Javier Fernandez confirms figure skating retirement plan
Javier Fernandez, Spain’s lone Olympic figure skating medalist, will compete for the last time at the European Championships in January, according to Spanish news agency EFE.
Fernandez, 27, previously said that his third Olympic in PyeongChang would be his last. He skipped the fall Grand Prix Series to focus on Europeans, which he has won the last six years.
The Madrid native earned Olympic bronze in South Korea, adding to his 2015 and 2016 World titles and becoming Spain’s third Winter Games medalist in the last 45 years.
