He hinted he was working on a quint at the press conference at SA, but has said he won't be attempting it in comp until after the Olys. I don't think he has posted any vids.

In the post above, Dikidzhi is the Russian alternate for the Oly spot, behind Gummenik.

Speculation is he may be planning on making his season debut at Cranberry Cup, which would make sense if he's aiming to pace his entire season schedule for peaking in Milano-Cortina. I could see him doing Cranberry, Lombardia, GPdF, SCI and the GPF during the fall.
