[@lauraguerra6450]

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. Starting from yuna, mao and virtuemoir in 2010 to yuzuru and patrick in 2014 and now javier. Such legends.

After he narrowly missed the podium in Sochi, it was so great that he won a medal four years later at his last Olympic Games. I was happy for him because he aimed for a medal and he reached his goal. Congratulations, Javi!

[@carmenbadea968]

You can easily remove all the jumps from this skate and still remain with a brilliant performance, which is a rare thing today. Javi has that specific emotion and artistry that sets him apart from other skaters. His charm and charisma are mesmerizing and you can also feel his connection with the crowd. He's for sure one of my absolute favourites. Bravo!!

[@niklo6724]

He has that stately bearing, quite regal in fact. Infusing that gentlemanly charm in his moves. Beautifully done, I must say.👏👏🥈

[@tessa6356]

I’ve always seen him as a very gentle and mature skater. Should’ve gotten silver here but hey, he aimed merely for a medal and he got it. I wish him good luck for what’s to come and thank you for the joy that he gave us through skating!!!

[@bone9jdjkaye]

@@АбылсеиытМамадалиев Also late comment Javier fernandez had 2 quads and 2x3A (4 difficult elements). Hanyu had 4xquad and 1x3A (5 difficult elements). Hanyu had one extra difficult element for gold, so why is it hard to conceive Javi getting silver. In fact, Hanyu had a serious combo error on one combo so practically 4 difficult base value elements. If Javi didn't pop, he'd have higher base value than hanyu due to Hanyus + combo.

[@legitlyspelunking]

What I love about Javi is he always seems to be having fun, no matter what element he's doing. Like he's enjoying the feeling of gliding and using edges and doing footwork. Idk that's just the impression I get :)

[@optimalrefundable]

his skating and performance really does highlight a gentle and non toxic masculinity that is so charming. love him, and i'll miss him. (PS - silver was earned here, indeed.)

[@philshuster7463]

Javier Fernandez, True Olympic Silver Medallist

[@KoraimaLynn]

si se hubiera arriesgado a un programa técnico mejor hasta ganaba el oro, ya que fue el favorito de los jueces con 17 pts GOE por encima de los 14 de Yuzuru.

[@luzs.1845]

@@KoraimaLynn Los de los goe si sabia, hasta yo misma lo he dicho y tambien hay que tener en cuenta que si Javi hubiera podido hacer su tercer quad ganaba la plata por amplia mayoria e inclusive podria haberle ganado en el libre a Yuzuru (que quedo 2do en el libre detras de Nathan) y la diferencia hubiese sido minima. 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.

[@KoraimaLynn]

@@luzs.1845 tienes razon, pero el valor base del programa de Javier era de solamente 84 Pts, comparado al valor base del programa de Shoma que fue de 103 pts (una diferencia de casi 20 pts) y solamente 7 pts de GOE aparte que tuvo sus combinaciones y un par de saltos en la 2da. mitad lo cual le valen 10% + a su valor base, que Javier es un gran patinador nadie lo duda pero presentar un programa tecnicamente muy inferior y esperanzarse en la segunda nota, los GOE y que los demás que hacen 4,5 , 6 quads se caigan es pecar de ingenuo, ni suquiera Yuzuru con esa lesión se la jugó a lo seguro, él sabia que debia ser lo más competitivo tecnicamente y que podia soportar su pierna para el oro, ya Orser antes había dicho que Javier solamente queria una medalla, a pesar de que en entrenamiento podia hacer y aterrizar el 4Loop, no lo puso en su programa y se fue a los quads "fáciles" Toe y salchow, Shoma se arriesgó con 4Loop, 4Flip, 4Toe, combinaciones en la 2da mitad y ganó la plata por una mínima diferencia pero lo hizo.

[@lauragarciajuarez3446]

Javier no tenía el programa para ser oro, pero si para ser plata, ese doble en lugar del quad le quitó la plata, pero bueno.

[@KoraimaLynn]

@@lauragarciajuarez3446 se me borró el comentario, pero lo reescribo, en fin puedo casi asegurate que si Nathan hubiera quedado en el puesto 10 luego del SP en lugar del ¿15? ¿16? en el que estuvo, Javi se quedaba nuevamente fuera del podio y sin medalla, Yuzuru, Nathan, Shoma, Boyang, Kolyada, Zhou, todos ellos estaban tras el podio y sus programas eran competitivos, los nervios, la suerte jugó a favor de Javi pero tampoco se puede exigir algo por lo cual no se trabajó, si Javi hubiera colocado el 4loop y hubiera realizado el quad que dobló en la combinación hubiera ganado el oro, pero no lo hizo; sí Javier ganó a Yuzuru y Shoma al inicio de temporada pero a diferencia de Javi los otros complicaron su programa conforme avanzó la temporada, sin olvidar que si bien Shoma no estaba al nivel de componentes de Yuzuru y Javier estos tampoco es que eran bajos como el de Boyang; ya desde la temporada 2016/2017 los componentes de Shoma estaban por encima de 90 pts, Nathan si bien no tenía esos componentes su nota técnica era bastante superior para compensar esa 2da. nota.

[@emiliaw5186]

It always makes me SO SAD when I see empty seats at figure skating events like these. Like!!! l want that seat, I would give a kidney for that seat!! How is everyone not so excited?!?!?! To see Javi's last Olympic skate?!!? Stupid empty seats

[@katereilly9367]

It's the one medalist program I actually remember from the men's competition, like first of all the music was just an excellent choice, I love Man of La Mancha, but like I actually felt drawn into it compared to the gold and silver medalists. 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 didn't know at the time it was his last Olympic skate, but knowing that now makes ending the program with 'Impossible Dream' seem very fitting indeed.

Javier , one of the best skaters in the world...the real silver medalist

[@Yuhon100]

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.

[@lunalisveth3471]

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!!!
