Eddy Alvarez Biography

Eddy Alvarez is one of the most popular and richest Skater who was born on January 30, 1990 in Miami, Florida, United States. The son of Cuban immigrants, Eduardo Alvarez was born January 30, 1990 to mother Mabel and father Walter. He grew up in Miami, graduating from Christopher Columbus High School.

For the 2011 season, Alvarez walked on to the Salt Lake Community College baseball team. He became the starting shortstop, batted .303, and was named to the All-Conference team for the season. However, his knees did not improve and he finally decided to have them checked out. His doctor found that Alvarez had multiple tears, twelve total, in the patellar tendons of both knees.

Alvarez underwent five plasma injections before resorting to a surgery that could have ended any chance of a skating comeback. He had surgery in March 2012 and was completely immobile the next four weeks. “That was a tough time,” he recalled. “My all-time low. I was ready to quit.” His father persuaded Alvarez to persevere and by July Alvarez was ready to return to the National Team. He returned as the team was falling apart in the aftermath of accusations that head coach Jae Su Chun had mentally and physically abused athletes. Chun was forced out and formed his own skating club, taking half the National Team with him. Alvarez stayed with the official team. “I went back into the national racing program because the only way I could do it was with support”, he explained. “I couldn’t do it on my own. I had to do what was best for me.” Alvarez’s muscles were so weak from disuse that he could not even navigate a set of stairs without help. While his teammates worked on their skating skills, he underwent intense physical therapy to rehabilitate his leg muscles.

After intense physical therapy, Alvarez made the United States’ World Cup Team in December 2012. He finished the season as the country’s third highest ranked skater. During the 2013–14 World Cup season, Alvarez won three medals. At the 2014 Olympic Trials, he placed second in the 500 meters, second in the 1500 meters, and third in the 1000 meters. The performance made him the first Cuban-American male speed skater to make a U.S. Olympic team. At the Olympics, he won a silver medal in the 5000 meter relay after failing to medal in his three individual events. Prior to the Olympics, Alvarez said he planned to give up speed skating after the Games to concentrate on baseball.

Alvarez made the 2008 and 2009 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships, winning a gold medal in 2009. After missing the 2010 Olympics, he returned to baseball in an attempt to give his knees a break after years of chronic pain. He became an All-Conference shortstop, but his knees did not improve. In early 2012, Alvarez underwent surgery to repair badly torn patellar tendons that left him completely immobile for four weeks. He returned to the National Team in July, but was too weak to navigate stairs, let alone skate competitively.

The son of Cuban immigrants, Alvarez grew up in Miami, Florida. He took up roller skating at age five, performing on the beach. He began ice speed skating at age seven, and at eleven he won national age-level titles in inline, long track, and short track speed skating. In high school, Alvarez took a break from skating to concentrate on his other love – baseball. He played well enough to earn a college scholarship, but instead quit the sport to pursue his Olympic dream.

Alvarez made the 2008 and 2009 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships, winning a gold medal in the 3000 meter relay at the 2009 edition. Hampered by a stomach virus, Alvarez placed seventh at the 2010 Olympic Trials and missed the team. After the Trials, he decided to take a break from skating to give his knees a break after years of chronic pain. “It got to a point where I couldn’t finish workouts. I would come home and cry”, he recalled. “But I would tell myself to push through it because it was the Olympic season and I had nothing to lose.”

By December 2012, Alvarez had recovered enough to qualify for the World Cup team. After the 2013 US National Championships in January, he was ranked fourth overall on the US team. He made the World Championships, and moved up to third by the end of the season. During the 2013–14 ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup, he won a gold (at Kolomna) and a silver (at Seoul) in the 5000 meter relay. He also won a bronze (at Shanghai) in the 500 meters.
