The fact that Spain even has a figure skater who has a decent shot to get on the podium at a WC might have had at least a little something to do with it, don't you think?
without Javi, do we really think Spain would have made a serious effort to get the GPF? Are there many other Spanish top skaters who I'm not aware of? I'd say Javi's international success must play at least some part in all of this. Credit where credit is due.
Okay, so maybe Spanish Federation itself became more interested in organising, yes. But people say as if ISU gave Barcelona GPF because of Javi.... Don't get me wrong, I love Javier, but I just didn't see why people gave him credit for the fact, that GPF was twice in a row in Barcelona. The first, maybe, but second? I think it was because first was so succesful. And everybody says the second time was only thanks to Javi... My post was related to quoted post, not general.The fact that Spain even has a figure skater who has a decent shot to get on the podium at a WC might have had at least a little something to do with it, don't you think?
