Deniss Vasiljevs

12th place with 18th SB is well-balanced expectation as Deniss proved he can deliver even in the most important competitions. 7th would be possible only with the biggest splatfest ever, however :cool:
I am happy they concentrate on good mood (approach is essential) and quality of his performances. Hope what he will remember after his first OG are only positive feelings.
 
I am so glad that they are not rushing on the quads. Making sure that he makes a steady progress without sustaining serious injury is the utmost importance. The longevity of those who mastered the quads at later stage (Javi, Bychenko, Voronov) and the fact that they remained relatively healthy and consistent, I believe it will be the key to the long term success. And I am fairly sure that some sort of change in the rules/trend will follow regarding the current quad madness. Kudos to their wisdom! :agree:
 
They interviewed Stephane and 2 other people. He talked about his Olympic experience, Deniss and Diana. About Deniss, he couldn't sleep the first day so he walked around the village. After that, Stephane and Deniss had a discussion. About Diana, Stephane says that she's a natural jumper and she has been working hard on the choreography, skating and spins.

Stephane's part is around 5:02

Stephane is so supportive of his skaters and he has so much faith in them. I'm really touched. I really hope both Deniss and Diana will have amazing performances. :)

Wow, Stephane's words made me all emotional, and the games barely even started :laugh:
I wish them all the best, I really do wish they reach the top together, they're such an amazing team :pray:
 
I watched the interview https://www.diena.lv/raksts/sports/z...saule-14190819 Wow! We all know that Stephane likes and highly appreciates Deniss but here he is praising him to the sky!!!:hap85:


" I'm a happy coach!... He has a sense of musicality, a sense of artistic interpretation that no one has nowadays. No one!"

It's amazing and absolutely inspiring to hear such words from the skating legend!! And it makes me so delighted!:yay:
 
Deniss's instastory update https://www.instagram.com/p/BfDOz0YBmRM/
He was interviewed by the Olympic Channel! Looking forward to seeing that soon.

Also do people remember this tweet? https://twitter.com/ChrisTrevisan/status/864464999414214656
It turns out the documentary is finally going to be shown on Latvian channel TV3 on 17 February at 19:35. The trailer is here https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1628668720555019&id=1040063609415536&_rdr :luv17:

Jackie Wong keeps missing Deniss's practice sessions, so no reports yet :mad: Oh well. Once Boyang turns up he'll have to be there and then we will see.

Yeah. Jackie was there after Boyang arrived. :p Anyway, practice note on 13/2, 6:30 am. practice: 2A, 3Lo(hangs on), 3F, 3F2T2Lo, 3Lz, 3Lz3T(fall), 3Lz3T, 3A, 3A3T, 3S, 4T(<<,2ft), 4T(<<,2ft,step), 4T(ur,2ft,hand), 2T, 2T, 2T
Not ideal, but HANG IN THERE DENISS! YOU CAN DO IT! :pray:


Bonus: Diana's practice note on 12/2, 3:15pm: 2A3T, 3Lz, 2A3T, 3Lz3Lo, 2A3T, 3Lo(2ft), 3Lo, 3F
She has 3Lz3Lo. That's new. I wonder if she will use it :scratch2:

Oh goodie, he brought back the -2t-2lo! That should mean no solo 3T, so his BV is a bit higher. Hmm, I wonder what layout they're planning, with both 3A3T and 3Lz3T in practice. Or maybe it's a backup plan. :think:
Maybe:
3A3T
3A
3S
3Lo x
3Lz2T x
2A x
3F2T2Lo x
3Lz x
(This way he can put the 3T on the 3Lz if he can't get it on the 3A, though under CoP it's worth more to do 3A2T and do 3Lz3T in second half lol. But then what about the lovely bit of choreography after the 3F? :/ )

Steph said they planned to make Diana's tech more difficult, so maybe the plan is that she will do 3Lz3Lo instead of 3Lz3T :O
