Matyáš Bělohradský was born on 7 June 2001 in Planá, Czech Republic. He is the younger brother of Czech figure skater Jiří Bělohradský.[1]
Bělohradský began learning to skate in 2007.[1] He competed on the advanced novice level from April 2013 to February 2014.[2] His junior international debut came in September 2014 at the ISU Junior Grand Prix in the Czech Republic. At the time, he was coached by Monika Škorničková in Mariánské Lázně.[3]
In September 2016, Bělohradský won bronze at the 2016 Cup of Mordovia in Saransk, Russia. In December, he finished fourth competing in the senior ranks at the 2017 Four National Championships in Katowice, Poland. He won his first senior national medal, silver, having finished second to his brother, Jiří Bělohradský. Vlasta Kopřivová and Tomáš Verner coached him in Prague.[4]
Making his senior international debut, Bělohradský finished 12th at the 2017 CS Minsk-Arena Ice Star in October. In December, he placed third at the 2018 Four National Championships in Košice (Slovakia), having ranked sixth in the short program and first in the free skate. He repeated as national silver medalist, again finishing second to his brother.
Bělohradský appeared at two Junior Grand Prix events and then placed sixth in the senior ranks at the 2018 CS Tallinn Trophy. In December 2018, he finished first – 25.69 points ahead of second-placed Petr Kotlařík – at the Four National Championships in Budapest, Hungary. It was his first senior national title. He was named in the Czech team to the 2019 European Championships in Minsk, Belarus.
