Spanish figure skater Sonia Lafuente was born on 7 December 1991 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.
Summary
Sonia Lafuente Martínez was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the Canary Islands, in December 1991.
Although she is only 23, Sonia Lafuente has had a very long competitive career. And a successful one at that. For a start, she has won every edition of the Spanish Championships (at various levels that she has entered)… since 2003!!!
Sonia made her international debut back in October 2003 at the Mereno Cup in Italy, when she won the bronze medal in the Novice competition. The following year, she won her first international gold medal in the same competition.
She graduated to Junior level in the 2005–06 season. She made her Junior Grand Prix debut at the Andorra Cup, where she finished 12[SUP]th[/SUP], and also had a second GP in Gdansk, finishing 30[SUP]th[/SUP]. Later on in the season, she also made her debut in the Junior World Championships, finishing 10[SUP]th[/SUP] in Pre-qualifying, and 30[SUP]th[/SUP] overall.
The following year, during the 2005–06 season, Sonia won the silver medal in the Mexican Junior Grand Prix. This was not only her first ISU medal, but it was also the first medal to be won by a Spaniard at an ISU-run event. She also won the Mereno Cup again, but this time as a Junior, as well as winning the European Youth Olympic Festival.
Over the next 2 seasons, Sonia competed in a mixture of Junior events and Senior events. In 2008, she achieved her second ISU medal (a bronze) at the John Curry Memorial Junior GP event. She also made her European Championships debut, finishing 20[SUP]th[/SUP], and her Senior World Championship debut, finishing 30[SUP]th[/SUP]. In between, she achieved her best finish in the Junior World Championships, finishing 12[SUP]th[/SUP].
The 2009–10 season was to mark the completion of Sonia’s transition from Junior to Senior level. The 2 milestones to take from it are her final Junior Grand Prix appearance (13[SUP]th[/SUP] at the Bosporus Cup) and her Olympic debut (22[SUP]nd[/SUP] in Vancouver).
The 2010–11 season also had a few important milestones in Sonia’s career. Firstly, she got 2 Senior Grand Prix allotments. More significantly, though, for her first time at an international competition (the Golden Spin of Zagreb) she got a clean sweep of first positions. She also got a clean sweep, but this time of second positions, when she won her first senior medal at one of the major championships, a silver at the Winter Universiade in Erzurum.
Apart from the 2013 European Championships (when she got her International PB and her best Europeans placement of 7[SUP]th[/SUP] position), Sonia has been gradually slipping down the pecking order since 2010–11. She has only won 2 international medals in the past 4 seasons – a gold at the 2013 Dragon Trophy, and a bronze at the 2014 Andorra Open.
Plus, in December 2014, for the first time since she turned senior, Sonia did not get a clean sweep of first places in the Spanish Championships. Marta Garcia won the Short Programme. In fact, this is only the second time since the incomplete results of 2003 that Sonia has not got a clean sweep of first places in Nationals (Marta won the Free Skate in the 2008 Junior Nationals).
But, now that Marta has made her presence felt, it may actually turn out to be a good thing for Sonia. Let’s face it, Sonia has never had a genuine contender to her throne before. So, she may have got complacent. But, hopefully, having 2 skaters competing for the single Spanish international slot will drive both girls to improve. And, all being well, this could lead to a resurgence in the career of the girl from the Canary Islands.
Things are looking exciting in the world of Spanish Ladies skating.

Summary
Sonia Lafuente Martínez was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the Canary Islands, in December 1991.
Although she is only 23, Sonia Lafuente has had a very long competitive career. And a successful one at that. For a start, she has won every edition of the Spanish Championships (at various levels that she has entered)… since 2003!!!
Sonia made her international debut back in October 2003 at the Mereno Cup in Italy, when she won the bronze medal in the Novice competition. The following year, she won her first international gold medal in the same competition.
She graduated to Junior level in the 2005–06 season. She made her Junior Grand Prix debut at the Andorra Cup, where she finished 12[SUP]th[/SUP], and also had a second GP in Gdansk, finishing 30[SUP]th[/SUP]. Later on in the season, she also made her debut in the Junior World Championships, finishing 10[SUP]th[/SUP] in Pre-qualifying, and 30[SUP]th[/SUP] overall.
The following year, during the 2005–06 season, Sonia won the silver medal in the Mexican Junior Grand Prix. This was not only her first ISU medal, but it was also the first medal to be won by a Spaniard at an ISU-run event. She also won the Mereno Cup again, but this time as a Junior, as well as winning the European Youth Olympic Festival.
Over the next 2 seasons, Sonia competed in a mixture of Junior events and Senior events. In 2008, she achieved her second ISU medal (a bronze) at the John Curry Memorial Junior GP event. She also made her European Championships debut, finishing 20[SUP]th[/SUP], and her Senior World Championship debut, finishing 30[SUP]th[/SUP]. In between, she achieved her best finish in the Junior World Championships, finishing 12[SUP]th[/SUP].
The 2009–10 season was to mark the completion of Sonia’s transition from Junior to Senior level. The 2 milestones to take from it are her final Junior Grand Prix appearance (13[SUP]th[/SUP] at the Bosporus Cup) and her Olympic debut (22[SUP]nd[/SUP] in Vancouver).
The 2010–11 season also had a few important milestones in Sonia’s career. Firstly, she got 2 Senior Grand Prix allotments. More significantly, though, for her first time at an international competition (the Golden Spin of Zagreb) she got a clean sweep of first positions. She also got a clean sweep, but this time of second positions, when she won her first senior medal at one of the major championships, a silver at the Winter Universiade in Erzurum.
Apart from the 2013 European Championships (when she got her International PB and her best Europeans placement of 7[SUP]th[/SUP] position), Sonia has been gradually slipping down the pecking order since 2010–11. She has only won 2 international medals in the past 4 seasons – a gold at the 2013 Dragon Trophy, and a bronze at the 2014 Andorra Open.
Plus, in December 2014, for the first time since she turned senior, Sonia did not get a clean sweep of first places in the Spanish Championships. Marta Garcia won the Short Programme. In fact, this is only the second time since the incomplete results of 2003 that Sonia has not got a clean sweep of first places in Nationals (Marta won the Free Skate in the 2008 Junior Nationals).
But, now that Marta has made her presence felt, it may actually turn out to be a good thing for Sonia. Let’s face it, Sonia has never had a genuine contender to her throne before. So, she may have got complacent. But, hopefully, having 2 skaters competing for the single Spanish international slot will drive both girls to improve. And, all being well, this could lead to a resurgence in the career of the girl from the Canary Islands.
Things are looking exciting in the world of Spanish Ladies skating.
