Notes

Sochi 2014, figure skating costume worn by Javier RAYA (ESP). This costume is inspired by the musical and film «Les Misérables», the source of the music Javier Raya chose for his short programme. The style, material and colours are nods to the historical period in which the musical is set, and a departure from the sequined clothing more commonly seen in this event. Speaking about his donation, Raya said: “My story with The Olympic Museum goes back to 2018, when I visited Lausanne for the first time with my friend Antoine Dorsaz, the Swiss figure skater and Olympian.” Donated by the athlete on a visit to the Olympic House
