Thanks to everyone for sharing your detailed reports, much appreciated. So nice to hear from the fans who are actually
at the competition.
at the competition.
Tureis, Eppen, Evergreen, look what I found at Dmitri Aliev's Thread... Your report of the small medall ceremony in video!
Silverfoxes, I hope you don't mind if I re-post it here.
Like WOW!With this victory Fernández became the first man in 82 years to have won the European Championships 6 consecutive times (2013–18). He has joined an elite group of skaters able to dominate the event for 6 years or more: Karl Schäfer (8 years, 1929–36) in men, Sonja Henie (6 years, 1931–36) and Katarina Witt (6 years, 1983–88) in ladies, Marika Kilius / Hans-Jürgen Bäumler (6 years, 1959–64) and Irina Rodnina (10 years, 1969–78, with two partners: Alexei Ulanov, 1969–72 and Alexander Zaitsev, 1973–78) in pairs.
Well, thank you so much eppen, tureis and evergreen for the reports. I share your mixed feelings and I got emotional while I was reading you. I can't stop feeling emotional, and I think it will stay this way until the olympics start. Then the craziness and histeria will take over me, I guess. So thank you so much for letting us live the experience with you, and I'm super happy that you all feel the same way I do with Javi. He's great and he deserves all our love. Jeeze
Wonderful! A Javi fan meeting will be in order then. Hopefully celebrating Javi's presence at the event too...
Most recent interview by Eurosport, translation will be much appreciated.

Sorry to tell you that it's not really interesting but, it was easy to translate so, here you have it!
I just have a little doubt, I do not know what to think. Do you think he's got a girlfriend? He is so subtle...
Sorry to tell you that it's not really interesting but...
There are 3 more videos which I think are new as well(?)
About getting an Olympic medal
About Brian
About his family's sacrifices
I hope they end up on youtube eventually.
- About his international coaches, he says that with Morozov he learnt how the training was in other countries and how to manage by himself; that made him grow up. With Orser , he finally found stability, he learnt with him almost everything, he is more than a coach, he’s part of his family, a friend. He says that he even learnt from Orser to arrive on time, to work hard without complains and to do his training without anyone telling him to do it. Javi says too that Orser is the best coach in the world.
