Cortney Mansour was born on December 15, 1994, in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.[1] She became a Czech citizen in December 2017.[2] Her aunt skated for the Ice Capades.[3]
Mansour started learning to skate in 1996.[1]
In the 2011–12 season, she competed with Daryn Zhunussov for Kazakhstan. After starting the season in the junior ranks, Mansour/Zhunussov decided to move up to the senior level. In January, they placed last at the 2012 Four Continents ChampionshipsinColorado Springs, Colorado. In March, they competed at the 2012 World ChampionshipsinNice, France; their placement in the preliminary round, 20th, was insufficient to qualify for the short dance.
In 2013, Mansour teamed up with Michal Češka to compete for the Czech Republic, following a tryout in Europe.[3] They were coached by Carol Lane, Jon Lane, and Juris RazgulajevsinToronto, Ontario, Canada.[4] Making their international debut, Mansour/Češka placed 12th at a Junior Grand Prix (JGP) event in Gdańsk in September 2013 and tenth the following month at JGP Ostrava in the Czech Republic. The duo finished 13th at the 2014 World Junior ChampionshipsinSofia, Bulgaria, after placing 14th in both segments.
Mansour/Češka advanced to the senior level in the 2014–15 season. Competing in the Challenger Series, they placed ninth at the 2014 CS Nebelhorn Trophy and tenth at the 2014 CS Skate Canada Autumn Classic. Ranked 19th in the short dance and 15th in the free, they finished 17th at the 2015 European ChampionshipsinStockholm, Sweden.
Mansour/Češka placed sixth at two Challenger Series events in the first half of October, the 2015 CS Ondrej Nepela Trophy and 2015 CS Finlandia Trophy. Deciding to change coaches, they joined Igor ShpilbandinNovi, Michigan, at the end of the month.[3] The duo won gold at the Pavel Roman Memorial and then finished 13th at the 2016 European ChampionshipsinBratislava after placing 14th in the short and 13th in the free. Ranked 24th in the short, they did not qualify for the free dance at the 2016 World Championships.
In July 2016, Mansour/Češka received their first Grand Prix assignment, replacing Federica Testa / Lukas Csolley at the 2016 Trophée de France.[5]
