I LOVE HIM what an icon bwahaha (video is not visible on the dash but still works when you click on it to view on twitter)
Translation:
“I think it was good. I actually began to hate that people say I was close or that I made a mistake when I do a 4-2 instead of 4-3 so from now on I’ll add it as 4-2 to my layout”

You might wonder how is it linked with Phd. The answer to this question is that this photo was taken on day four of the winter school organized by the Swiss universities. The entire day was dedicated to snowboarding or skiing. That’s quite some luxury according to the Swiss PhD students.

the deniss situation is super frustrating!! I see people say "oh, he should quit the quads and just be the next jason brown" and forgetting that JB tried that quad toe for so long and ultimately there is only so far you can push a tech ceiling, especially when your competitors are all getting a second quad in the short already. Deniss clearly likes working with Steph and they clearly share an artistic vision of skating but I wonder if Deniss would benefit from a summer camp w a different team that has a different (or any?) jump specialist for a bit.
I agree wholeheartedly on the "super frustrating"! Such a tragedy.
I know why ppl make the comparison between Deniss and Jason's situation, but Deniss is a completely different person. So while their struggles seem to be comparable, you cannot just copy paste another skater's strategy and think that it would work the same way.
Ppl don't only forget that Jason was struggling with quads for his entire career, but also that their situations have some differences.
Jason had a powerful federation to back him up, Deniss cannot rely on his fed pushing his scores. (not to say Jason didn't deserve his scores, but sometimes his GOEs seemed a bit high compared to other skaters that did just as amazing triples with difficult entries etc. but were from small federations, not even Yuzu received as high GOEs on triples throughout his career though Yuzu wasn't from a small fed either, this was just an example)
Deniss isn't as consistent as Jason is/was with his triples. If Jason fell on the quad try you could maybe see him struggle a bit with the 3A sometimes but not with any other jump. Deniss isn't able to recover from his quad fall as quickly and he never had the same success rate with his triples in competition to begin with.
Ppl don't like to admit or see it...Deniss skating skills and transitions aren't nearly as good as Jason's were. Jason is exceptionally in the transition department, Deniss is great but there is still a jarring difference between what those two do.
Skating nowadays relies a lot heavier on jump abilities than when Jason was struggling with quads. There is only a couple of years difference age wise but skating has changed a lot. And let's also not forget that not being able to do a quad did make Jason miss the Olympics in 2018 and almost also in 2022. So it's not like Jason's strategy was always working against stronger jumpers in the US. Deniss is just luckier in that regard bc in this case a small country is a blessing.
I am not sure if the technical expertise is lacking for Deniss. They invited jump specialists to Champery, Ghislain Briand is giving summer camps there for several years in a row, he's now even part of the coaching team, so actually Deniss does have a lot of specialists to work with. Maybe a summer camp with different ppl or approaches could help him. Maybe the problem is more mentally than physically, I don't know just speculating. There are videos of Deniss landing quads both 4S and 4T even in combination. So technically he is able to do them, just the success rate in competition is basically 0.
I was also thinking is Stephane still the right coach for Deniss? I know this opinion is widely unpopular but if it weren't Stephane specifically would that option be still this outrageous? Ofc they share a vision and I also understand that the entire success of Deniss' senior career is a joint work between Stephane and Deniss, but there is only so much a coach can do for you. And maybe it reached its limits. I think Stephane himself even looks frustrated when Deniss came off the ice at SkAm. It's just a thought so pls don't come at me...
We aren't in his shoes and I wouldn't want to tell what is right for him. For me it's just clear that his current strategy is not working and that he can't continue this path forever bc it can't be mentally good to not be able to get any kind of success. Maybe they are already aware of the problems and are working on it. I hope he'll find a way. I cannot offer a solution, just wish him well.
I can only repeat, it's frustrating. And it's probably or definitely the most frustrating for Deniss himself.
Crossing my fingers for the free skate! 🙏

Shoma isn’t here for it….
This has got to be about Koshiro 🥺😭
like I know Sota deserves it after the international season he’s had (especially after the GPF) and Kazuki met more selection criteria than Koshiro… but still, that’s his friend and training mate (and for I don’t even know how long, the only person he could speak Japanese with in Switzerland) who he FINALLY GOT TO SHARE A PODIUM WITH — AT NATIONALS where he would probably be so excited to get to go to the next two major competitions with him as a perfect Champery Quad of Shoma, Deniss, Koshiro and Stephanè at worlds — so of course he’d be upset for his friend and kohai 😭
#thank you once again shomagravity#also I love both Sota and Kazuki and their skating so much#but also I’m heartbroken for Koshiro who never gets his chance (literally he wasn’t even originally assigned a GP this season)#Shoma Uno#koshiro Shimada#Stephanè Lambiel#team Champery#figure skating#jnats 2022#japanese nationals 2022
