i do so love a skater who wears their heart on their sleeve—when I watch this one, watching him grow visibly stronger and more confident as he goes along, I feel like I am on the ice skating beside him.

For me - Javi's final European men's title! ❤

Man of La Mancha!

 

[iluvtodd]

Graf Skates had a life size cutout of Javi (n his Man of la Mancha costume) @ US Nationals!

 

[Seven Sisters]

Never saw a life sized skater cutout. The closest I can come—a larger than life Gracie Gold emblazoned on the side of the Zamboni that maintains the ice at the new Skating Club of Boston

When we attended 2011 US Nationals in Greensboro, NC, there was a life size cut out of Mirai in the lobby or one of the other public spaces there. My husband took a pic of "Mirai" & me there!

Mirai was coached by Tom Z.

 

[iluvtodd]

Mirai was part of "Ice Desk" @ 2021 Skate America!

Brooke Castile was one of my favorite 'Ice Desk' panelists at a couple of us nationals

 

[iluvtodd]

I remember that. She was expecting a baby @ the time (if we're talking about 2020 Nationals).
