As the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics approach, figure skating is stealing the spotlight—and Spain’s trailblazer Javier Fernandez is at the heart of the excitement! ❄️🔥
The two-time Olympian, who won Spain’s first-ever world championship title in Shanghai in 2015 and its sole Olympic medal at the 2018 PyeongChang Games, sat down with CGTN to reflect on his legacy. 🏆 "Winning in China was beautiful," Fernandez says, but family support meant even more: "They celebrated harder than I did!" 😂
Now, his impact is undeniable: Five Spanish skaters will debut at the 2026 Games—a historic first! Fernandez, who coaches rising talents, calls it his "proudest achievement." 👏
With Milano-Cortina promising jaw-dropping quads and artistic flair, Fernandez’s story reminds us that sports can transcend borders—even in football-obsessed Spain. ⚽➡️⛸️
