Jiri Borkovec, the young Czech bodybuilder adds to his success story with a first place finish in the 2006 Bohemia Junior National bodybuilding competition -- he finished second in 2005.

Jiri placed second in the 2006 Czech Republic Junior Nationals, and expressed some disappointment with himself but promises to return with an improved performance next year.

Commenting on the Bohemia competition, Jiri said a week beforehand he expected to lose as "I had to get my body hard in one week. It wasn't easy because I graduated only two days before this competition and I was stressed."

He shares the experience: "In the end I got hard and my physique was totally ready to win. It was the first time I arrived to my show in time and I wasn't in stress. But I oiled up outside and didn't know that I could be ready to come on stage. Suddenly I heard that someone called my name. I run to back stage and saw everybody were pumped up and ready to go on stage. I was very angry with myself. I had to enter on stage without pump and not oiled up properly."

He was not optimistic about his chances: "After the semifinal I called bad things about me and I supposed I will be about 3rd or 4th placed. I competed with much more heavier guys. Some of them weighed about 215lbs."

And at the end:  "I beat them by my quality and presentation. I thought in the break between semifinals and finals how could I do all to win. In the end I did everything well. I was fuller and harder. I also had perfect color. I got a big hand with my free posing routine and then I beat all on stage. I won the heaviest category and the overall as well. This is my career highlight."

Jiri said that when he finished second in the Czech Republic Junior Nationals: "This contest should be my top and last contest for the 2006 season. I was really sad when I got 2nd place. I wanted to win this contest and prove everyone that symmetry and aesthetics can beat freaky mass. I almost reached it, but one guy was too big and my symmetry wasn't enough to win.  I will do my best to get some muscles on and be bigger next year."

As for his future Jiri says: "I'd like to move to the U.S. one day and compete there, do some sport modeling, and perhaps start university studies.  "I want to do bodybuilding as well as I can and achieve the best results. Someday I'd also like to own my very own gym and work as a personal trainer in USA of course. As you can see, I am very ambitious and determined to excel in this, my chosen sport of bodybuilding."
