Jiří Raška (Czech pronunciation: [ˈjɪr̝iː ˈraʃka]; February 4, 1941 – January 20, 2012) was a Czech skier. He is regarded as the most famous Czech ski jumper, Olympic winner of the century.

He was born in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm in 1941. His father died of leukaemia when Jiří Raška was nine years old, leaving his mother to raise four children on her own. His interest in winter sports was not surprising. His cousin and uncle, both active jumpers, took him as their disciple. "We were saying that children in Frenštát are born with skis on their feet," Raška said in the interview for Czech newspaper Lidové noviny. Raška was however also active in other sports, like football, cycling and handball.

As a young jumper he got into coach Zdeněk Remsa's legendary group, the “Remsa Boys”. When military service on Šumava threatened Raška’s budding career, Remsa arranged his entrance into the military sports club Dukla Liberec. In 1964 he travelled to the Winter Olympic Games in Innsbruck as a substitute. There he watched Josef Matouš, who led after the first round and had an opportunity to become the second Czech Winter Olympic medalist, but ended up without a medal. Four years later, Raška was in a similar situation.

Pavel Ploc (Czech pronunciation: [ˈpavɛl ˈplots]) (born June 15, 1964) is a former Czech ski jumper who competed from 1982 to 1991 representing Czechoslovakia.

At the Winter Olympics, he earned a silver in the individual normal hill in 1988 and a bronze in the individual large hill in 1984. Ploc also earned two bronze medals in the Team large hill event at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships (1984, 1989). He also won two medals at the FIS Ski Flying World Championships with a silver in 1983 and a bronze in 1985.

Ploc finished his active ski-jumping career in 1992 and in 1996 opened Bed&Breakfast in Harrachov, Czech Republic. From 1996 to 2002 he was an elected member of the Harrachov town council. He unsuccessfully run for a seat in the Czech Parliament in 2002 but won that seat in 2006 and became a member of the lower chamber of the Czech Parliament for the Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD).

Lukáš Hlava (born 10 September 1984 in Harrachov) is a Czech ski jumper who has competed since 2002. At the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, he finished seventh in the team large hill and 38th in the individual normal hill events.

Hlava's best finish at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships was fifth in the team large hill event at Liberec in 2009. His best individual finish was 20th in the individual normal hill event at those same championships.

In Lahti, he finished third and stood on the podium in the World Cup for the first time in his career.
