Eliška Březinová (born 19 February 1996) is a Czech figure skater. A five-time Czech national champion (2012, 2014–2016, 2018), she has won four senior international medals and competed in the final segment at six ISU Championships.

Personal life

Eliška Březinová was born on 19 February 1996 in Brno, Czech Republic.[1] She is the daughter of Edita and Rudolf Březina, a figure skating coach, and the younger sister of Michal Březina, a competitor in men's singles.[2]

Career

Březinová began skating in 2002.[1] She debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in 2010. In the 2011–2012 season, she became the Czech national senior champion and was sent to the European and World Championships but did not progress past the preliminary round at either event.[3]

In the 2012–2013 season, Březinová dipped to fourth nationally and placed 30th in Zagreb at the 2013 European Championships, missing the cut-off for the free skate. She underwent ankle surgery in May 2013.[4] She was coached by Karel Fajfr, along with her father, until the end of the season,[5] and then by Ivan Rezek and her father beginning in the summer of 2013.[4][6]

In the 2013–2014 season, Březinová won her second national title and reached the free skate at the 2014 European Championships in Budapest, where she finished 15th. She then qualified for the free skate at the 2014 World Championships in Saitama and finished 18th.

Březinová made her Grand Prix debut in the 2014–2015 season, having been assigned to the 2014 Trophée Éric Bompard.[7] She won the Czech Figure Skating Championships for the 3rd time. She finished 15th at the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm.
