One more thing to add - we're halfway through the ISU Challenger Series, and Daniel leads in the men's standings with a combined score of 458.81. Next in line is Menshov. Granted, only 8 skaters have competed at 2+ events so far, but still, pretty impressive considering he was also earning medals on the JGP concurrently.

Any news on Daniel? What's his next competition?

He's entered in the Mentor Nestlé Nesquik Torun Cup - Jan. 6 - 10.

He's pretty active on Periscope & posted some quad loop attempts today (already deleted, unfortunately). He has a way to go, & I'd like to see a little more stability with the quads he has now, but I like his ambition.

Daniel close in time melts the ice on the way to the top

"Off the radar" in the ice rink impressed by the performance of young Israeli virtuoso (17) and in the same breath his imitations crack up laughing. Daniel close in time striving to break into the top global rink and exactly how Sherlock Holmes would help him in this?

US Championships in 2007, Novak Djokovic, then a young tennis player Bhaflto surprise finalist, made headlines not only because of the impressive athletic achievement but also for entertaining gimmick. Djokovic, used to end his games make a crowd pleaser with imitations of the biggest tennis stars: Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova even.

Like Djokovic, sliding on the ice too young Israeli, Daniel close in time (17) with a gift for imitation and a lot of humor. A few years ago View close in time to the world championship ice skating and imitated his pleasure Patrick Chan, Canadian skating star with a host of medals in the World Championships and the Winter Olympics.

The parents of close in time to not only torn successful imitation of laughter, but also obvious visual similarity between the son and Chan. Close in time decided to film the imitations of Chan and upload them to the Internet. These imitations quickly became a hit in the community ice rink and gave close in time a lot of attention.

"I received a lot of positive feedback on these videos," says close in time, "I did not mean to laugh at God forbid Chan. Everyone asks me if he had seen the imitation and the truth is I'm not sure. I talked to him since, but he never mentioned his imitation . There are two possibilities or that he did not see him, or he saw and did not care. "

Time will tell whether as Djokovic, close in time to become a star not only because of his excellent sense of humor but also for his athletic brilliance, but his opening data certainly promising.

Coach father, the mother is responsible for the choreography
Close in time is one of the greatest hopes of Israel in winter sports. He is considered one of the world's best skaters age. This year he was given an official stamp on it when he was invited to the final Grand Prix for Youth, a prestigious competition in which participants only six best young skaters global round.

Considered his virtuoso performance by any standard. Already at his young age he is able to perform a number of exercises, including jumping complex with four rounds in the air (Quad). Industry commentators did not spare superlatives when transmitting its performance and skates-on like a world champion, Javier Fernandez and Olympic medalist, Denis Ten, heaping compliments on it.

Ordained judges was born in Israel into the ice rink. His parents and his older brother trainers, Massachusetts (25), he slips himself. Close in time to 1998, when he was born, his father was a coach Igor Israeli team. At the age of 3.5 ordained judges left with his family to the United States where he saw his brother sliding on the ice and ran well. Daniel Little used pecking endlessly to his father to teach him to slide. The father hesitated at first and wanted to allow the child to grow before starting to slide, but when his son reached the age of five, He broke down and began to train him. Even today, when close in time he has been a pro skater, business remains a family. The father is the coach, mother Irina is responsible for the choreography and he and his skaters.

Hebrew is enough to forget the long years in the US, but it still feels very connected to Israel and proud to represent her. "When I was 15, my father asked me if I wanted to compete for Israel. At first I was afraid, Israel is a small country and there is a lot of skaters, I had my doubts, "he admits," but when I thought about it I realized it would be great for me to represent the country where I was born, the place where my heart really is. In the end it was my decision. "

Entered into the character of Sherlock Holmes
Despite his young age, the next week close in time to compete at the European Championships for adults and this is not even his first appearance on this occasion. Last year he finished in tenth place respected Israeli team as his friend, Alexei Bitz'nko rated fourth. A very high level in Europe, the most famous European skater Javier Fernandez Spaniard is crowned world champion last year after deposed the titular Iozoro Japanese ships considered the biggest star of the industry. Although the competitors listed, close in time aiming as high as possible. "I want a place on the podium," he declares, "I will have to work very hard for it, I hope to show my best."

The unique character and sense of humor, too close in time to bring the ice surface. Even his bows at the end of the exercise is trying to add a third light and occasionally pulls his tie shirt, waving to her audience. "I want people to feel that no matter how I enjoyed my walking exercise," he says.

Not by chance, he chose his long exercise music, the theme song from the film "Sherlock Holmes". "This music lets me get into the character sometimes bizarre, sometimes clever, sometimes crazy. Sherlock Holmes, it was crazy, he thought about things no one else has thought of. What is sometimes when I concentrated jumping, I forget that I have to be within a specific figure" he says.

Like every athlete dreams too close in time to participate in the next Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang County in -2018, but more than anything he wants to do it together with his brother. Massachusetts currently injured and so gave up this season, but he plans to return next season and try to get the Olympic criteria. Currently, it is not clear whether Israel will be two places at the Olympics ice skating competitions, and may be a scenario in which only one of them can compete. The mother may develop a rivalry within the family? According to Daniel really not, "We work very hard together, we push each other and I hope that at least one of us will come to the Olympics. I'm sure he will not be angry if I did not come, and he will not be upset if the opposite happens."

His own clothing brand
Today, life revolves around ice surface San Diego. US law allows students to study at home instead of at school and close in time to use it to combine school athletic career. His training sessions are held from Monday to Friday, every day four hours devoted to skating and another two and a half to the gym and running. Day Saturday and Sunday are designed for rest.

When it comes to Israel, close in time to not give up on the beach and visit the grub to shawarma, "really a shame that it's not good for sport. Every time I come to Israel I am gaining weight and then I have to download
Then, but my dad let me because he knows that there is amazing food, "says close in time.

Mental maturity he displays on the surface is also reflected in his personal life. For example, despite not yet 18, close in time to have been thinking on both the business and has recently established together with a clothing brand named White Wolf, Black Wolf (white wolf, black wolf). "The idea is to create my own fashion label so people will take part in a journey with me. We've already developed a model father of jackets and in a few months we will start to sell them. I hope to get some clothes for Israel. Money I make I will help my career and I will donate to charity. I have a lot Ideas head. "

As from Wednesday close in time juggling you can watch the ice and into the insane character of Sherlock Holmes at the European Championships in Bratislava will be broadcast in the country Eurosport. If enthuse the young virtuoso's performance, even you will soon invite his jacket.
