If he loves nature, I'm all the more happy that he can train in Champéry, because although it's a bit of a big touristic village/small town, hikes in the forest and mountain are really close, and the air is quite pure.
I'd love to understand what Deniss is saying in both of the clips - is there an easy way to translate the subtitles? (My technology knowledge is really poor......)

I have used the automated translation available on Youtube. It's a bit difficult to catch, but it's worth it because I had the impression that I could get most of the conversation (I may be wrong, as I don't even know how to say hello in Latvian, which is therefore infinitely less than Deniss Vasiljev's knowledge of Japanese).
Down the picture on Youtube, rather to the right, there's a subtitles symbol, like a text. First I click there. Then it shows "very helpful" subtitles in Latvian. Then I go to the settings symbol (a gearwheel) and click, and I'm proposed among others, Latvian or Auto-Translate, and I choose Auto-Translate. Here comes the difficulty. The screen jumps to up the GoldenSkate page, at first we can believe that something wrong has happened, but not, one just have to scroll down until the right Youtube screen shows, and it's still running, and we're proposed dozens of languages. Here too it's a bit tricky to click on English or whatever language we prefer (normally English will bring a better translation) without Youtube believing us to have clicked on Amharish or the like. And then it works, we have the video with automated translation in English.
 

SP 89.21 and I'm waiting for protocols to see how his 4S was scored :clap:
It looks like he landed a 4S in the short and a 4S 2T in the free - is this the first time he's landed rotated quads in both programmes at the same event?

I can't wait to see these programmes at Euros - Deniss and Kevin are my main reasons for going.....

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain how to do this, @DizzyFrenchie - I really appreciate it - I've got it working and am sitting down to enjoy both interviews! Fantastic.

I believe that his Free also included a Solo 4S, but he popped it at Nationals into a 2S. It's really a plus in terms of Base Value, and either because Salchow is an edge jump, or because he manages to link them harmoniously, this combination doesn't look awkward as often look a quadruple jump in combination with a double toeloop. But I remember that when Shoma Uno came to him "in a bad place", Stéphane Lambiel had him jump this sort of combination first, so this is a coaching method of his and it's useful score-wise too, because this way, Deniss Vasiljevs had a two-quad Free Skating, and the 2T doesn't tick a triple/quadruple repeat box.
