Cortney Mansour (born December 15, 1994) is a Canadian ice dancer. Competing with Michal Češka for the Czech Republic, she has won three international medals and reached the free skate at three ISU Championships.
Cortney Mansour was born on December 15, 1994 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Her aunt skated for the Ice Capades.
Mansour started learning to skate in 1996.
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 Championships in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In March, they competed at the 2012 World Championships in Nice, 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. They were coached by Carol Lane, John Lane, and Juris Razgulajevs in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. 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 Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, after placing 14th in both segments.
