I really enjoyed his FD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwexxp7a6QY
I enjoyed his SP too, he has nicer hair here than in his long program, but I thought he could straighten up his back a little to this masquerade song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3Gh_WlAoyc

hey anything can happen at Olympics, right? At least he can do some quads. But overall, I enjoyed his performance. Kolyada has great height in his quad jumps but he couldn't land them at Europeans, heartbreaking for him, I enjoyed his elvis program. How many spots for the russian men at Olympics?

I did not see it coming this season simply because I know how much he has struggled with injury. I was upset that he didn't take more time off to recover. But I know his character and his potential, so I was not shocked that he was able to show it. He didn't even go to the last practice session because he forgot his skates, and he skated last after Javier, and this was his very first Euros! So proud of him!
The 18-year-old admitted that his program to “To a Build a Home” by The Cinematic Orchestra is deeply personal for him.
“The program is quite emotionally difficult because it is very personal to me,” he shared. “It is related to my parents. It is my life. I moved away from my parents to live alone in a big city, while my parents lived in a different city. So, the story of my program is that at the start I say goodbye to them, in the middle I see them again and embrace them, and at the end I am on my own again, building my own career.”
I think you have to be 100% committed and hungry for success to leave your family when you are young. Deniss and Javier also had to do it. If you are talented and hungry enough then the sky is the limit, imo.

I didn't see it coming, but glad it cameAlongside Denis this was the performance of the night for me.
I saw him at an earlier competition this season - maybe Rostelcom? - and I really liked him then. I thought he showed promise.
But, no, I didn't think he'd be on the Euro podium. TBH, I didn't even think he'd be on the Russian team.
I saw him more as a talent that would reveal itself on the world level over the next four years.
