Jindra Kramperová

Jindra "Jindřiška" Kramperová (28 September 1940 – 20 October 2024) was a Czech figure skater and pianist. A three-time national champion in ladies' singles, she represented Czechoslovakia at the 1956 Winter Olympics and she was fifth at the European Championships.

Background Kramperová was born on 28 September 1940 in Prague.

Career Figure skating Kramperová's father introduced her to skating when she was six years old. He hoped that a physical activity and fresh air would improve her poor health so he brought her to an outdoor ice rink in Štvanice – Prague's only rink at the time. Karel Glogar saw potential in Kramperová and became her coach. She joined Miroslav Hasenöhrl two years later and would go on to train under several other coaches. During summers, she traveled to Stará Boleslav, which had a small arena with artificial ice, or to Dobšiná Ice Cave in Slovakia.

As a thirteen-year-old, Kramperová played a girl trying to balance her interests in music and figure skating in Na stříbrném zrcadle, a film written by František Kožík and directed by Jaromír Pleskot.
