As the United States Olympic Trials in December 2013, Garcia turned in time of 34.85s, 0.29 better than his personal best, in his second 500-meter race.
At the 2014 Olympic Trials, Garcia appeared to qualify for the team in the 500-meter sprint, only to have his time disallowed due to his failure to wear a backup timing device.
The following day Garcia made the Olympic team by finishing fourth in the 1000-meter event.
His combined time from two skates placed him fourth, and Garcia appeared to qualify for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
However, he had failed to wear a transponder, which serves as a third timing device in some races, on his ankle.

He was granted a re-skate, but his re-skate time was good enough for only sixth place, outside qualifying position.
"Today was tough, especially because I qualified that fourth spot," Garcia remarked.
"I know I was good enough to be on the team. That’s something nobody can take away from me," he added.
Shani Davis, who claimed the fourth spot after Garcia's disqualification remarked "I was really pulling for Garcia to pull through and make the spot, even if it knocked me off the team ... I want the best skaters to go."
The following day, Garcia skated in the 1000-meter event where he was given "no chance" to qualify by many commentators.
Garcia, however, turned in a career best 1:07.95 and moved into fourth place with several skaters remaining.
No one who came after Garcia bettered his time, allowing him to qualify for the Olympics.
"I was definitely doing some praying after my race," he said.
"Not to sound weird or cocky, but I kind of feel like I already made the team yesterday."
After qualifying, he skated a celebratory lap holding the timing transponders above his head "[you] might as well be able to make fun of yourself," he commented.
