Personal life

Michal Češka was born 2 September 1992 in Děčín.[1] His father is a former figure skater.[2]

Career

Michal Češka began skating at age four and switched from singles to ice dancing when he was about fifteen.[2] He began competing with Karolína Procházková in 2007. In 2010, they were selected for their first World Junior Championships and finished 26th at the event in The Hague, Netherlands.

Procházková/Češka's luggage containing their skates did not arrive in time at the 2011 Junior Worlds in Gangneung, South Korea, forcing them to withdraw.[3] They placed 21st at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Minsk, Belarus and 23rd at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Milan, Italy. They were coached by Rostislav Sinicyn and Natalia Karamysheva in Prague.[3]

In mid-2013, Češka teamed up with Canadian ice dancer Cortney Mansour. They train in Toronto, coached by Carol Lane, John Lane, and Juris Razgulajevs.[1] Mansour/Češka were sent to the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria and finished 13th.
