Už šlo o zdraví, přiznává český judista. Místo stresu a náporu na tělo teď vozí medaile

Article arrow_drop_down

V květnu získal svoji první medaili na turnaji nejvyšší kategorie Grand Slam v Dušanbe. A hned o týden později v Astaně další bronz. V kategorii do 90 kg, kde se teprve rozkoukává.

„Moc se mi váhu měnit nechtělo. Je to velké rozhodnutí a ta změna je náročná. Začínáte od nuly, musíte dokázat, že na to máte,“ popisuje 22letý judista z Mladé Boleslavi, který se do loňské sezony pral převážně ve váze do 81 kg.

Jenže shazování už přestávalo být únosné a probíhalo na úkor jeho judistických kvalit. „Tréninky byly směřované tak, abych shazoval, a ne, abych se rozvíjel. Před turnajem jsem byl oslabený a nemohl podat výkon, jaký bych si představoval,“ vysvětluje. Kolika kilogramů se musel na poslední chvíli zbavovat, radši ani neříká…

„Pro tělo je to velký nápor, pak se nějaké dva tři dny po turnaji zotavujete, nedej Bože, když byl turnaje hned další týden. Ale je to sedm dnů kolem turnaje, těch je ročně kolem deseti, takže sedmdesát dnů v roce se nedalo trénovat naplno,“ vypočítává Kopecký.

„Navíc tam už šlo o zdraví, je to až nebezpečné, takže jsem rád, že jsem tu změnu udělal, bez ohledu na výsledky,“ pochvaluje si. „Cítím se dobře a nejde jen o jídlo, ale i o energii v turnaji, nemusím řešit stres, jestli včas shodím,“ líčí.

Český judista Adam Kopecký.

Jeho kouč Václav Sedmidubský na přechodu do vyšší kategorie vidí také v drtivé většině pozitiva. „Adamova největší síla je dlouhodobě v hlavě. Umí se připravit, nemá respekt ze soupeřů, kteří mají větší jména. Ale v jednaosmdesátce se musel soustředit na shazování a tuhle sílu trochu ztrácel,“ popisuje kouč.

I na tatami se teď Kopecký cítí lépe, o čemž svědčí výsledky. „Devadesátka je trochu pomalejší, což mi sedí víc než kolem soupeřů skákat,“ říká. „Adam není nejrychlejší, ale je silově dobře připravený, takže mu těžší soupeři nevadí,“ doplňuje Sedmidubský.

Oba vědí, že medaile nebudou přicházet na každém turnaji. „Stává se, že soupeři nováčka ve své váze neznají, pak ho načtou a hrozí výkonnostní stagnace,“ upozorňuje kouč. Proto na léto naplánovali přípravu směrem k olympijské kvalifikaci na hry v Los Angeles.

Příští týden ale ještě čeká Kopeckého světový šampionát v Budapešti, kde se bude prát v úterý. I když je mu teprve dvaadvacet, na MS startuje už popáté.

„Mistrovství Evropy se mi letos nepovedlo, to byla velká rána, ale medaile z Grand Slamů mi pomohly. Dokázal jsem si, že se můžu rovnat i s těmi obrovskými jmény z elitní desítky,“ hřeje Kopeckého, jehož v Maďarsku požene za úspěchem i jeho rodina.

PSG vs Atletico Madrid live updates: Lee wraps up 4-0 Club World Cup 2025 win for European champions

Well, what to make of that match? It was certainly more competitive than today's first at the Club World Cup, Bayern Munich's 10-0 thrashing of Auckland City. Paris Saint-Germain looked every bit as impressive as they did in last month's Champions League final win over Inter. However, the 4-0 final does flatter them a bit. Atletico deserved at least one goal today, between their disallowed goal and Alexander Sorloth's absolute sitter he somehow missed. Similarly, PSG's fourth goal was a real gift. The current handball rule is much too harsh on defenders when they're a foot away from the attacker, if you ask me. Still, this was mostly the heavyweight bout that Gianni Infantino would've been dreaming about when he engineered this competition, even if the California heat dampened the players' energy some.

U.S. Open 2025 live updates: Round 4 leaderboard and scores with play suspended due to dangerous weather

The top contenders were already struggling enough — Sam Burns, Adam Scott and Viktor Hovland have all lost two strokes, and J.J. Spaun five — and now the conditions are going to add another element to the equation once play does resume. Who can be a mudder? Even if the rain holds up enough to allow them to get back on the course, it’s probably not done falling. So who can manage their equipment and just stay present enough to focus on the next shot over everything else?If I had to guess, it’s Tyrrell Hatton, who is tied-third at 1-over-par, three shots behind Burns. Hatton is, he’ll admit, almost always miserable anyways. What’s being wet on top of that?
