At the 1994 World Junior Championships, he advanced to the semi-finals of the 400 m hurdles by finishing third in his heat. He placed sixth in his semi-final, running slower and failing to advance to the finals by 0.45 seconds.[2] Holúbek later competed at the 1998 European Championships, the 1999 Military World Games and the 2000 Summer Olympics without reaching the final.

He finished second in the 400 m hurdles in 1995 (and the same placement in the 4 × 400 metres relay),[3] won the 400 m hurdles competition at the 1997 European Cup,[4] and was then promoted with Slovakia to the First League, where he finished fifth in 1998. Back in the Second League, he finished second in 1999 and won in 2000.[3]
