Career

Early years

Mrázková/Mrázek made their competitive debut internationally at the Egna Dance Trophy at the end of the 2020–21 season, finishing in ninth place. The following season saw them make their ISU Junior Grand Prix debut, finishing both at both the first French JGP in Courchevel and the 2022 JGP Slovakia in Košice. Silver medalists at the Ice Challenge in the junior category, and then taking gold at the Pavel Roman Memorial, they were only the silver medalists at the Czech Junior Championships. As a result, they were not assigned to compete at the 2022 World Junior Championships, but went on to win the gold medal at the Egna Trophy in their second appearance there.[1]

2022–23 season

Mrázková/Mrázek opened their season at the 2022 JGP Czech Republic on home soil in Ostrava. In the rhythm dance they set a new junior world record, breaking a three-year-old record set by 2019 World Junior champions Lajoie/Lagha. They went on to win the gold medal, the first ever for a Czech junior dance team. Mrázek observed that "in 2018, I was here in the same Junior Grand Prix as a single skater and I finished, like, fifteenth. Today I'm here with my sister, my partner. We achieved something we didn't believe in four years."[2]

The 2022 JGP Italy, their second assignment, was held at their training base in Egna. Mrázková/Mrázek improved upon their previous junior world record in the rhythm dance by over a point and led the segment going into the free dance. The siblings maintained their lead in the free to take the title by an nearly 15-point margin over silver medalists Lim/Quan of South Korea. Due to their placements across their two JGP assignments, Mrázková/Mrázek qualified to the 2022–23 Junior Grand Prix Final as the top-seeded junior dance team. They are the first Czech team to qualify for the Final since Kadlčáková/Bílek in 2000.[3]
