Koulaři mezi fontánami. Experiment americké hvězdy ale nechal českého rekordmana chladným

Na podzim laboroval s poraněným loktem, nemohl házet, bál se, že v hale ani nebude závodit. Nakonec do zimní sezony svěřenec Petra Stehlíka naskočil a nelitoval, končil ji v nizozemském Apeldoornu s bronzem na krku, svojí už šestou medailí z vrcholné halové akce.

Tradičně pak vyrazil se svou skupinou na soustředění do Jihoafrické republiky. „Když jsme se vrátili, nebylo tu moc dobré počasí, tak jsme se přesunuli do Portugalska, kde také nebylo moc dobré počasí, a po návratu tu pořád není moc dobré počasí, které by přálo atletice,“ s úsměvem glosoval.

Přesto zvládl přípravu bez zdravotních trablů, což je klíčová esence úspěšné sezony. „Práce jsme odvedli dost, cítím se unavený, což je dobře. Mistrovství světa mám až v září, sezona bude dlouhá, ale základní stavební kámen je dost kvalitní. Věřím, že to bude létat daleko,“ doufá.

První start letní sezony už má za sebou, na Hvězdném házení v Domažlicích poslal kouli na 20,17 m, když podle plánu neabsolvoval ani plný počet pokusů. Však měl v živé paměti zranění z loňského ročníku, které se podepsalo na průběhu sezony. „Teď bylo také počasí jak na houpačce. Začal foukat studený vítr, tak jsem nechtěl riskovat, šlo jen o vítězství,“ připomínal.

Ve čtvrtek v Záhřebu na mítinku druhé nejvyšší kategorie už bude k vítězství třeba kvalitnější výkon, však z jedenáctky startujících jich má pět včetně Staňka osobní rekord přes 22 metrů, zbytek přes 21. „Tam o kvalitu nebude nouze, tak věřím, že jim to nedám zadarmo,“ říká 33letý Staněk.

Mítink v Chorvatsku měl tradičně termín na konci sezony, kvůli posunu světového šampionátu na její závěr se přesunul na její úvod. Co ale zůstalo, jsou kulisy náměstí před Národní knihovnou, která nahrazuje stadion. „Hází se mezi fontánami, je to krásný mítink,“ těší se Staněk.

Závody mimo stadion nejsou pro koulaře úplnou vzácností, novinkou je ale formát, s nímž přišel světový rekordman Ryan Crouser. V rámci World Shot Put Series, kterou letos odstartoval, se v zámoří závodí v odlišném formátu, podobném třeba skoku do výšky.

Koulaři mají za cíl překonat hranici v určité vzdálenosti, která se s každým pokusem posouvá dál. Kdo zůstane v soutěži poslední, vyhrává.

Koulař Tomáš Staněk vyhlíží ostrý start nové sezony.

Staňkova reakce? „Vím, o co jde, kluci ze skupiny mi o tom říkali, ale mě to nechalo chladným. Já tam nezávodil, bylo to v noci, kdy jsem spal,“ s úsměvem glosoval.

„Ale videa na Instagramu vypadala zajímavě, atmosféra byla živá. Zažil jsem podobný model při KO systému v Postupimi, kde jsem postoupil do finále s Davidem Storlem,“ vybavuje si.

NFL players in the Olympics: Which stars want to suit up for Team USA in 2028?

It's official: NFL players will be allowed to participate in the flag football event at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.A sport thoroughly dominated by the U.S. will get a chance to showcase its brightest stars on the biggest international stage in sports.
