Deniss Vasiljevs

I’m not very sure....but for me ....it seemed like he completed a 4T in the program without fall [though not sure it is 2ft or not....
 
Congratulations to Deniss on his win! :clap:
It looks like he had a pretty successful skate today :hap10: Can't wait for the video.
 
FS judges scores. Fully rotaded 4T, but with minus GOE (hand down?). No underrotations - Agnes R., your wish came true :).
No +3 either, but in this point of the season is OK.
Hope for fan's video.

Quite a relief after SP, where everything was :love:, but jumps... Believe he just forgot take them to the icerink ;).

I love both his programs. Truly and at first sight :luv17:. His moves in SP were extraordinary. His SP costume... is the most neutral it could be. Underlining his body and directing attention to the moves.

Good start for the competetive season.
 
So the 4T was slightly two-footed. The best in competition till now, no wonder.

And he did +3 in the warm up. Everything is on right track.

The lion's yawn before start was precious :laugh:.

It's a great pleasure to see Deniss so happy. It doesn't matter that the competition and the pressure was small and he had no real rivals. Deniss, however, did a quad and it certainly would raise his self-confidence. :clapper:

I am already looking forward to the next serious competitions, because he surely will polish up his performances.:)

Probably Deniss will never be the toughest jumper, but he has an artist's soul and a marvelous range of emotions and it is what I really appreciate!

Congratulations to the happy coach as well!

And thousands of thanks to pianomaya65 for the posts. :thank:

I am ecstatic about his FS! What a triumphant performance! I feel like he skated a little cautiously after yesterday's disaster, but it certainly paid off, and he was indeed 20 points clear of the field by the end :) And it was certainly a treat to see him so delighted with his performance. Also, there is so much gold thread in the flower print, even without stones or sequins it shimmers beautifully!

I have quite a few doubts about the SP, though. I think the layout change is smart as his 3Lz3T is usually very reliable, so I'm happy to see it put in the bonus. But, although it is masterfully choreographed, and Deniss performed it very well, I don't think this program suits him. The funky sound and the melancholy lyrics are at odds, and it's confusing. I would probably like it more if it were instrumental. And the shirt is ugly. Either navy, or black, but not this weird paint splatter?reptile print?-esque mix, Deniss! Not even bling can save it :noshake: That said, I don't hate it, it's not a bad program, just not my cup of tea.
 
Well, I'm not so pessimistic about the short program. There have appeared one more post of HD quality. Here the whole picture looks better or maybe it only seems to me. But I totally agree about the upper part of the costume. It's too dark, inexpressive and looks like a workout outfit. It certainly lacks some brighter accents, for example, a belt or something like that.:noshake:

But I'm in the same thoughts about FP. It will be an excellent program in the future. Maybe till the Worlds he'll add one more quad.:luv17:
 
Another practice video from Minsk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qr4jJSc6So Good to see he is also working on 4S (from 14:30). To my eye, he's still landing forwards, but after his eventual success with the 4T, I'm sure he'll get that in his jump arsenal soon as well. :yes2:

There's also a very good 4T attempt at 26:57, cleaner than the one he landed in the FS :luv17:

I did watch the SP a few more times... there are quite a few parts of it I do like. The choreography is really good on the whole and it's certainly ambitious; there's so much of it. I don't like the high kick just towards the end of the stsq because I don't understand why he has to put his arms under his leg, it looks odd. The sideways drop/back kick looks a bit strange as well, but but I think it'll look better as he gets more comfortable with the program. On the whole the packaging is just not really working for me. It gives off Jason Brown-vibes, almost.
 
Funny GIF from SP practice :luv17:.

My guess: this dance choreography for "Papa was a rolling stone".
