I had to make it a giphy but I wanted to save this longer quote.
Sums it all up nicely and sets a good mood for Saturday.

Lovely performance despite the mistakes. He enjoyed himself and got a standing ovation and this this the most important thing.

Wow, really nice article. I'm glad Deniss is a deep thinker and I'm happy he enjoyed his skate. Well I enjoyed it too.

It's great that we get bits from here and there and can "put the puzzle together" here

Amazing performance! Redemption 4 years after the last disappointing Saitama WC.

I truly appreciated his attitude today which seemed more relaxed or just as relaxed as he wanted to be.
Also him being quite happy with the skate that was not a 100% is very nice to see.
He can put it into perspective better than anyone else and if he's happy, I am too.

His goals were different here and accomplishing (some of) those is as important as placing X for others.

Quick quote from FS day

Deniss Vasiljevs (LAT) 2022 European bronze medalist
I’m happy. I found the courage, and honestly went for it. I particularly enjoyed a few pieces that finally felt how I wanted it to feel. Not the full thing but some pieces felt very emotional to me. I am overall happy and I think this is a step forward and I look forward to improving on that. (about the artistry in his free skate) I don’t want the feeling to be heavy, but the feeling is like going forward but struggling, it’s hard to get a mental picture but it’s like a train, picking up momentum, like the old fashion ones where it builds up and builds up and at some point it feels like I ran out of gas, I guess coal in my case, but I still carried the moment the best I could. I was in the moment, I was there. Even though I was fully aware of what was happening and that I was losing it, I was pushing the focus and mentally staying in the image. So I was happy for the ability to stay in that mental discipline. I would love to reform a few things that I learned this season and I look forward to bringing more honestly enjoyable performances rather than competitive performances. I don't just execute, I live what I do. I want to showcase the performance within the systems requirement.

Congratulations to Deniss. I'm sure his 21st place finish in 2019 at Saitama Worlds didn't feel too satisfying, so 13th seems much better! I was so happy to see him at Sk Can this season. I really hope he gets one of the 2 North American events next season! Just keep remembering Deniss, artistry matters!!! ❤

Do you think there is any hope he will go to the Kurbada Cup on 2 weeks in Latvia. I so want to see his programs one more time.
I think his performances at Worlds were great.

Do you mean Wolmar Spring Cup? Could not find another Latvian competition around that time.
According to their sheet, entry fees had to be paid until yesterday.

If I found the correct scoring page and if that's updated, there's no senior men entered at all so far. That could mean anything

On Wikipedia it stated Kurbada, but its not shown as cancelled. I just want to see him compete one more time, I already miss him.

We'll see.
Maybe chances are higher now as he did only one small comp before Worlds.

Or it might also depend on his, Stéphane's and Shoma's plans. Who will work when and where on new programs perhaps?
When he's doing home vacation now/soon, he could do it, if his vacation starts later than competitions are over anyway.

Don't know about shows etc.

No gala for Deniss. Which is a SHAME. But there's a fan meeting with the Japanese fan club tomorrow.

Yep. It's just
They even moved that meeting iirc to avoid scheduling conflict.

There's two really nice pictures from the FS in the ISU gallery. I can't decide which I like better so here they are both

Woa. In combo? Two of them?
Was that the moment when the crowd went nuts during the warm up and you could only see Deniss waving at them but the camera didn't catch what he did? Damn.

Wonderful that Koshiro went there!
