Jakub Grigar (born 27 April 1997) is a Slovak slalom canoeist who has competed at the international level since 2012.
He specializes in the K1 discipline and occasionally competes in kayak cross.
Grigar competed at two Olympic Games.
Grigar first appeared at major junior events in 2012 (at age 15) and immediately had success, winning bronze in the K1 event at the World Junior Championships in Wausau.
In four World Junior Championships he never finished outside of medals in the individual K1 event, winning 2 golds and 2 bronzes.
He also won the K1 title at the 2013 European Championship and a silver at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, which was raced on flatwater.
Grigar credits two-time Olympic Champion Elena Kaliská with helping him in his early years and showing him that canoe slalom is fun.
Grigar first qualified for the senior national team at the age of 16 in 2013, while still a junior.
He made his debut at a major championship at the 2013 European Championships in Kraków where he finished 21st in K1 and 4th in the K1 team event.
He also made his first appearance at the World Senior Championships later that year.
He also won two silver medals in the K1 team event at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships, earning them in 2015 and 2021.
He won his first senior medal in 2015 in the K1 team event at the World Championships alongside Martin Halčin and Andrej Málek.
His first individual medal came a year later at the World Cup in La Seu d'Urgell, where he finished second only to Vít Přindiš.
He finished 5th in the K1 event at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and won the silver medal in the K1 event at the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
Grigar moved into the U23 category in 2016 as he aged out of the juniors and immediately won gold at the 2016 World Championships in the K1 event.
He was able to defend that title one year later in Bratislava.
He qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, beating his more experienced teammates Halčin and Málek in the internal qualification.
Having finished 4th in the heats and then winning the semifinal run, he was the last man to start in the final.
The Olympic season was followed by three years (2017-2019) where his results had dropped off at the senior level as he was unable to get on the podium in any of the major events (World Championships, World Cups, European Championships).
He won another gold and silver medal in the K1 event at the European U23 Championships in 2019 and 2018 respectively.
He skipped the entire 2020 season along with the whole Slovak national team due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
2021 was a return to form for Grigar.
He claimed his maiden World Cup victory in Markkleeberg in June, en route to a silver medal at the delayed 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
He was also part of the silver medal winning K1 team at the 2021 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with Martin Halčin and Adam Gonšenica.
In the following season he won a bronze medal at the World Cup in Tacen and just missed out on a medal at the 2022 World Championships, where he finished 4th in the K1 event.
2023 did not yield any medals for Grigar, but he did manage to qualify for his third Olympics, beating Martin Halčin by a single point in the internal qualification.
