Ladislav Dluhoš (born October 6, 1965 in Čeladná ) is a former Czech ski jumper .

Career

Dluhoš jumped on January 14, 1984 for the first time as part of the Ski Jumping World Cup . He surprisingly reached 4th place in Harrachov and thus also his first World Cup points. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Engelberg , which took place shortly afterwards , he won the bronze medal in team jumping with Vladimír Podzimek , Jiří Parma and Pavel Ploc . Just a few days later, Dluhoš reached 12th place in jumping from the large hill at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo . After the games he was able to jump back into the top ten in the World Cup in Oberstdorf and Planica . He finished the 1983/84 season in 21st place in the overall World Cup ranking. The 1984/85 season began with poor results at the Four Hills Tournament 1984/85 . At the Ski Flying World Championships 1985 in Planica, however, he was able to achieve a top 10 placement again with 5th place. At the Nordic World Ski Championships 1985 in Seefeld in Tirol , Dluhoš reached 33rd place on the normal hill. In the first World Cup competition after the World Championship, he was able to jump onto the podium for the first time with second place in Sapporo . A week later in Engelberg he was again on the podium - this time in 3rd place.

The 1985/86 World Cup season began with a 4th place in Chamonix . He also achieved this placement at the 1986 World Ski Flying Championships . In Liberec and Sapporo, he jumped back on the podium again shortly after, finishing second and third. At the end of the season he finished 10th in the overall World Cup ranking.

In the following season he started a rather mixed Four Hills Tournament 1986/87 , in which he could only win World Cup points with 11th place in Innsbruck . At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 1987 in Oberstdorf, he jumped 53rd on the normal hill and 29th on the large hill. In the team competition he reached 4th place together with Jiří Parma , Martin Švagerko and Pavel Ploc and just missed the medal ranks with 1.9 points behind the team from Austria . After the world championship he only played the world cup in Falun and jumped to 11th place there. At the end of the season he was only 47th in the overall World Cup ranking with 10 World Cup points.

The 1987/88 World Cup season began with a 15th place in Sapporo. In the subsequent Four Hills Tournament in 1987/88 , however, he again fell short of expectations. He then took a four-week break from training to prepare for the Olympic Games that followed. At the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary , Dluhoš jumped to 14th place on the normal and large hill. In team jumping he reached 4th place with Jiří Malec, Pavel Ploc and Jiří Parma behind Finland, Yugoslavia and Norway. In the remaining season competitions after the Olympic Games, Dluhoš achieved a place within the points in all competitions and ended the season in 24th place in the overall World Cup ranking.

The first jumps in the 1988/89 World Cup season , like at the end of the previous season, he always managed to jump into the points, mostly even among the top ten. It was not until the Four Hills Tournament in 1988/89 that he showed his weakness again at this tournament. After the tour, however, he again achieved World Cup points in all jumping and was third on the podium in Harrachov . This was the highest individual placement of the season. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti in 1989 , he jumped 11th on the normal hill and 6th on the large hill. In team jumping he was third in the team at the Olympic Games in 1988 and won the bronze medal.

From the 1989/90 season he achieved increasingly mixed performances. He achieved his best placement in January 1990 with a second place in Harrachov. After that, however, there were no major successes, and World Cup points or placements among the top ten were rare. At the ski flying world championship in Vikersund in 1990 , he only came in 32nd place. Even at the Nordic World Ski Championships in 1991 in Val di Fiemme , he could not convince with 25th place on the large hill and 26th place on the normal hill. Also in team jumping he could not repeat the bronze medal of 1989 with 5th place. Due to the drop in performance, Dluhoš jumped not only in the World Cup but also in the second-rate Continental Cup , but remained unsuccessful in this series in the following years.

From 1993 he jumped for the Czech Ski Association after its association had disbanded due to the division of Czechoslovakia.

At the 1994 Winter Olympics , Dluhoš was part of the Czech team for ski jumping and reached 30th place on the normal hill. After the games he still competed in all World Cup competitions until the end of the season and ended the season with 165 points in 24th place in the overall World Cup ranking. In the following season 1994/95 he jumped his last World Cup competition on December 11, 1994 in Planica and then started exclusively in the Continental Cup. But since he remained largely unsuccessful there, Dluhoš ended his active ski jumping career at the age of 30 after the 1995/96 season.
