New masterpiece: a lemon tart :luv17:
A thought: he published a photo in the morning - if it's new, it means he didn't practice today... To be honest, my hope was the rink in Champery as a private rink could be open for private sessions...
Anyway, Deniss looks healthy and in good mood, what's what I wanted the most.

A very beautiful tart, it made me feel better :)

I'm afraid the rink may be closed for good now :( But who knows. I'm not sure what's the current limit on how many people can congregate in public in Switzerland: no more than 5? No more than 2?

But judging from the photo: isn't Deniss at Stephane's now? If so, they can at least train indoors.

And it made me nostalgic...
This time a year ago they celebrated Satoko's birthday after SOI rehearsals. So... maybe it's kind of a gift for her as she liked Deniss' lemon tart?
And no SOI (and probably FaOI) this year. Hope there are some shows in the summer...

Last time I checked it was 5 so why I was thinking about practices. But things changes very quickly.

I imagine being lonely would be an extremely depressing experience nowadays. So I hope they can spend time together.

Stephane posted a video of himself working out at home the other day, so I think even them in the paradise have to be quarantined :(
I can bet Deniss is not bored in the least during this period :laugh: The pie looks delicious and perfect ! (not surprisingly so)
I can imagine he will draw a lot, too :luv17:
Just hoping he is also following the example of his coach at the same time :laugh:

Indeed sad times, no Worlds, no shows, no rinks... But maybe Satoko will bake the lemon tart too (like she baked the blueberry pie). Fingers crossed for a reunion in the summer!

I think it was 5 at the time they filmed that boomerang a couple of days ago but it may be fewer now.

I imagine being lonely would be an extremely dejected experience nowadays. So I hope they can spend time together.

It's definitely uplifting that Deniss isn't all alone at a time like this. I hope the three of them (I assume) can amuse themselves and each other with some cooking, drawing, fantasy worlds and so on as we are all waiting for better times. And who knows, maybe they are coming up with a great new programme as we speak ;)

I think I can see a baking tray in this video, so maybe baking and working out come as a bundle ;)

And maybe at the next meeting with fans Deniss will have his entire fantasy story outlined :)

Clearly a boy with multiple talents and full of imagination will have many reasons to take advantage even of this surreal period!

Maybe he made it today for Satoko's birthday. :)

Urmanov admits that Vasiljevs sometimes scares him because he moves so fast across the ice. “I just sometimes ask him: ‘Please, don’t do short track for me. We’re doing figure skating.’”
:rofl:

(it's from quite old feature but I'm sure Deniss hasn't slowed down ;))

April 2nd is Stephane's birthday! 35 years old! That's a nice number. Something has already passed, something has already been achieved and done, but so much remains to be done, there in the near and distant future.

For a figure skater’s career it might not be the best number. I really feel sorry but life is life! Still, I hope that he will surprise us! :pray:

It is wonderful what a talented person can achieve up to 35 years of age! So many performances of mesmerazing emotions, unsurpassable artistry and amazing musical feelings!

Today I spent a lot of time watching Stephane's recordings (thanks to Covid-19). And there is such a huge amount of them - in championships, Olympics, shows in Japan, shows in other parts of the world, in Verona Opera days, with the charming Carolina and Kira, with Daisuke and Deniss. They cannot be forgotten!

Best wishes and good luck as a coach! You will surely be one of the best coaches!

These videos made me so happy and full of emotions then and today! But there are much much more! :thank:

All from Moscow 2014. So different and fabulous!

Short track is even more stressful to watch than figure skating even if I don't know the athletes because they keep taking each other out of the race so I hope Deniss sticks to fs :laugh:

"As a boy (he’s still a boy)" - this is funny, I forgot just how young he was in his senior debut :)

I've recently listened to this interview from the same year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A21NJ37PCc It's in Russian so I understood about 75%.

In case it has escaped somebody's attention - the ISU present to all figure skating lowers. :thank:

It was a feat to rewatch these :) Deniss's programmes and performances there were so good! :dbana:


Deniss will feature in Stephane's tomorrow's workout tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXgpPTspFu4

It looks like it was recorded last month on the same day as the workout boomerang: https://twitter.com/TarorezYo/status/1251401138785542144


And I think this wasn't posted here - Deniss's cake for Stephane's birthday: https://twitter.com/FSIgstories/status/1245681429389938689

I was certainly watching both SP and FS :luv17: despite the fact I know the performances by heart ;).
Worlds 2019 are also available (but it's still hard for me to watch... I loved his FS for this season and Deniss never skated it clean... I felt sorry for him as he struggled so much ...).

Training with Team Champery (which was a livestream after all) was a lot of fun and it's still available online: https://youtu.be/OXgpPTspFu4
I enjoyed it very much (and tried to keep up of them... for some time at least :laugh:). Deniss took part in another "Keep Training" session on Stretching for Performance (I must admit I didn't try it...) - here is a part of his training: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIiBqQw3-AA. And Champery is going to provide another session, on Saturday, May 9th.

And... probably the best news: Palladium de Champery will be open from May 21st! It's high time I'd say :party:.

Is the skating rink in Champery open yet? And will Deniss finally get great spin scores with the new rules?

will Deniss finally get great spin scores with the new rules?

I think he's already got nice scores for his spins: according to the data, his combination spin in SP got only 0.10 pts less than the best one (i.e. the highest scored) last season, and he got 0.13 pts average scores less for the spin than the highest scored skater.
In case of the flying spin, it's 0.01 and 0.11 respectively, and for the change food spin it's 0.23 and 0.41. But sure, +5 GOE across the board is something I would like to see at last :agree: (and him getting the best score for a flying spin as he IS the best in it...).

What I'd like to see are his Lzs scored as high as they deserves. As the BV for them is lower this season, hope the judges remember there is still GOE ;)
And probably it's high time to show us those quads which are ready according to Stephane. I mean it's the best time to jump them now, one season before Olympics, even if it would mean lower scores. If Deniss's been still thinking about them, I wish he doesn't wait any longer.

They have a lot of time to think over programs for the next season(s) so I'm really looking forward to seeing them. Certainly sometimes I've been listening to the music and thinking: I wish Deniss to perform to it :). Like this or this. Or this. Or this. This is what Caro performed to and it has so much potential... I love their Spanish Caravan and Light my Fire but I wonder if Stephane would like to face the music once again.. Anyway, I'm so curious what will next programs be.
(and when we are talking about music choice: the story about Deniss and Stephane walking on the bridge and discussing the music for Deniss reminds me this song :laugh:)
