Interview with Javier Fernandez. About soon retirement, Brian Orser and plans for the future.
The season has already begun. This is the fourth Olympic cycle for you, and you are still at the top of world figure skating. How will this season differ from the previous ones?
– This season is different because most likely it will be the last in my sports career. At the moment I’m training in Madrid to prepare for the January European Championships.
You have been working with Brian Orser since 2011. How long did it take to get used to each other?
– It happened pretty quickly. Brian and I get along fine. Together we have gone through everything: offensive defeats and greatly celebrated victories.
How nice is Orser?
– Exceptionally nive. I’d say that he’s special. This applies to both his human and professional qualities.
Do you remember your first big victiry with Brian? What did he tell you?
– Perhaps it was after winning the 2013 European Championships. What did he say to me? Well, in general, the same as always: “Great job, Javi!” What else can you say?
Okay, that was after the first continental title. How did he react to your sixth European title?
– After winning the European Championships in Moscow, he also praised me. Said that my triumph is a proof that perseverance and work always pay off.
How did you overcome the fourth place at the Olympics in Sochi?
– Of course, it hurted terribly. At that moment, Brian helped me. He asked me not to be too focused on the result and convinced me that we have four years ahead. Four years to achieve the goal.
Do you think Orser will be able to help Evgenia Medvedeva to overcome a defeat at the Olympics 2018? Do you think he is a good psychologist?
– Undoubtedly, fonly few can compare with Brian in terms of psychology. He and Tracy Wilson are a great duet, they give each athlete exactly what he needs. Let’s wait a bit, I think, the results won’t be far behind and will appear already during the current season. I think they will succeed.
Despite all the advantages of the Orser-coach, Medvedeva hasn’t won under his guidance yet.
– Listen, they started to work together just a few months ago. For figure skating this is too short period of time. Give them some time. I think everything will change soon.
Orser’s position is known: his athletes don’t have to participate in all competitions throughout the season and certainly don’t have to win them. That’s why you miss the spring world championship in Milan?
– No, I didn’t go to Milan because I was terribly tired after the Olympics. It was very important for me to relax and spend time with my family. Only this way I could prepare for the next season.
What did you do in the offseason?
– In fact, I didn’t rest too long after the Olympics. I spent at home about a month, and then continued to work. Took part in several shows in Canada and Japan.
Are you really not planning to take part in the next Olympics?
– Yes, that is right.
Why?
– I don’t plan to train for another four years. It seems to me that it is time to concentrate on things outside the rink.
You became a European champion for six years in a row. Where do you find the motivation to continue?
– I’m not concentrating too much on the past. As I said, this year will be incredibly important for me: I will have the opportunity to win the seventh European title in a row. At least I hope so.
So the fame of Evgeni Plushenko bugs you. Are you aimimg at his record?
– Of course. Plushenko’s achievement is one of the things that makes me move on. Great motivation.
What do you think about new rules? Will it be easier for skaters or more difficult?
– Recently, I have heard a lot of different opinions on this subject. Probably, compared to last year, it will be a little more difficult. But then everyone will get used.
How much will the new judging system change the race for quad jumps?
– I think the new system will help to appreciate all athletes, including those who are eager to jump quads.
Since you are not hiding plans to end your career, tell us what you are planning to do in the future?
– I live and train in Spain. I’m preparing my own show called RevolutiON on Ice. In addition, I organize my own summer camp for young athletes. Well, in the long-term plans is to open a figure skating academy.
Spain is in great demand among tourists, including Russian ones. Where would advise to go first?
– Oh, there can be no two opinions. To Malaga, of course, or its neighborhood.
And where should we go to feel the most of Spanish culture?
– I think you should go to the south of the country, to Andalusia, for example.
If tomorrow you were offered to go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
– To Japan. I love this country very much.

采访哈维尔费尔南德斯。即将退休，Brian Orser和未来的计划。
这个季节已经开始了。这是你的第四个奥运周期，你仍然处于世界花样滑冰的顶峰。这个季节将如何与以前的不同？
- 这个赛季不同，因为这很可能是我运动生涯中的最后一次。目前我正在马德里接受训练，为1月份的欧洲锦标赛做准备。
您自2011年以来一直与Brian Orser合作。相互习惯需要多长时间？
- 它发生得很快。布莱恩和我相处得很好。我们一起经历了一切：进攻性的失败和极大的胜利。
奥尔森有多好看？
- 非常特别。我会说他很特别。这适用于他的人性和专业素质。
你还记得布莱恩的第一个大叛徒吗？他告诉你什么了？
- 也许是在赢得2013年欧洲锦标赛之后。他对我说了什么？好吧，总的来说，一如既往：“干得好，Javi！”你能说什么呢？
好的，那是在第一个大陆冠军之后。他是如何对你的第六个欧洲冠军做出反应的？
- 在莫斯科赢得欧洲锦标赛后，他也称赞我。说我的胜利证明坚持不懈，工作总能得到回报。
你是如何在索契奥运会上获得第四名的？
- 当然，它伤得很厉害。那一刻，Brian帮助了我。他让我不要太专注于结果，并说服我，我们还有四年的时间。四年来实现目标。
你认为Orser能够帮助Evgenia Medvedeva克服2018年奥运会的失败吗？你认为他是个好心理学家吗？
- 毫无疑问，在心理学方面，很少有人可以与Brian相提并论。他和特雷西威尔逊是一个伟大的二重唱，他们给每个运动员正是他所需要的。让我们等一下，我想，结果将不会落后，并将在本赛季出现。我认为他们会成功。
尽管Orser-coach的所有优势，梅德韦杰娃还没有在他的指导下获胜。
- 听着，他们几个月前就开始合作了。对于花样滑冰来说，这段时间太短了。给他们一些时间。我想一切都会很快改变。
Orser的立场是众所周知的：他的运动员在整个赛季都不必参加所有比赛，当然也不必赢得比赛。这就是你错过米兰春季世界锦标赛的原因？
- 不，我没有去米兰，因为我在奥运会后非常疲惫。对我来说放松和与家人共度时间非常重要。只有这样我才能为下一季做好准备。
你在休赛期做了什么？
- 事实上，奥运会结束后我没有休息太久。我在家呆了大约一个月，然后继续工作。参加过加拿大和日本的多场演出。
你真的不打算参加下届奥运会吗？
- 是的，这是
正确的
。
为什么？
- 我不打算再培训四年。在我看来，是时候专注于溜冰场外的事情了。
你连续六年成为欧洲冠军。你在哪里找到继续的动力？
- 我不太关注过去。正如我所说，今年对我来说非常重要：我将有机会连续赢得第七个欧洲冠军。至少我希望如此。
所以Evgeni Plushenko的名声让你烦恼。你瞄准他的记录吗？
- 当然。普鲁申科的成就是让我继续前进的事情之一。很棒的动力。
您如何看待新规则？对滑冰者来说更容易还是更难？
- 最近，我听到了很多关于这个问题的不同意见。可能与去年相比，情况会更困难一些。但是每个人都会习惯。
新的评判系统将改变四跳的竞争多少？
- 我认为新系统将有助于欣赏所有运动员，包括那些渴望跳跃四肢的运动员。
既然您没有隐瞒结束职业生涯的计划，请告诉我们您将来计划做些什么？
- 我在西班牙生活和训练。我正在准备我自己的名为RevolutiON on Ice的节目。另外，我为年轻运动员组织了自己的夏令营。那么，在长期计划中是开设一个花样滑冰学院。
西班牙的游客需求量很大，包括俄罗斯游客。哪里会建议先走？
- 哦，没有两个意见。当然，到马拉加或其邻居。
我们应该去哪里感受西班牙文化的最大化？
- 我想你应该去国家的南部，例如去安达卢西亚。
如果明天你被邀请去世界任何地方，你会去哪里？
- 到日本。我非常爱这个国家。

休赛季不就知道了。。。。

本赛季欧锦赛确实有猴子称大王的可能性
海盗看着自然忍不住眼馋，欧锦冠军做退役礼物肯定不错

他不是之前就说说只比欧锦吗

https://lenta.ru/articles/2018/11/17/fernandes/

他半个赛季没比，突然上欧锦能行么...我不如奶一口突然回春的布里紫娜

海盗看着还是很帅的

甭管三周四周，他站住就稳冠

他全部三周都可能冠，他是目前唯一可以捍卫欧洲花滑男单尊严的选手，如果紫娜之流夺冠简直太可笑了，倒退三十年

海盗只要保持状态不大跌并且愿意出来比赛 感觉还可以赢好几年欧锦。。

海盗今年世锦赛上台子估计困难了吧，牛豆三

欧洲男单目前这种颓势，海盗参赛的话还真能继续冠

他又不是荒废了大半年训练时间， 商演一直没断过。 有系统的训练个一个月妥妥的。
