Lukas Klima

Lukas Klima was born on February 19, 1991, in Prague, Czechoslovakia. His curling career began in his junior years, where he quickly demonstrated his talent as a skip. Klima notably led the Czech junior team at two World Junior Curling Championships in 2011 and 2012. A significant early achievement in his career was earning a bronze medal at the 2011 Winter Universiade, leading his team to a strong performance against international competition. This success during his junior career set the foundation for his professional trajectory in the sport, including participation in the 2012 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship.

Transitioning to men’s curling, Klima joined the Jiří Snítil rink at the third position, competing at the 2014 European Curling Championships. He later took on the role of skip for the Czech national team, leading them in multiple World Men’s and European Curling Championships. His commitment and leadership led his team to represent the Czech Republic in five World Men’s Curling Championships (2015, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) and eight European Curling Championships (2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024).

Under his skip leadership, the Czech team has shown consistent improvement and achieved notable milestones, including tying the all-time highest placement for a Czech team at the World Men’s Curling Championship with a 7th-place finish in 2025. This performance secured a direct berth for the Czech Republic to the 2026 Winter Olympics. Klima’s career reflects sustained dedication to professional curling and a steady progression in competitive results. Outside of curling, he is employed as an attorney in Prague.
