Inspired by the Team Italy thread I think the skating of my country can have it's own.
The Czech Republic and former Czechoslovakia skating has pretty long and glorious history, though, to be honest, I'm not sure about the glorious future. From the past, we can recall names like Alena Vrzáňová, the Roman siblings, Hana Mašková, Karol Divín, Ondrej Nepela, Jozef Sabovčík (thanks @dorispulaski ) , Petr Barna, René Novotný, Radka Kovaříková or Tomáš Verner, who all won medals and gained recognition on the world field.
From the current active skaters, the most renowned name is no doubt Michal Březina, then we can name his sister Eliška, ice dancers siblings Filip Taschler and Natálie Taschlerová or pair skater Martin Bidař with his current partner Elizaveta Zhuk. Martin's former partner Anna Dušková deserves a honorable mention here as with her they became 2016 world junior champions, the last major title won by czech skaters.
