Mark Fernandez (born July 13, 1988]) is a Canadian former pair skater. With partner Amanda Velenosi, he is the 2007 Canadian national junior silver medalist and placed as high as 6th at the World Junior Championships (2007).
Career
Fernandez's first pairs partner was Kristen Lambrinakos-Raymond, with whom he competed in juvenile and pre-novice pairs on the national level.[1]
From 2003 through 2006, Fernandez competed with Jennifer Thibodeau, with whom he was the 2006 Canadian novice national champion. He also competed as a single skater on the novice and junior levels.
Fernandez teamed up with Amanda Velenosi in 2006.[1] They won a bronze medal on the 2006 ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit in Oslo, Norway. The pair won silver on the junior level at the 2007 Canadian Championships and were assigned to the 2007 World Junior Championships where they placed 6th.
In the 2007–08 season, Velenosi / Fernandez won silver at their JGP event in Tallinn, Estonia and placed 5th in Sheffield. The pair qualified for the ISU Junior Grand Prix Final where they initially placed 5th. They later moved up a spot to fourth as a result of the retroactive disqualification of gold medalists Vera Bazarova / Yuri Larionov due to a positive doping sample from Larionov. Velenosi / Fernandez placed 10th on the senior level at the 2008 Canadian Championships. The pair finished 9th at the 2008 World Junior Championships.
In 2008–09, Velenosi / Fernandez placed 5th and 9th in their two JGP events. They were also assigned to one senior Grand Prix event, the 2008 Cup of Russia, where they finished 7th. The pair ended their career after placing 10th at the 2009 Canadian Championships.
