Czech spear Jakub vadlejch Made less than a year ago a hard decision and stopped cooperation with the ME man Jan Zeleznyn with.
The decision was preceded by the fact that Vadlejch’s tough rivals Neeraj chopra switched to Zelezny’s coaching.
– Jan hasn’t coached me for 10 months. I don’t want to talk about it, Vadlejch announced in Tokyo after the World Cup qualifier.
Vadlejch left Zelezny after the old champion had informed his training group that Chopra was joining a group. According to Zelezny, Chopra and other spearfish could have been able to tighten each other.
Vadlejch is an Olympic silver medalist from Tokyo four years ago. Chopra won gold at the time.
Vadlejch’s new coach is an ex-throwing Miroslav Guzdek49 with a record of 85.74 meters.
– I think we have the perfect synergy. Miroslav was also a good shooter. We have a lot in common and we know each other 20 years ago, Vadlejch said.
Guzdek has been coaching Czech ball pushers. Last November, the Czech Association announced that Guzdek and Vadlejch’s cooperation is in the early stages.
– After 20 years of throwing, I know what I need. We talk to each other and look for the best solution to different situations, Vadlejch said of the collaboration.

Vadlejch will return from the knee injury.
– My health hasn’t been good, but now the knee feels much better. Maybe one percent of pain is still felt, but it’s not serious.
The Vadlejch, who thrown A-Group, beat 84.11 meters in the Tokyo qualifier and was convinced that it would be enough for the finals, even though the qualifying limit was 84.50.
The man praised the Japanese National Stadium. Four years ago, at the Olympics, the vessel crumbled from the throws scandalously.
– Perfect. Really fast and helps us old and heavy throwers, Vadlejch reports.
Last summer, there were huge results in the Paris Olympics spear finals as the bronze came off at 88.54 meters.
Vadlejch predicted that this time more than 85 meters is enough for the medal, as the finale will be competing immediately the next day.
For the first time in Paris, no European man received a spear medal. In advance at the Tokyo World Cup Vadlejch and German Julian Weber are the most potential medalists of Europeans.
In his career, Weber, who has a reputation of eternal Nelonen (Tokyo Olympics 2022 and 2023), talked to German media after the qualifying, but refused to comment to others.
– No, Weber whispered.
