Special congratulations
to Juan Legaz!!!
Laura Fernández
and Juan Legaz, current Junior National champions, were members of
the Spanish team at past European Youth Olympic Days in Bled (Slovenia).
Both are the main promises of our figure skating, and they corroborated
it getting the best results of the Spanish team.
Laura got
14th place after the SP but her marks at the FP, between 3.5-3.8
for technique and 3.6-4.2 for presentation put her 16th , and she
finished in the same place as final result.
Juan, who
is also doing a good season with strong programs and performances, was
the pleasant surprise getting a brilliant 6th place after the SP.
At the FP he was able to maintain his wonderful skating and was 7th,
with marks between 4.2-4.6 and 4.3-4.8.
Juan finished
in a superb 6th place!
This merit
gave to him the honour to be the flag bearer in the closing ceremony.

Figure skating is now on the move in Madrid.
In a just few years it has become the main contributor of young skaters
into the national team.
I come from Madrid, and I’m very glad to see
the increasing number of débutantes, novices and juniors. At this
moment there are five clubs from Madrid region (Igloo, Majadahonda, Leganés,
Legahielo and Boadilla) which usually participate in national and are beginning
to compete at international events along with the clubs from Barcelona,
Vitoria, Jaca and San Sebastián.
This success comes from the great effort and
enthusiasm of the skaters, their families, coaches and the fans that support
this beautiful sport. Still, there’s more to accomplish, specially speaking
of companies support to maintain figure skating in Spain.
