Vi\u0146\u0161 turpin\u0101ja savu jau iepriek\u0161 uz\u0146emto tendenci, par\u0101d\u012bt lieliskus rezult\u0101tus tie\u0161i starptautiskajos \u010dempion\u0101tos – pirms gada Skuji\u0146\u0161 P\u010c bija 4. viet\u0101, lab\u0101ko desmitniek\u0101 bija ar\u012b 2023. gad\u0101, kad izc\u012bn\u012bja 8. vietu, turkl\u0101t tam pa vidu v\u0113l Par\u012bzes olimpisko sp\u0113\u013cu 5. vieta.<\/p>\n
Lieliska stabilit\u0101te, kas pamaz\u0101m jau k\u013c\u016bst par likumsakar\u012bbu, Skuji\u0146am apliecinot savu vietu rite\u0146brauk\u0161anas elit\u0113. Vi\u0146\u0161 pats gan skaidroja, ka \u0161\u012bs stabilit\u0101tes pamat\u0101 ir ar\u012b paroc\u012bgie apst\u0101k\u013ci: “Tagad jau da\u017eus gadus p\u0113c k\u0101rtas lielaj\u0101s sacens\u012bb\u0101s biju\u0161as trases, kuras es varu saukt par sev paroc\u012bg\u0101m. \u0160\u012bs viendienas sacens\u012bbas tom\u0113r ir \u013coti atkar\u012bgas no trases, kas tagad man biju\u0161as vismaz nedaudz piem\u0113rot\u0101kas.

OS, P\u010c un E\u010c Skuji\u0146am regul\u0101ri priek\u0161\u0101 biju\u0161i vieni un tie pa\u0161i uzv\u0101rdi – rite\u0146brauk\u0161anas superzvaigznes Poga\u010dars, Evenp\u016bls un van der P\u016bls. Tie\u0161i \u0161\u0101ds pirmais trijnieks gan nav bijis ne reizes, un Skuji\u0146\u0161 uzsv\u0113ra, ka robe\u017ea starp pirmo se\u0161inieku un meda\u013c\u0101m bie\u017ei vien ir smalka.<\/p>\n
“Neteik\u0161u, ka t\u0101 starp\u012bba starp mani \u0161aj\u0101s sacens\u012bb\u0101s un pirmo trijnieku b\u016btu bijusi nep\u0101rvarama,” sac\u012bja Skuji\u0146\u0161. “J\u0101, tagad pasaules \u010dempion\u0101t\u0101 pirmais trijnieks bija t\u0101l\u0101k priek\u0161\u0101, bet E\u010c bronza neb\u016bt nebija tik t\u0101lu. T\u0101pat ar\u012b olimpisko sp\u0113\u013cu meda\u013ca bija tuvu, kad fini\u0161\u0113ju kop\u0101 ar vair\u0101kiem citiem. \u0160aj\u0101s sacens\u012bb\u0101s jau vienm\u0113r ir kaut k\u0101das apst\u0101k\u013cu sakrit\u012bbas – j\u0101par\u016bp\u0113jas, ka esi t\u0101m tuvum\u0101, un j\u0101cen\u0161as t\u0101s izmantot.

Run\u0101jot par pareizo dienu un pareizo situ\u0101ciju, sarun\u0101 ielavas Losand\u017eelosa un 2028. gads, un Skuji\u0146\u0161 atzina, ka jau \u0161obr\u012bd diezgan daudz dom\u0101 par n\u0101kamaj\u0101m olimpiskaj\u0101m sp\u0113l\u0113m: “It k\u0101 v\u0113l ir t\u0101lu, j\u0101, v\u0113l tr\u012bs gadi, bet man\u0101s dom\u0101s OS 2028 jau ir visnota\u013c bie\u017ei. Bet tas ir norm\u0101li, un t\u0101pat bija ar\u012b iepriek\u0161. Kol\u012bdz beidz\u0101s Tokijas sp\u0113les, domas jau bija par to, k\u0101 b\u016bs Par\u012bz\u0113. Bet p\u0113c Par\u012bzes jau s\u0101ku dom\u0101t par Losand\u017eelosu. Nevaru noliegt – zemapzi\u0146\u0101 jau ir ies\u0113du\u0161\u0101s domas par Losand\u017eelosas sp\u0113l\u0113m.

T\u0101 jau princip\u0101 ir, ka tu olimpiskaj\u0101m sp\u0113l\u0113m s\u0101c gatavoties apm\u0113ram gadu pirms to s\u0101kuma.

Svar\u012bga ir vieta UCI N\u0101ciju rang\u0101, kas nosaka, cik daudz kvotas tiek pie\u0161\u0137irtas valstij. Vair\u0101k par diviem sportistiem ir tikai N\u0101ciju ranga “Top 10” valst\u012bm, un skaidrs, ka Latvijai tur iek\u013c\u016bt ir praktiski nere\u0101li. Piem\u0113ram, \u0161obr\u012bd 10. viet\u0101 ir Sp\u0101nija, un diez vai \u012bpa\u0161i j\u0101skaidro, k\u0101da ir Latvijas un Sp\u0101nijas rite\u0146brauk\u0161anas trad\u012bciju un m\u0113rogu at\u0161\u0137ir\u012bba.<\/p>\n
Toties 11.-20. vieta N\u0101ciju rang\u0101 tiek pie div\u0101m kvot\u0101m – \u0161obr\u012bd Latvija UCI rang\u0101 ir 28. viet\u0101. J\u0101atg\u0101dina, ka Tokijas sp\u0113l\u0113s v\u012brie\u0161u grupas braucien\u0101 Latvijai izdev\u0101s tikt pie div\u0101m kvot\u0101m.<\/p>\n

Konkr\u0113ti \u0161obr\u012bd gan Skuji\u0146am iest\u0101jusies starpsezona un da\u017eu ned\u0113\u013cu peln\u012btas br\u012bvdienas.
