He made his first international appearances in 2005 as part of the junior races of the Biathlon European Cup , where he finished sixth in a sprint in Ridnaun in 2006 and finished in the top ten. A little later he went to Presque Isle at his first Junior World Championships and finished 40th in the individual, 34th in the sprint and 28th in the pursuit race. Shortly afterwards, he also started at the Junior European Championships in Langdorf , where he finished fifth both in the individual and in the relay.

The Junior European Championships of the year were more successful in Nové Město na Moravě , where Jánov was able to improve to seventh place after a 25th place in the sprint in the pursuit and was fifth with the Czech relay. This was followed by participation in the junior competitions on roller skis at the 2008 Summer Biathlon World Championships in Haute-Maurienne , where the Czech came seventh in sprint and pursuit.

During the season 2008/09 the change from the juniors to the seniors took place. He contested his first race in the men's IBU Cup in Langdorf, where he finished 18th in a sprint and thus won his first points in the first race. In Altenberg in 2009 the Czech was able to achieve a single-digit place for the first time as fourth in a sprint race and at the same time his best result so far in this racing series.
