He then finished 26th in the individual at the 2002 Ski Flying World Championships in Harrachov . He was a member of the Czech national team from 2003 after having competed in the 2002 World Cup in Falun, Sweden . He took part in the 2003 World Championships in Val di Fiemme when he was eighth on the large hill with the Czech team and in the individual competitions 44th (normal hill) and 48th (large hill), as well as in Oberstdorf in 2005 when he was seventh with the team (normal hill ) and eighth (large hill) and 28th of the normal hill in the individual. At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin , he was 36th on the normal hill.

On January 20, 2007 Mazoch suffered a severe bruised skull while jumping at the World Cup in Zakopane . Because of the unpredictably strong wind he got overblown and fell. The competition was canceled after four more jumpers. Since therefore only the first round was counted, Mazoch achieved his best World Cup result with 15th place.

In September 2007 Mazoch made his comeback in the Ski Jumping Continental Cup , and in February 2008 he competed in a World Cup qualification for the first time in Liberec. He ended his career in August 2008.
