Yes, I've watched the interview and it was heartbreaking.
Personally, I just want to deleted my entire memory about Wc......The whole ”Deniss and Quads” thing during the practice session almost drives me mad. The interview makes it feels worse........that I don’t think I would ever gather my courage to watch it again.
Sometime I just feel like figure skating is such a beautiful but cruel sport........ The reality is that you go for the quads, practice hundreds of them, suffering from the mental and physical pain and the taking the potential risk of getting injures , but no one (even the best jumping coach and technique specialist) could ever promise that it will work at the competition. The only thing you can do is to give out all you had and hopefully.....
But I guess....this is the reality that athletes like Deniss need to face....As a fan I can do nothing to about it, but it just gives me more respect to the skaters who chose this pathway and will continue work toward it.
Talking about motivation, of course Deniss never lack of it. I guess maybe what I try to say is that.....well, Deniss may not put the ranking as his priority (and btw personally, I doubt it...), for him , the most important may be to bring out the perfect performance(including all the technique elements, of course) to his audience and keeps challenging himself, which, in my opinion, require no less strength(if not more).
And about the “rival” from the same rink.....well, let’s face it , nothing in the world only have positive side. It will bring both the opportunity and challenge, and I had faith that he will cope it well[emoji6][btw I do think Koshiro had been in Champéry for about.....more than two years?At this point in time they would already got used to each other and it is not like a sudden changes that come out of no where , so I don’t think we need to be concern about it.......
Next season may be better, it may not be as well. We never know.( I am not being negative, but ......the reality is, no one could change the past, no one could decide the future......)We live in this moment, which and that is what makes the “present” a gift.
