    He retired when he had conquered an elegance, a cleanliness of his lines and posture that was such a delight. There are skaters who are brilliant at 15 years old and there are other skaters with great potential who continue improving with each year, Javi is, for me, the one skater where you could delight on seeing him growing and getting better and better and better. If you look at his entire career, all you see is growth and that takes a lot of sacrifice, commitment and determination. I think Javi had the most inspiring career in figure skating, at least for me. What a joy he's brought to many of us. Thank you Javi!

Yuzuru and Javier have had the greatest friendship and rivalry. I feel so blessed to have witnessed all the greats.

He wraps you right around him as he glides, spins and jumps with great ease and skill. Bravo to this truly a man's mens skater who will go down in history as one of the greats.

      Pero el patinaje de Shoma, si bien fue mas arriesgado, tuvo fallas. Y si los jueces hubiesen marcado los saltos UR fueron muy notorios, la historia seria diferente. El marcar UR se baja el valor base y se le resta con el goe negativo de ejecucion. Como no paso, los saltos mantuvieron su valor base pero con goe negativo. La baja de puntaje es mucho menos. Porque hay que recordar que la diferencia entre Shoma y Javier era MINIMA y el que marcaran o no el UR fue determinante.

I cannot recall anything about their skates other than they seemed to lack something... him however, there was a whole lot of soul in there to go with his skill.

    I feel so amazed every time I watch this program which clearly demonstrates Javier Fernandez' technical and musical quality, and the beauty of his skating.
    I personally prefer this program than the A La Perfection free program in the World Championships 2016 as I see how hard he tries to achieve that performance. I believe that he should have given at least the silver medal at the Pyeongchang Olympic Games 2018.

      I could not agree more. Javi is a man's man when it comes to skating. Like ballet on ice...controlled, fluid, strong, determined, graceful, masculine and lifts the soul to another level. He truly has become my fav! And I have been watching figure skating since Peggy Fleming.

      hizo un doble en lugar de un quad o triple, similar le sucedió en Sochi 2014 repitió por 3ra vez un triple y por Zayak le anularon su combinación perdiendo la medalla de bronce, mala suerte le diremos, ya que tuvo más de 17 puntos de GOE en cambio Shoma a lo mucho fueron 7

    FINALLY! Thank you for uploading this performance; I've been wanting to see it again for ages T-T I usually get upset or happy for the skaters depending on the scores they get while watching a competition, but this was the first time I cried. I still do every time I see it. It steals my heart and overwhelms me with all emotions and feelings at once, so much that I can't help it. The fact that it was the Olympics, Javier's history has a skater, the layout of the program, his connection with the music while performing, his known desire to redeem himself from Sochi, all of these intertwined in this beautiful moment. For me, no words will be able to accurately describe Javier's Man of La Mancha at the Olympics. Well done, Cricket family!!!

    There is just something special about his jumps. It's as though he is hovering, weightless. As though time itself slows down to give him space to work.

    Good to see him win an Olympic Bronze Medal almost a year ago. Since that 4th place finished in Sochi 2014, where he was a medal contender but just missed out of the medal. I know that he can make a comeback and win a medal, after winning two world titles (2015 & 2016), to go along with his six European titles. I predicted that during the Olympic season, he can win a medal, with strong competition in the Olympic season. During both Short and Long Program I was keeping my fingers cross for him to skate strongly, and I found out that his overall standings after the Free Skate that he was in second place, with one skater left to go, knowing that he is going to be the first Spanish Figure Skater to win an Olympic Medal, but for me it doesn't matter if he wins a silver or bronze, obviously I love to see him win a silver medal, however; a medal is a medal.
