Javier is the clear favourite with the fall from grace of the French and Italians and the Czech rebuilding. Not sure if the Russians can challenge Javier who is more of a complete skater.

What a great article. Thanks! When I read his comments, I hear his cute Spanish accent saying this stuff. 
I think it's funny that Fernandez is 'merely' aiming for the podium at worlds. This is his chance to win and become World Champion!
Perhaps his slightly more relaxed view of competition makes him happier in life, and if that is so, good for him.

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the article. I love Javi's accent, too. ;-)

great article, thanks for sharing, love him as skater but i love his personality more, his ignorance of hatefull people, not caring about them at all, daring them by posting photos with miki 
his attitude towards yuzuru and working harder than him, thats the way to go!! although yuzuru is my favourite i wouldnt mind javi winning the medal, i am sure yuzuru wouldnt mind as well and what happened with some fans and yuzuru during gpf, he confirms what we thought at the first place, attention being a distraction

Well done article! I have a feeling it touched on
things a lot of people had been wondering about--how Javier felt about the pressure in Barcelona, his goals for upcoming competitions, how he met Miki, etc. The article seemed to capture his personality well in just a few paragraphs. The more I hear from him, the more I like him! And let's face it: Javier + "Black Betty" program + that razor stubble he's been sporting = handsome!

I really enjoy Javi's skating and his Black Betty SP is one of the best I've seen in a very long time. I hope he can overcome the nerves and the pressure and take it all at Worlds. I am not a fan of Hanyu, never have been. He has the technical ability but I think the enjoyment of his skating stops there. I really would like to see Javi (and Spain) win Europeans AND Worlds!

It's great that there are two such accomplished skaters that are well rounded and that bring two completely different styles to the ice.
That way there is something for everyone to enjoy.
If Javi can land all 3 of his quads in the LP and not mess up the lutz combination and/or zayak, there is no reason he can't get the World Championship title this year.
Of course, if Hanyu has recovered, even if he is 70%, he's going to fight tooth and nail for the title too. So it's going to be exciting.

Wish Javi all the best and winning his 3rd European title. And may all the Cricket Brothers have a good competition at Worlds...hope we see a joyful podium again
Javi should absolutely get his third European title. He easily beat Voronov and Kovtun at GPF despite his mistakes. Who else can challenge...? Maybe a completely-on Brezina, but that's going to take a miracle to appear. 
I hope Javi fights for that World title, despite what he says.

I expect Javi and Sergei to hold on to gold and silver...Kovtun can have bronze, I guess.
I will never understand why anyone thinks it's their right to "complain" about photos of someone else's relationship...I hope Javi and Miki know how to block people on Instagram that just want to harass them.

I like all three of them, Javi, Maxim and Sergei but I will root for Javi, Cricket Brothers for the win 
In Wolrds it would be lovely if Yuzu has the gold and Javi has the silver. I love you Javi but Yuzu is still my eternal love, my beloved ice prince

Will be there and cheer loudly for Javi at Euros. I can't see who could beat him unless he has a complete meltdown which is not likely to happen. Will be cheering for Voronov as well. He has a certain charm and I don't know why but I hope he beats Kovtun.

Thank you, a very good article
And welcome to Golden Skate, tzazu! Post long, post often.
My dream podium would be that Fernandez wins the gold again, Kovtun the silver and Voronov the bronze medal.
