Marek Veselý posedmé mistrem ČR v letecké akrobacii: „Každý titul je jiný, ale domácího vítězství si vážím nejvíc.“

Nezastavitelný český akrobatický pilot Marek Veselý přidává do své sbírky už sedmý titul mistra České republiky v letecké akrobacii za posledních osm let. V roce 2025 navíc triumfoval v rámci mezinárodní soutěže, kde ovládl nejen národní, ale i mezinárodní kategorii.

V rozhovoru pro JANDASPORT mluví o tom, proč si váží každého titulu, jak zvládá udržovat špičkovou formu i o svých plánech přejít na motorovou akrobacii.

Jaký je to pocit vyhrát už posedmé za posledních 8 let titul mistra ČR?

Pocit je to skvělý. Jsem sportovec, to znamená, že soutěžím s ostatními a chci vyhrávat. Snad nikdo kdo se věnuje nějakému sportu nebo něčemu kde se soutěží nechce být poslední. Vždy dělám vše pro to, aby mé výsledky byly co nejlepší. A pokud se to daří, tak mě to těší a moc si toho vážím, protože vím, že to není samozřejmost.

Který ze všech tvých titulů je pro tebe osobně nejcennější – a proč?

Dobrá otázka. Záleží jestli se bavíme jen o titulech mistra ČR nebo titulech z mistrovství světa. Každý z nich je jedinečný, odlišný od těch ostatních. Na závodech jsem se vždy musel potýkat s jinými sestavami, s odlišnými podmínkami mé připravenosti a dalšími proměnnými.
Určitě nikdy nezapomenu na první titul mistra ČR. Celý život jsem chtěl být pilot a být co nejlepší pilot a pak jsem se najednou stal mistrem ČR. Došlo mi, že mé sny jsou reálné a že to co dělám, nedělám zbytečně.

Letošní titul taky znamená hodně, protože jsem ho získal v rámci mezinárodní soutěže. Bylo to vlastně pomyslné mistrovství Evropy, na kterém se mi podařilo vyhrát jak národní, tak i mezinárodní kategorii.

No a z mistrovství světa je to určitě loňský titul juniorského mistra světa, už jen protože jsem prvním člověkem na světě, který tento titul získal.

Jak bys popsal konkurenci na letošním MČR oproti předchozím ročníkům?

Byla rozhodně větší, početnější. To protože tam byli i piloti jiných zemí. Pro spoustu z nich to bylo asi takové první seznámení s akrobatickými závody, ale byli tak i zkušení piloti, které znám i z mistrovství světa. Takže určitě bylo nutné bojovat. Největší konkurenci představovali moji kolegové akrobati z České republiky. To je nakonec zřejmé o z výsledkových listin kde čeští piloti obsadili všech prvních 5 pozic.

Jak probíhala tvoje příprava na tento šampionát – měl jsi něco jinak než dřív??

Původně jsem letos chtěl kompletně přejít na akrobacii na motorových letadlech. Ale bohužel se to z časových důvodů v kombinaci s přípravou na mé zaměstnání vůbec nepodařilo. Proto jsem původně vůbec nepočítal s účastí na těchto závodech. Finální rozhodnutí padlo prakticky týden před závody, a tak moc prostoru na trénink nebylo. Několikrát jsem si vyzkoušel zaletět povinnou-volnou sestavu, kterou si jako jedinou můžeme natrénovat předem a co se týče zbytku, tak jsem musel jen doufat a věřit, že jsem vše ostatní taky už párkrát letěl. Ve výsledku byly pro mě tyto závody hlavně o zkušenostech a velké dávce soustředění a pozemní přípravy na let. A tato kombinace faktorů, pro mě vlastně byla svým způsobem nová.

Co je podle tebe klíčem k tomu, že jsi tak dlouho schopný držet top výkonnost?

Samozřejmě je to trénink. Toho ovšem letos bylo méně než kdy dřív. Úspěch proto připisuji k jakési setrvačnosti tréninků z minulých let. Dále pak udržování pilotních návyků z jiného typu létání, fyzické přípravě a mentálnímu nastavení hlavy. To hraje obrovskou roli společně i s kapkou štěstí.

Máš za sebou i velké mezinárodní úspěchy – vnímáš domácí titul spíš jako potvrzení formy, nebo pro tebe má zvláštní hodnotu?

Sám se celý život považuji za vlastence, a tak určitě domácí tituly neberu jako samozřejmost, nebo něco méně než tituly ze světa. Určitě mezi nimi vnímám v sobě rozdíly, ale jak už jsem psal, tak největší konkurencí jsou pro mě moji kolegové z Česka. Kvality našich akrobatů, a i dalších letců, se konec konců projevují poslední roky i ve světě odkud Češi vozí medaile a tituly v obrovském množství v porovnání s jinými sporty.

Jaké máš plány a cíle pro další sezóny – míříš spíš na evropské či světové soutěže, nebo obojí?

Plány a cíle jsou už pár let podobné, dostat se k akrobacii na motorových letadlech. Výcvik mám dokončený a je vidina přeškolení se na nový výkonný typ letadla, bez kterého se neobejdu. Snad to vyjde. Pokud by to vyšlo znamenalo by to s mnoha věcmi začít prakticky od nuly. Proto se pak uvidí jak to půjde. Jestli se budu věnovat hned jen motorové akrobacii, nebo ji budu trénovat a soutěžit zatím v akrobacii na kluzácích… možností je celkem dost a proměnných také. Hlavně co se finanční stránky týče.

Co bys vzkázal mladým pilotům, kteří by chtěli jít ve tvých stopách?

Pokud chtějí, tak musí začít! Teď je pro to výborný čas, protože junioři jsou ve sportech velice podporovaní. Pak už to chce jen trénink, trénink a trénink. Je důležité mít v hlavě, že vše nemusí jít hned a chce to čas a trpělivost. Létání je potřeba dělat srdcem a s úsměvem. Správný pilot je ten, který je veselý.

Jak se ti daří kombinovat náročný sport s osobním životem – co tě udržuje v rovnováze?

Musím přiznat, že občas to umí být pěkně náročné. Člověk musí být obklopený správnými lidmi, kteří ho v tom nenechají samotného a neotočí se k němu zády, když řekne, že nemůže dorazit na grilování, protože musí trénovat na závody. Já mám to štěstí, že pár takových lidí kolem sebe mám. V rovnováze mě drží právě letecká akrobacie. Je to něco co mi dává volnost a u čeho je mi prostě dobře. Pokud nemám možnost se tomu věnovat a mám dlouhou pauzu, tak jsem nesvůj, nervózní a někdy možná i protivný k mému okolí. Jakmile pak ale ucítím přetížení projevující se na mém těle, nebo letadlo nakloním o víc než 60 stupňů, tak se svět okamžitě rozjasní.

Jana Lamačová přiváží z Mistrovství světa MMA stříbro: „Beru to jako motivaci do budoucna“

JANDASPORT® — Sun, 03 Aug 2025 13:21:05 +0000

Jana Lamáčová Brings Home Silver from the MMA World Championships. “I See It as Motivation for the Future”

After last year’s golden success at the World Championships in Abu Dhabi, Jana Lamáčová once again stood among the world’s MMA elite. This time, however, she entered a different weight class and faced an opponent who had already claimed the world title twice. The result was a silver medal — a success for many, but for Jana, more of a challenge.

She talks about her journey, demanding preparation, and what lies ahead in this open interview..

Jana, what were your first thoughts after the final match?

Honestly? My mind felt pretty blank. I was mainly thinking about what I could do differently next time and how I can keep progressing.

Was this year’s championship more difficult than last year’s?

Definitely. The preparation was complicated — I dealt with injuries, mental challenges, and weight issues. In the end, we decided I would move up to a higher weight class than last year.

How was this year’s event different?

As I mentioned, the main change was the weight class. Unfortunately, I had only one opponent — but she had already won the world title in this division twice. It was definitely my toughest match so far.

How would you rate your performance?

Right after we arrived in the UAE, we started training twice a day, so there wasn’t much rest. Training went well and I felt good, but during the match, many things didn’t go my way. It just wasn’t clicking. So no, I’m not satisfied.

Editor’s note: Jana's coach is the talented fighter Tim Ha, another athlete represented by JANDASPORT.^®.

What can you say about your opponent?

The Spanish fighter was very experienced. She’s earned medals not only in MMA but also in sambo, grappling, and boxing. We studied her matches and prepared accordingly. But she surprised me with her strength — especially on the ground. It was really difficult just to move. She applied a lot of pressure, and it was hard to get into a better position from the guard.

Did you feel any pressure as last year’s world champion?

Not really. This year, I wasn’t defending the title — I moved to a different weight class. My opponent was the one defending the title. So I didn’t feel much pressure.

What was different in your training compared to last year?

We included more compensatory exercises. During sparring, we had to be more careful because of some health issues, but overall, we trained hard.

What helped you stay mentally strong throughout the tournament?

Definitely my coaches. They were with me the entire time. When you have people like that around you, you tell yourself you have to push through — even for them.

How was the atmosphere in your team?

Great. The atmosphere was more than good, and because of that, I always enjoy every championship.

What does the silver medal mean to you?

Honestly? Nothing particularly positive. Some people might see it as a success, but I don’t. I see it as motivation for the future. I know I can do better.

What’s your next goal?

The next target is the European Championships, which will be held in the junior category this time. That means different rules and 3-minute rounds. I’m really looking forward to it!

Do you want to say something to your fans?

Just a big thank you. Without that kind of support, I wouldn’t be able to compete. Since I don’t have many opponents in the Czech Republic, international competition is really important for me. Thank you all so much!

Marek Veselý brings home gold, two silver, and a bronze medal from the World Aerobatic Championship.

Marek Veselý, a young promising pilot represented by JANDASPORT^® , brings home the most prestigious medal from the World Aerobatic Championship. In addition, Marek also flew his way to two silver and one bronze medal.

We had a short interview with Marek, where he shared some interesting insights from his journey to becoming the Junior World Champion.

What were the biggest challenges you faced during training and at the World Championship?

Since I didn't have much time or resources to train this year, the biggest challenge was definitely to train as efficiently as possible and to try all the difficult elements at least once that I could encounter at the World Championship.

As for the World Championship, the biggest challenges are always related to maintaining focus. Aerobatics is not just about flying and controlling the aircraft. It’s largely about mental strength and the mindset of each of us. Another challenge was one of the competition sequences, which consisted of difficult maneuvers. In the final maneuver, you had to fly straight towards the ground at a low altitude, and I must say I really didn’t like it and didn’t feel comfortable. In the end, I managed to handle it and even got great scores, so for me, the challenge was met.

Which moments from the World Championship will stay with you forever and why?

It will definitely be that one challenging sequence and how excited I was that I managed to do it and survived 🙂 But it's important to say that aerobatics and aviation as a whole are not just about specific flights, but also about the people around, the morale, and I dare say, a certain culture or lifestyle. Thanks to this, there are plenty of experiences and memories to last a lifetime.

What do the gold medals mean to you, and how have they influenced your career in aerobatic flying?

Indescribable. I don't really care if it's a gold medal from a regional competition, a 6th Czech Championship title, or a gold from the World Championship. In aviation, you never know how long you’ll be able to keep flying, whether due to finances, health, or anything else. So I consider every flight and every medal a great gift, and I accept it with gratitude and humility. Of course, if we’re talking about a gold medal from the World Championship, there’s something extra in it because I want to be the best pilot in the world, and these medals are proof that I’m on the right track and have what it takes.

What do you think is key to success in aerobatic flying?

Besides determination, desire, mindset, hard work, and a positive attitude—which applies to all sports—this sport is greatly influenced by finances. If you don’t have the money, you can’t train, and without training, you can’t improve and be the best.

What does your training routine look like?

For maintaining physical fitness, I go running and regularly visit the gym. During flight, a person experiences G-forces from all directions, so it’s essential to have strong core muscles and a healthy heart to cope with these forces.

As for the flying itself, I try to train as much as possible. However, I don't fly more than four training flights a day because it becomes counterproductive.

What goes through your mind when you’re in the air performing aerobatic maneuvers?

There are many thoughts running through my mind, depending on various factors. During some simpler figures, I try to just enjoy it or think about where I am in relation to the audience or judges. During more challenging maneuvers, I monitor my speed and altitude, think about how and when to start managing the G-forces that will or are already affecting me. I often think about how I want to finish the maneuver so I can smoothly transition to the next one.

What gives you the courage to try new and more challenging maneuvers?

Courage? I think it’s because I’m obsessed with it and I want to be the best. In such a case, there's no room for fear. It’s more important to maintain a certain amount of respect and humility so that you don’t push too far and end up in undesirable situations.

Do you have any pre-flight rituals?

I don’t know if you could call it a ritual, but I like to wash or at least wipe down the plane before a flight. The plane flies better this way, and I believe that if we take care of our planes, they will take care of us. Sometimes I sit next to it, lean my back against the fuselage, and have a little chat with it.

What fascinates you the most about aerobatic flying, and what drew you to it?

This question can be answered very simply: it’s freedom and liberty. I am a person for whom these two concepts are very important, and thanks to aviation in general, especially aerobatics, I can enjoy them to the fullest extent. Then there’s speed, precision, and adrenaline.

I was brought to it by my dad (also a pilot) and my lifelong dream of being a fighter pilot. Certainly, the desire to achieve more than others has played a role as well.

What advice would you give to aspiring pilots or people who want to pursue aerobatic flying?

Learn to feel and sense the plane instead of flying by the book and predetermined values. And most importantly, do it with passion and enthusiasm.

Aerobatic Flying

Aerobatic flying has a long tradition in the Czech Republic. Its origins date back to the First Republic era, where it was primarily associated with the art of military pilots. In 1936, aerobatic flying was included in the program of the Berlin Olympic Games, where Czech representative Petr Široký won a silver medal.

Another boom in aerobatic flying occurred in the post-war period when it became an official sports discipline. Half a century after the Frenchman Pégoud and, according to some sources, the Russian Nesterov first performed and recovered from a loop and spin, the first-ever World Championship was held—in 1960 in Bratislava. At that time, Czechoslovak pilot Ladislav Bezák stood on the top step, Jiří Bláha was second, and František Skácelík third.

In 1994, significant rule changes were introduced. Aerobatic aircraft reduced their weight and adopted sleeker shapes. It became more and more common for incomparable machines to compete side by side in a single competition. Therefore, to compare the pilots’ skills rather than just the aircraft designs, aerobatics was divided. This led to the creation of the prestigious and most financially demanding Unlimited category y, with no performance limits, and the lower—and thus cheaper— Advanced, in which only aircraft meeting pre-set limits can compete.

Jana Lamačová brings home the MMA World Champion title in the 65.8 kg category from Abu Dhabi.

Jana Lamačová, a young and promising MMA fighter represented by JANDASPORT^® , has won the most prestigious medal at the MMA World Championship held in Abu Dhabi.

We had a short interview with Jana, where she shared some interesting insights from her journey to becoming a world champion.

What does the title mean to you, and what changes do you expect in your MMA career?

It means that I will definitely keep pushing forward. It’s clear that all the effort we’re putting in with my coaches is paying off, and we want to continue in the same way. What will change—well, we’ll see. Unfortunately, I don’t have many opponents in my category in the Czech Republic, so we’ll try to find some abroad so that I can keep training and actively competing in MMA.

What was your toughest match on your way to the title?

Nějtěžší zápas byl v semifinále proti mexičance. Soupeřka byla zkušená a silná, zároveň měla teprve jeden zápas za sebou, zatímco já už nastupovala do třetího zápasu v daném dni. Už při rozcvičce na mě byla vidět únava. Nakonec se ale podařilo mexičanku udolat a postoupit do finále.

What favorite techniques did you master during training, and did you use them in the title match?

V tréninku jsme se moc nových technik neučili, pracovali jsme hodně na wrestlingu, který jsem využívala dost. U submisí ale jinak používám vždy to, co umím nejlépe, například armbar.

Co je armbar

One of the main aspects of the project is a nationwide competition, where young athletes have the opportunity to challenge professionals.

What helps you deal with nervousness before a fight?

The more I fight, the less nervous I get, and recently, I hardly feel any nervousness at all. The best thing is probably to focus on yourself and the fight, and not worry about things around you.

How much of an impact did your coach have on winning the title, and how important is support from those around you?

He had a huge impact; he couldn’t have prepared me better, and who knows how it would have turned out if he hadn’t dedicated so much time to me. Support is important to me mainly from my closest circle (family and coaches). Even if no one believed in me, I would still go and fight because I know what I am capable of, and I don't care if others don't believe in it.

What is your advice for managing fatigue during training or a fight?

During a fight, the best way to handle fatigue is to calm your breathing, avoid wasting energy unnecessarily, and just push through it. Once you're in there, nothing else can help you at that moment. Otherwise, the most effective way to fight fatigue is quality sleep and a good diet.

How did you celebrate your title?

We celebrated with a dinner in the style of Indian cuisine. After returning to the Czech Republic, we organized a club barbecue.

What are your future plans—what would you like to achieve or who would you like to fight?

In the future, I want to win as many amateur championships as possible (while I still can) and make a name for myself before entering the professional league. I don’t have a dream opponent yet.

What advice would you give to people who want to start with MMA?

Probably nothing other than finding a good club and just starting to train. Waiting won’t help, and the sooner you start, the more grateful you’ll be to your younger self.

What does the title mean to you, and what changes do you expect in your MMA career?

What was your toughest match on your way to the title?

The toughest match was in the semifinals against a Mexican opponent. She was experienced and strong, and she had only one fight behind her, while I was entering my third match of the day. I was already showing signs of fatigue during the warm-up. But in the end, I managed to defeat the Mexican fighter and move on to the finals.

What favorite techniques did you master during training, and did you use them in the title match?

We didn’t learn many new techniques in training; we focused a lot on wrestling, which I used a lot. As for submissions, I usually use what I know best, like the armbar.

What is an armbar?

The technique originates from judo, where it is called juji-gatame. It can be applied in several ways, the most common being ude-hishigi-juji-gatame , also known as the armbar. This technique is a very popular winning move in matches; for example, Ronda Rousey, a bronze medalist in judo at the Beijing Olympics, dominated with it in the UFC. The armbar is also used in some self-defense systems.

When training this technique, it is important to prioritize safety. Even the slightest pull or pain in the elbow can cause injury. Therefore, armbars should never be fully applied. Some individuals with hypermobility in the elbow joint may not feel pain, but injury can still occur. This can lead to strain on muscle attachments or even dislocation of the arm at the elbow joint.
