Jakub Stádník
Triathlete
I am a 22-year-old Ironman on a mission to make my mark at the professional level.
My Journey
From the first steps, through falls and a break, to a newfound passion. Every step was part of the journey.
My dad showed me the sport he used to do. I tried my first races, but the passion wasn't born yet.
A series of falls and unsuccessful races led to a loss of motivation. In 2022, I took a break from triathlon to clear my head.
I met coach Honza Kubeš. He changed my perspective on training, we switched to middle distances, and I found my love for the sport again.
After a year-long break, I stood at the start of my first half Ironman and finished in an incredible 4th place. It was an unforgettable experience.
Joining a new team, which helped me with preparation for the next season and supported me.
The race I had been preparing for and visualizing all winter and spring. I thought I was ready, but the last 10 km of the run surprised me and I hit my absolute bottom.
Races
Key moments of my career. Every race is a story.
