The pages that speak of Donovan and his mother are available in the online version of "Milenio" and on Facebook "Donovan Carrillo Latinoamerica" and "Donovan Carrillo Fans México" :love:

"The children are for that, to show them the way when they are children and let them fly for their dreams" - Diana Isela Suazo - "Since he was little he was the most quiet and simple, he didn't give problems. When his coach went to Leon and Donovan told me he wanted to follow him, I left him because I trusted both of them (...) It was very hard for me, Donovan was barely 12 years old, I fell a bit in depression, but I couldn't move with him to Leon or cut his dreams, was what he wanted and we had to support him (...) For a long time we both cried every time we had to say goodbye, but the satisfaction of watching him smile on TV and videos while slides on the ice reinforces the conviction that we did the right thing".

:sad4:

Thanks maryeli, I love this! As a mom I can totally relate to his mother and her words made me cry. 😢 ❤️

Thank you Maryeli! :agree: I thought I had read in one of the articles that Donovan intended to do another Juan Gabriel program, but I was not 100% sure of my Spanish comprehension.

Now I will go test it on YouTube:biggrin: Is "Minuto 44" a well known show or "Canal 44" a well known channel in Mexico?

This is not the same Juan Gabriel song he has skated to the past two years, but a new one. I like this keep the artist try a new song idea.

A little sad to see him focusing on the JGP for another season. In someways he is more suited to the senior circuit where artistry is more appreciated, and he can get higher PCS. I might rather see him in senior Bs than JGPs.

Also if he does JGP he can't do senior grand prix and he is eligible. I know him getting a first round pick is almost certainly not going to happen, but I do think he is a very appealing choice for a last minute replacement for Skate Canada/Skate America... he is good looking, not a medal threat and a North American who can get there easily.... honestly I could easily see him being a last replacement to either with the way things work out.

I find him so charismatic. Really enjoyed the 44 interview. That would be great if he could get a pick for SC or SA.

Thanks, Maryeli, I really enjoyed this (although it bothered me they missed an "r" in his last name when they put the phone and his picture, no big deal but...). I'm excited to see these new programs! He's such a sunshine!

Now I will go test it on YouTube:biggrin: Is "Minuto 44" a well known show or "Canal 44" a well known channel in Mexico?

How did it go? Do you need any help with the interview?

"Minuto 44" isn't one of the well known sports shows 😔 but I'm happy that some are giving him a chance and little by little he's getting more recognition. Of course, he needs a lot more! I would love to see him doing commercials and getting real sponsors.

@StitchMonkey and @Arriba, I agree with you! It would be great to see him at SA or SC.

Thanks, I definitely understood some (particularly, unfortunately the presenter more than Donovan, since he was in the studio rather than on the telephone), but I don’t know enough to know what I don’t know:laugh: my French is pretty good, my Italian conversational,and my Spanish... well, it’s third, sorry to say. (Completely OT, but I love interviews with Stéphane Lambiel, his French is so precise and I understand every word. My grandmother always told me I should have studied more Spanish instead;) )

And me three for the GP; and I know Donovan would be a crowd pleaser!

It was great! He warmed up with a couple of 2A, a 3Lo and a 3F. And then went on to perform amazingly. Here is the video:
https://youtu.be/cxeG0JhxKYA (excuse my cheering if you can hear it)
Afterwards quite a lot of people rushed to the boards to het a picture or autograph. He is wonderful, he received every gift and letter thankfully and I managed to take a picture with him. I told him there are a lot of Mexicans that are so proud of how he is representing us and I wished him good luck for next season :yes:
Edit: we are still at the rink. Now he has come out and is helping some of the students with their jumps.

So awesome! What town is this? Is this where he normally trains? Has to be a shopping mall rink. I think I spot Hagen Daz and Chili's. :laugh:

It's Mexico City, Donovan trains in Leon as far as I know, which a 3-4 h drive from here :)
And yeah it's a shopping mall, there aren't many rinks here that are not inside a mall. But at least it gave us a chance to have breakfast before he showed up :biggrin:

So glad you got to see him and thanks for the vids:clap:

I'm impressed that there are rinks in shopping malls. I know the Galleria in Dallas has one and I think Katelyn O. ? used to train at a shopping mall. But I personally have never seen one.:)

I am not a big Juan Gabriel fan so I can't be sure, but it seems like it's his new FS music?

^^^I used to skate at a shopping mall rink here in the Chicago area ( a LONG time ago) for awhile, but I'm pretty sure there aren't any anymore...This was great for Donovan to have a chance to promote skating. It was so wonderful that he made it to the FS at Worlds. I'm sure it was a great confidence booster.

Thanks xibsuarz! I never knew he was going to have an exhibition! What shopping mall is this? We have so many malls now in Mexico City that I don't even know them all...

Your video is great, he really is a sweet kid and I'm glad that you got to meet him. Please tell me if you know about other exhibition, I would love to go! 😊

I don't know a lot about Juan Gabriel either but this is definitely not "Hasta que te Conocí" so it must be his new FS. Glad he can get to practice it with public!
