Career

Verner started skating at the age of five and moved from his hometown to Prague for further training at the age of twelve. [ [http://web.icenetwork.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080321&content_id=46252&vkey=ice_news Icenetwork Q&A with 2008 European champion Tomas Verner] accessed June 4, 2008] He won his first national title in the 2001-2 season, and later that year represented the Czech Republic at the European Championships, where he finished 14th, and at the World Championships, where he failed to qualify for the free skate. Over the next four years, Verner finished as high as 10th place at Europeans and 13th at Worlds.

In 2007, Verner improved dramatically upon his previous results. At the European Championships in Warsaw, he led after the short program before finishing 2nd behind Brian Joubert, making him the first Czech male to medal at the European Championships since 1992. At the 2007 World Championships in Japan, he placed fourth overall.

In 2008, Verner became the first Czech male to win Europeans since Petr Barna's victory for Czechoslovakia in 1992. He was fourth after the short program at the 2008 World Championships but finished 15th after popping several jumps in his long program.
