Prague Skate (Czech: Pražská korčula) was an annual figure skating competition organized by the Czechoslovak Figure Skating Union (Czech: Československý krasobruslařský svaz). The first competition took place in 1963 in Prague, in what was then Czechoslovakia.^[1] After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia,^[2] the competition was relocated to Ostrava and rechristened Czech Skate (Czech: Česká brusle).^[3] It was also dedicated to the memory of Josef Dědič, who had won the 1947 Czechoslovak Figure Skating Championships and served as the last chair of the Czechoslovak Figure Skating Union before its dissolution in 1992.^[4]

Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance, although each discipline may not have necessarily been held every year. Petr Barna of Czechoslovakia holds the record for winning the most Prague Skate titles in men's singles (with five), while Lenka Kulovaná and Hana Mašková, both of Czechslovakia, are tied for winning the most titles in women's singles (with three each). Three teams are tied for winning the most titles in pair skating (with two each): Margot Glockshuber and Wolfgang Danne of West Germany, Radka Kovaříková and René Novotný of the Czech Republic, and Mandy Wötzel and Axel Rauschenbach of East Germany. Four teams are tied for winning the most titles in ice dance (with two each), all from Czechoslovakia: Jitka Babická and Jaromír Holan, Kateřina Mrázková and Martin Šimeček, Liliana Řeháková and Stanislav Drastich, and Eva Romanová and Pavel Roman.

In 1997, the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating – then called the Junior Series – was established by the International Skating Union as a series of international skating competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters.^[5] The Czech Skate has periodically been held as an installment of this series beginning in 1999.^[6]^[7]
