Juraj Mokráš (born 28 December 1990) is a Slovak bobsledder.[1]

Early life

Prior to his bobsleigh career, Mokráš was a track and field athlete who competed in the triple jump at the 2008 World Junior Championships in Athletics.[2] He was introduced to bobsleigh by his friend who watched 2010 Winter Olympics. Mokráš took the sport as a possible opportunity in a sport in which he could establish himself at the top level.[3]

Career

Mokráš made his bobsleigh debut during the 2010–11 Bobsleigh World Cup at the Utah Olympic Park Track, where he teamed up with Milan Jagnešák in the two-man category. They finished eleventh place in the first round and improved to ninth place.[4]

At the 2011–12 Bobsleigh World Cup, Mokráš formed a partnership with Róbert Chorvát in the two-man bobsleigh category.[5] They later teamed up with Milan Jagnešák and Martin Tešovič in the four-man category, finishing 18th place.[6] However, the quartet dropped to 20th place in the fourth round.[7]

At the 2014 Winter Olympics, Mokráš teamed up with Jagnešák, Petr Narovec, and Lukáš Kožienka in the four-man bobsleigh category. They finished 25th place and did not advance to the final race.[8]
