 2002 in Harrachov, which took place three weeks later, with 48th place, it was again not enough for a second round and leading positions. After he only started three competitions in the summer of 2002 and only won points in Hinterzarten, he also started the new 2002/03 season cautiously. After the first round in Titisee-Neustadt was over after round one, he jumped to 25th place in the second competition. On January 11, 2003, with third place on his home hill in Liberec, he achieved a podium place in the World Cup for the first time in his seven-year career. However, he could not maintain this level. At the Nordic World Ski Championships 2003 in Val di Fiemme, only the 14th place on the normal hill and the 25th place on the large hill remained. On the same hill in the summer he jumped just past the podium with fourth place.

After a mixed season in 2003/04 , which he finished in 39th place overall, he reached 35th place in the individual and ninth place with the team at the 2004 Ski Flying World Championships in Planica.

International breakthrough in 2004/05

Janda made the international breakthrough in the 2004/05 season . At the jumping in Harrachov 2004 he was in first place after the first round, but was still intercepted by Janne Ahonen and Roar Ljøkelsøy in the second round and that's exactly what happened to him at the two competitions in Engelberg in Switzerland .

In January 2005 he won his first World Cup victory in Titisee-Neustadt . At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf on February 19, 2005, he won silver on the normal hill in the individual competition and also bronze on the large hill.

In the 2005/06 season he won the jumping competitions in Kuusamo , Lillehammer , Harrachov, Engelberg and Garmisch-Partenkirchen . Furthermore, he was able to triumph tied with Janne Ahonen at the Four Hills Tournament , making him the first Czech tour winner since Jiří Raška 35 years earlier. Eventually Janda won the overall world cup in 2005/06. He is the first Czech to win this one.

At the 2006 Winter Olympics , Janda reached places 10 and 13 in the individual disciplines and ninth place with the team. So he could not win a medal at the Olympic Games despite the successes at the 2005 World Championships and the World Cup. In the first individual World Cup after the games in Lahti , however, he was able to jump on the podium again and finished second.

Performance drop and restart

In the summer of 2006 as well as in the 2006/07 season , Janda had to struggle with a huge drop in performance. So he rarely jumped into the top of the world. There were no podiums or victories in the World Cup. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2007 in Sapporo , Japan , he also did not get past an 18th and a 20th place. Janda jumped back to the top of the world for the first time on March 13, 2007 when he narrowly missed the podium with fourth place in Kuopio at the end of the season. After he was unable to start again successfully in the individual competitions over the summer, he began as a permanent member of the ski jumping Continental Cup team from the 2007/08 season. He started in Pragelato with two second places. After further mediocre placements, he achieved two wins in a row in Engelberg at the end of December . Then he came back to the World Cup team just two days later as part of the Four Hills Tournament 2007/08 and immediately won World Cup points in Oberstdorf . He also succeeded in doing this in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bischofshofen . But after he only achieved lower points or even placings afterwards, he started again in the Continental Cup from February.

The Summer Continental Cup 2008 was mixed at first, before it was able to win another jumping in Oberstdorf. He also won points in the two following competitions in the Ski Jumping Grand Prix . Then he got a permanent place in the A-team in the World Cup for the 2008/09 season . In all competitions up to January 2009 he won points, in some cases even with a placement in the top 15. On January 16, 2009 Janda again made it into the top ten in Zakopane . Two weeks later he won both competitions in the Continental Cup on the Hochfirstschanze in Titisee-Neustadt .

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2009 in his home town of Liberec , Janda jumped to 33rd place on the normal hill and 19th place on the large hill. In team jumping he reached fifth place together with Lukáš Hlava , Ondřej Vaculík and Roman Koudelka . In preparation for the upcoming Olympic Games, Janda completed almost all of the competitions in the Summer Continental Cup and Grand Prix as well as all of the World Cup competitions at the beginning of the 2009/10 season . He achieved consistently good results. However, there were no podium places.

At the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver , he reached 14th place in jumping from the normal hill. From the large hill he reached 17th place. In the team competition, the team reached seventh place.

In summer 2010 Janda won both Continental Cup competitions in Courchevel . He was also able to jump onto the podium twice in Lillehammer and Almaty .

Another drop in performance in 2010

The 2010/11 World Cup season began Janda with 10th place in the team competition in Kuusamo . Janda also started successfully in the following individual World Cups and won World Cup points. After a surprising third place in the qualification in Engelberg , he had to admit defeat here for the first time after the first round. As a result, he regularly missed the second round and was only rarely able to jump to the top positions. Janda did not reach the top 10 at all. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo in 2011 , Janda came in 21st and 28th, and with the team in seventh and eighth.

Even in the summer of 2011, Janda did not find its way back to the top of the world. Only in team competitions could she regularly jump near the podium. Even in the World Cup season , the now 33-year-old was not successful and mostly ended up in the middle of the field. At the ski flying world championship in 2012 in Vikersund he reached 21st place and sixth place with the team. After he was unsuccessful at the Summer Grand Prix 2012, he tried his luck again in the Continental Cup and surprisingly jumped onto the podium in Klingenthal .

In the 2012/13 season he jumped in parallel World Cups and in the Continental Cup but did not find his old form in any series. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2013 in Val di Fiemme , the former vice world champion had to be satisfied with lower places in the individual competitions. Even with the team, Janda did not get past tenth place in the mixed competition and seventh place in the team competition on the large hill.

End of career and political career

After the opening event of the season 2017/18 in Wisla ended Janda, who is active in regional policy since 2008, his active career after being in October 2017, the liberal-conservative party Civic Democratic Party in the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic elected has been.

Janda has also been the ski jumping director of the Czech Ski Jumping Association since 2018.
