This has been an intense week for Javi in Spain! He's also
signed a new contract with Ynsadiet. So I wouldn't be surprised if we see promo shots of him suddenly becoming a healthy life guru
Thanks for the links! I can translate some snippets of them that are interesting. Excuse my rusty English as always!! Add smoothness to it, he's a really charismatic speaker and I don't do him any justice!
Btw, I've definitely seen worse wax figures (specially in that museum, they're nightmare material). Javi's not bad, but what's with the clothes? I know they're supposed to be like the ones he wore at the Pirates of the Caribbean program but...not at all... What a mess!
About joining (as a wax sculpture anyway) the museum collection: "I'm honored, I'm very proud of joining this big family, and over all I have to say... Thank you very much" "Thanks for the help to all sports. Thanks for the help to skating. Let's hope we can see more skaters here in the future!"
About the sculpture: "It's difficult to see it when they start, but now that you can see it finished...it is a very good copy" [of himself]
Someone asks "do you think it resembles you?"
He answers: "Yeah, I think so, I think so. Not only the pose but also the smile and... Yeah, I like it, I really like it. I like it a lot!"
About the season: "I've had ups and downs this season, this 2017. There have been good things and things we need to work at. We're working a lot, having really high-level trainings. I can be proud of that."
About the rest of it: " Even then, we have the European Championship. We'd like to get another title there. That'd be the sixth consecutive title. And we also have the World Championship s after the Olympics, so we have three really important dates. But this is a Olympic Year, so...you could say that that's the most important card to play."
About retirement: "if I can't do it— if I don't do it for myself, if I don't continue for myself, then I'm not going to do it for anyone else. It's a decision to take after this season, taking into account the energy I have left. At the elite level of the sport it isn't easy. And in this sport... In this sport...you need to take into account so many details day after day, and it requires such hard trainings that I need to have a really strong willpower. And I need to really feel the desire to do it. So that's something to decide later. I would have liked... Well, no, not "would have liked" — I would really like to continue for a long time, even another Olympic Season, but we really need to think what we are going to do"
About the Nationals (next week): "We have two spots, only two spots for the Olympics Games, in the Men discipline. There's going to be a dispute for the second spot between two teammates, we need to see who's the best candidate, for this big date. And the only thing I can do I wish them luck, wish them both luck. It's going to be a really important competition for them. Someone is not going to be able to come...and that's really though, but that's how things have been. There are only two spots and let's hope that the one who does come has a great experience and enjoys it with the whole Spanish team"
Btw the Javiyoutuber videos for LaLiga are gold! Let me know if there's any that doesn't have any translations and I'll do my best!
