Byl to mimořádně těsný dojezd. Portugalec Fernando Pimenta mohl slavit, v cíli byl viditelně první. Ale Dostála se Švédem Martinem Nathellem a Maďarem Balintem Kopaszem dělila špička lodi. Ani diváci před velkoplošnou obrazovkou nevěděli, jestli se mají radovat.
Olympijský šampion z Paříže ale díky perifernímu pohledu v cíli tušil… „Věděl jsem to, ale byla ve mně malá naděje, že jsem třeba dobře kopnul. Ale i tu jednu desetinu jsem v cíli viděl, tak to trochu zamrzelo,“ neskrýval Dostál, než mu partnerka definitivně potvrdila, že závod pro něj byl bramborový.
„Trochu mě to mrzí, i když by bylo divné, kdyby mi to šlo stejně jako loni, když jsem letos mnohem míň makal,“ hlásil s úsměvem Dostál, jenž se po zlaté olympijské sezoně vracel k tréninku pozvolněji.
V Račicích má za sebou teprve třetinu medailových bojů, v sobotu odpoledne ho čeká pětistovka, v neděli maratonská pětikilometrová trať. Pokud se náhodou jeho synovi nebude chtít na svět dříve než má plánovaný termín narození…
„To by na Anežku muselo přijít během pár hodin, abych se odpoledne neukázal. To asi nenastane, ale radši budu mít telefon pořád u sebe,“ ujišťoval Dostál.

Anežka Paloudová, těhotná partnerka Josefa Dostála, během mistrovství Evropy v Račicích.
Jeho partnerka finálový závod sledovala podél trati na kole. „Když jsem jela na start, tak malý kopal. V průběhu závodu si nevybavuju, ale po závodě jsem ho taky cítila,“ hlásila Paloudová s úsměvem. „Fandí i při Světových pohárech, když jsem je sledovala v televizi. Jak jsem nervózní, tak se to přenese asi i na malého a pak fandí kopáním,“ hlásila.
Po závodě svého partnera lehce utěšovala, byť sama finálovou jízdu dost prožívala. „Jsem nervóznější, než kdybych závodila já, tam ve vás nervozita po startu spadne,“ popisovala Paloudová, která vloni rovněž na kajaku startovala na olympijských hrách v Paříži.
A věří, že oba v Račicích zůstanou až do nedělního závěru mistrovství Evropy. „Termín máme až v červenci, ale děti se někdy rozhodnou, že chtějí na svět dřív. A zatím to vypadá, že miminko vydrží i přes celý šampionát,“ usmívala se.
