Good luck Donovan at ACI! Congrats to Diego:hap10:

US senior men's skater (and fan favorite) Sean Rabbitt taught at a seminar in Mexico City, and loved it. He said about his time there:

"Mexico is booming with skating rinks popping up everywhere and the skaters are loving it. With Donovan Carrillo leading the way, I definitely see Mexico becoming a very strong country in our sport in the future."

I was checking the time of JGP stream for tomorrow and found very interesting fact on their page. There is a list of top 10 of most popular videos from previous competitions and guess who is the most frequently watched skater? Donovan's three performances have the highest number of views overall; moreover, his FS at Yokohama JGP is the most popular video, having over 1.7 mln views! :thumbsup:

The singer behind that FS had died recently so his skate gained some attention

and being featured on Buzzfeed helps too

Donovan doesn't appear on the list of US International Classic :( , (I hope that he prepares for some other challenger event and not a resurgence of his injury :pray: )
Although Open Mexico will be taken into account as an ISU event, both Donovan and Andrea don't plan to participate :scratch2: (Other skaters prefer to participate in their country with the support of the public)

Good luck to Donovan in ACI :hap10:

Donovan Carrillo recognized as a promoter of sport as an engine of development, tolerance and respect for the UNESCO of Mexico :clap: https://twitter.com/UNESCOMexico/status/1174775308869931009

In addition, a beautiful interview was published in "Muy Interesante", THE INTERVIEW WITH ... DONOVAN CARRILLO, THE MEXICAN CHAMPION ON ICE https://www.muyinteresante.com.mx/j...-carrillo-el-campeon-mexicano-patinaje-hielo/

Donovan Carrillo Suazo, is the best ice skater in Mexico, who at 19 years old has participated in several world championships and is emerging as the first Mexican in his specialty to participate in Olympic Games after more than 20 years.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST OFFICIAL COMPETITION IN WHICH YOU PARTICIPATED?
Yes, it was in Mexico, and I competed against the best youth skaters in the world. I remember that among them was the current world champion in the senior category; there were also figures that I admired because I watched his videos.

YOU DEFINE YOURSELF, WHAT DO YOU DREAM OF?
Since childhood I dreamed of doing triples and I did it, also to do triple axel and I did it. Now my dream is to be the first Mexican to do quadruple jumps, and I am giving my best to achieve it.

The interview is somewhat long and has nice pictures of Donovan throughout his skating career :love: although he lets read between his lines his possible retirement :( "Once I have already fulfilled my goal of going to the Olympic Games, I would like to study physiotherapy"

Thanks for sharing!! I'm so happy that he gets the recognition he deserves in spanish language media from time to time. He really is making sports history for Mexico and Latin America :clap: :cheer:

While looking for the results of the 2019 Open Mexico, I found the layout of Donovan in the 2019 Hielo Juegos (apparently he participated because the event allows him to qualify for the Nationals, the funny thing is the minimum TES to access the national championship, SP 16.1 and FS 19.4 , Donovan exceeded both easily)

SP http://www.femepashidi.org.mx/resultados/hielojuegos2019/AVANZADOS2VAR_SP_Scores.pdf (he got a deduction for late start :shocked: )
FS http://www.femepashidi.org.mx/resultados/hielojuegos2019/AVANZADOS2VAR_FS_Scores.pdf (only salchow and toe... apparently judge number 2 vanished :slink: )

For now, no announcements of competitions for Donovan :confused: , we could consider that he is likely to participate in the Nationals in November and then in Zagreb in December (Andrea Montesinos announced her participation, they have attended the same events before) :pray:

:think: scores look strange, judge 3 must have fainted, also the pcs go from average to criminally low. the good news is that he jumpend both his 3A cleanly and didn't fall in fs (he would make a great ballet dancer :luv17:)

JUST WOW! :shocked:, both looked clean to me :agree:, although I would like more rotation in the first one, how this kid can improve that fast? :eek: I will not say what I'm talking about to make sure you will watch this :cool14:
I hope he goes to Golden Spin of Zagreb with Andrea in December as he often competes with her :luv17:
