Welcome to a bumper edition of The Ice Skating Podcast!

This episode we’ve got three top interviews.

Spanish former Figure Skater Javier Fernandez, a bronze medalist at PyeongChang 2018, is the perfect man to preview the season ahead - and the road to Beijing 2022. 

He tells us what he’s been up to, highlights his “ones to watch” for Olympic medals - and speaks about his pride in the continuing success of Spanish Figure Skating.

Meanwhile, the Short Track Speed Skating season gets underway this week in Beijing - and we’ve got two perfect guides.

Yang Yang of China is the most successful female Short Track racer of all time, and joins us live from Beijing to tell us about how the Chinese capital is preparing for the biggest event of all - and her admiration of Dutch racer Suzanne Schulting. 

Charles Hamelin of Canada meanwhile is Short Track’s most experienced male skater - can he grab another Olympic medal at the grand old age of 37? We’ve got the inside track.
