Personal life
editEliška 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 former competitor in men's singles.[2]
Career
editBřezinová 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 fifteenth. She then qualified for the free skate at the 2014 World Championships in Saitama and finished eighteenth.
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 third time. She finished fifteenth at the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm.
Competing at the 2021 World Championships, Březinová placed twenty-second.[8] This result qualified a place for the Czech Republic at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[9] In September 2021 she was named to the Czech Olympic team, joining her four-time Olympian brother for the first time.[10] Březinová placed eighth in the short program segment of the Olympic team event, setting a new personal best score and breaking the 60-point mark for the first time.[citation needed] She performed still better in the short program of the women's event, scoring 64.31 to qualify for the free skate in twelfth position.[11] Twenty-first in the free skate, she dropped to twentieth overall.[12]
