Career

Matouš made his international debut at the Bohemian Spring Tour in 1961, which he won. At the Four Hills Tournament 1962/63 he jumped in Oberstdorf on the Schattenbergschanze surprisingly to 15th place. After a good 20th place in Innsbruck , he ended up in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bischofshofen in 12th and 18th place. This put him at the end of the tour with 742.3 points on the very good 10th place overall. In 1963 he won the Bohemian Spring Tour for the second time. At the Four Hills Tournament 1963/64 he could not build on these performances. After three weak jumps he only reached 46th place overall.

At the Olympic Winter Games in 1964 , which were also classified as the Nordic World Ski Championships, Matouš from the Toni-Seelos-Olympiaschanze in Seefeld in Tyrol narrowly missed a medal and came in fourth. From the large hill in Innsbruck he finished 22nd. In 1964 he won the Cortina Trophy , an international jumping competition in Cortina d'Ampezzo .

In the Four Hills Tournament 1964/65 he started only in Oberstdorf and reached 12th place. Although he did not take part in any of the other three competitions, Matouš reached 15th place overall. In 1965 he won the first international friendship tournament of the Eastern Bloc countries , also known as the three-hill tournament . In the same year he also won the international jumping in Semmering . He played his most successful tour a year later with the Four Hills Tournament in 1965/66 . After landing in eighth place in Oberstdorf, he was also able to jump to eighth place on the Great Olympic Hill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . In Innsbruck on the Bergiselschanze he finally landed in fourth place and just barely missed his first podium. On the Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze in Bischofshofen , he ended up only on a disappointing 40th place. He missed a better result in the overall standings and ended up only ninth. Despite this good result, he took a two-year tour break after the tour.

At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo in 1966 , he finished 41st in jumping on the large hill. In 1967 he won the Tatra Cup .

At the Four Hills Tournament in 1968/69 Matouš reached his first podium in the tour with third place in Oberstdorf. After finishing 12th in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and 11th in Innsbruck, he finished the tour without starting in Bischofshofen as 47th overall. At Sapporo International, he won jumping on the large hill in 1969. At the Four Hills Tournament 1969/70 he landed again on the Schattenbergschanze in third place. In Garmisch-Partenkirchen, he had the chance of another podium, but just missed it as fourth. However, it was his last career top 10 spot. He finished the tour in 12th place overall. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 1970 in Štrbské Pleso , which took place shortly afterwards , Matouš finished 48th on the normal hill. He finished 13th on the large hill. In the same year he also won the international ski flying week.

After another year break, Matouš started again in the Four Hills Tournament 1971/72 . However, he achieved his best result with 23rd place in Oberstdorf. All further jumps were unsuccessful. In the overall standings, too, he landed 49th, the worst overall ranking of his career. In 1972 he won the Beskidy Cup . In his last Four Hills Tournament in 1973/74 he was able to improve significantly and achieved two top 20 placements, including 11th place in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. In the overall ranking he was in 23rd place with 823.1 points at the end of the tour.

In his career, Matouš won a total of five national titles.
