Omg. Literally last night when I was with my cheer team at Cheesecake Factory for an end-of-the-season dinner, I kept checking my phone to see results for the men's SP, and when I saw Deniss' score, I literally shouted "YES!" outloud and probably did a little fist pump. And they of course asked me why I shouted and I had to explain.

As much as a quad or two will help him no doubt I am deathly worried about the consequence, considering the tidal wave of injuries these days... I feel a little like an overprotective mother hen!!!
:(well, maybe better haircut is in order too)
:rofl2: It sort of grew on me though, it does have a certain charm *only* on him and his personality 
Whatever he does I hope he won't go for the partially shaved partially long horror like Jorik Hendricks and Ivan Righini are sporting!!!! 
I would prefer a bowl head

Wonderful new interview

I think he's growing up so much this year that he will probably change his hairstyle by next season. But he could always go back to the baby mullet he had when he was younger

He has an entire list of favourite skaters/role models. First on his list is Stephane Lambiel of Switzerland.
“He was the first skater that I really loved his skating,” he said. As a boy (he’s still a boy), Vasiljevs watched Lambiel all the time, every time he could. “It was like the first moment of work that I would try to skate as him,” Vasiljevs said. “I was always trying to reach his level.”
Well that explains a LOT of things!!!:agree:

Solid top 15 finish for Deniss! (14th)
He looked so tired at the end!
Keep working, boy, you'll have a bright future!

He did absolutely great for his first showing at Worlds, and without a quad! This is only the beginning indeed! And I'm sure he's picked up a ton of new fans this week.

It was so great to see him skate in person! Amazing! And he's only 16, so he could possibly be a huge force when he's older!

Actually it must have been an exhausting period for him. He had 4 major competitions in 2 months, Europeans in Slovakia, Youth Olympics in Norway, Junior Worlds in Hungary then he only had only 4 days rest before he travelled across the Atlantic ocean for the Worlds, with 6 hours time difference (which meant he had to perform at 4-5am in his local time back in Sochi). Then he delivered the smashing SP, perhaps it was too much to ask for a 16 year old new comer to maintain that level for the FS. All the same it was an incredible debut in WC for him, he let his name and presence known loud and clear, crowd went wild for him and even the judges acknowledged his performance skills and gave him his due PCS in his FS. That was no small feat!!! I am so proud of him and can't wait to see what he can pulls off next season!

Latvian tv report about Deniss at Worlds:

I'm terribly jealous of everyone who got to see him live. If he gets assigned to SA next season I will have to find a way to go, no matter what!

OMG, does this kid ever take a break? He'll perform in the opening ceremony at the synchronized skating Worlds tomorrow.

I confess I have zero interest in synchro, but I will surely watch him!

Oh my goodness me! I hope he takes a break for a bit after that because...wow....that's a lot in the past month! Not to mention travel!

Ehhh, the power of youth...
And he's going to skate in Lambiel's show in Switzerland later this month.
Take care, Deniss, we want you 100% healthy, crisp and motivated! Squeeze in some rest in your busy schedule sometime!
