Czechoslovak Figure Skating Championships
The Czechoslovak Figure Skating Championships were an annual figure skating competition organized by the Czechoslovak Figure Skating Union (Czech: Československý Krasobruslařský Svaz) to crown the national champions of Czechoslovakia. Championships were held as early as 1931, though no competitions were held between 1939 and 1945 due to the German occupation of Czechoslovakia during World War II.
Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Karol Divín holds the record for winning the most Czechoslovak Championships titles in men's singles (with eleven), while Hana Mašková holds the record in women's singles (with five), Soňa Balunová and Miloslav Balun hold the record in pair skating (with six), and Eva Romanová and Pavel Roman hold the record in ice dance (with seven).
The peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia occurred on 31 December 1992, leading to the creation of two independent nations: the Czech Republic and Slovakia. However, the 1993 Czechoslovak Figure Skating Championships had already been held in Hradec Králové earlier in December. Therefore, the first figure skating championships of the newly independent Czech Republic and Slovakia did not take place until 1994. Many Czechoslovak medalists went on to compete successfully for the newly independent nations: Kateřina Beránková, Radka Kovaříková, Lenka Kulovaná, René Novotný, Jaroslav Suchý, and Irena Zemanová for the Czech Republic; and Pavol Poráč, Viera Poráčová, Zaneta Štefániková, and Rastislav Vnučko for Slovakia.
Ondrej Nepela, eight-time Czechoslovak national champion, died in 1989 at the age of 38. The Nepela Memorial – originally called the Ondrej Nepela Memorial (Slovak: Memoriál Ondreja Nepelu) – premiered in 1993 in Bratislava, Slovakia. The competition is held annually at the Ondrej Nepela Arena in Bratislava. Ondrej Nepela was named the Slovak athlete of the 20th century in 2000.
Pavel Roman, seven-time Czechoslovak champion in ice dance with his sister Eva Romanová, died in a motorcycle crash in 1972. In 1992, the Olomouc Figure Skating Club debuted the Pavel Roman Memorial (Czech: Memoriál Pavla Romana), an annual ice dance competition, in Olomouc, in what was then Czechoslovakia. After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, the competition has continued in the Czech Republic.
