Jakub Janda, one of the most successful Czech athletes in ski jumping history, expressed his thoughts on the current state of Czech ski jumping during the ongoing Olympics. He revealed that the infrastructure for ski jumping in the Czech Republic has been neglected, which he believes is a significant reason for the athletes' struggles on the international stage. Janda emphasized that while efforts are being made to improve the situation, progress is slow, impacting the performance of Czech jumpers at competitions like the Olympics.

He lamented the poor condition of ski jumps in his home country, suggesting that this has hampered the success of Czech athletes compared to their neighbors, particularly Poland, which has seen a string of successful performances in ski jumping, including medals at the Olympics. Janda highlighted that the Czech Republic fell behind in the early 2000s while Poland invested in their athletes and infrastructure, leading to their current successes.

Furthermore, Janda also turned his focus to his son, expressing hopes that he would follow in his footsteps as a ski jumper. He reflected on the pride and joy it would bring him to see his son succeed in the sport, hoping for a revitalization of ski jumping in the Czech Republic that could cultivate new talent like his own child. As the Czech ski jumping community works to resolve its issues, the aspiration for future Olympic success remains a poignant and motivating dream for both Janda and the athletes he mentors.
