Denis Ten

I am really impressed of how good he is as the athlete ambassador. I paid more attention to Denis after I saw some fancam from WC 2015, (though I totally watched it bcs of Yuzu at first). The way he answered the questions is very good. Quirky & entertaining.
And after following some news about the bidding for Olympic 2022, I totally respect him more. Even the way he graciously deal with the outcome! Respect. He's totally not 'just' an athlete.

To compete or to complete? What if I try both. A story is a complete product — it has a start, it has an end. A plot itself is hidden in between and it is what makes the actual story. To come up with it is one thing, to realize - another, to deliver it - truly a challenge. But how to fit a story in 2:50 or 4:40? I found a solution once... In 2013. Was being an "Artist" back then. This time, it's a bit more personal. What the heck do I mean? You'll see and hopefully understand. #dilogy #2015 #2016

Yeah...I checked the 'programs by discipline' thread and nothing is listed over there. I can't wait to see what he brings us this season. Someone has to know something

In the season of 2012-2013, I had the pleasure to introduce a unique conception of 2 programs being connected to each other.

I still remember how intimidating it was to call mr. Carroll to share the concept I felt in love with. And I also remember how surprising it was when my head-coach approved the idea. Lori Nichol, my super-choreographer, and I were never thaaat excited to start working on a "real" set of new programs.

But the real challenge was to actually present the programs in a skating competition. Nobody ever used the same conception before and we didn't know what to expect.

However, the programs "Artist" became one of the most special and, in some ways, crucial in my career. I won the first World Championships medal in the history of Kazakhstani sports, and, also fell in love with the concept so much that I dreamt to do it some day in the future again.

Happily, this mini-dream has been fulfilled for the upcoming season.

My new programs will consist of 2 parts, where the character himself faces a lifelong dilemma and everything will be revolving over one thing that makes us human beings. Emotions. And I'll try my best to deliver the Emotions to the audience.
