Otto Jelinek, a former world-champion figure skater and federal cabinet minister, has died at the age of 86. “He was quite the ambitious guy,” his younger brother Henry said Sunday, a day after Jelinek’s death. “He was also sincerely and strongly a Canadian guy, who did everything he could to help this country.” Jelinek was born in Prague in 1940, and his family fled Czechoslovakia’s communist government, arriving in Canada in 1952.
