[petro]

Nordeback put my mom to sleep in the arena. That’s all.

 

[KCC]

It's Johnny with a dye job and blue contact lenses.

A weird dye job. Almost looks like he I'd going grey at the roots.

 

[Allen]

No quad so maybe

But the slight sensibility of a librarian from the hunger games.

Nordeback put my mom to sleep in the arena. That’s all.

Every time I see him, I think it's for the first time but then I see his last name and realize I've seen him a bunch.

 

[Allen]

Even the coaches look bored.

 

[MacMadame]

I really like the top. The diaper/fanny pack just kills this costume for me.

 

[Holy Headband]

OK, seriously, is Deniss paying Chris to boost him so relentlessly? Chris's rapturous groan when Deniss landed his quad woke me up as I was starting to doze off in front of my laptop...

 

[4rkidz]

Wow Denis quad sal! Great triple triple too .. he is on

 

[miffy]

Who is this guy and what has he done with Deniss?

 

[Allen]

I really like the top. The diaper/fanny pack just kills this costume for me.

It's like grandma from Gladiator goes to a Cherokee Casino.

 

[Karen-W]

great start! Yes, Chris, it is!

 

[Allen]

Who is this guy and what has he done with Deniss?

Must be the stress from holding 13k people in his hands lol

 

[Karen-W]

Must be the stress from holding 13k people in his hands lol

Is the arena not full? If so, it's 19k...

 

[MacMadame]

great start! Yes, Chris, it is!

please note that great start doesn't count because it's no superlative enough. It has to be perfect/dream/fantastic/brilliant start

 

[Jay42]

The thing that makes the dumb fanny pack on Deniss's costume worse is it's a completely different pattern from the rest of the costume so it doesn't even match so it just looks absurd.

 

[Karen-W]

Deniss is skating like he wants Fedir to go to the Olympics with him!

 

[Vagabond]

Who is this guy and what has he done with Deniss?

Deniss has been in a witness protection program since he was sixteen while a double covered for him. He was finally released earlier this season.

 

[skategal]

Deniss skating a blinder.

Crowd loving this!!

 

[JoannaLouise]

Deniss frustrates me so much sometimes, but I keep loving him anyway. And that was pretty much the best program he could have possibly done!

 

[Citlali]

Denisssssss

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Ok, the competition ends now!

 

[Karen-W]

dying on the ice to end too!!!!!

 

[ks1227]

OMG, when is the last time Vasiljevs did this well?

Well this might be the biggest surprise of the afternoon/night.

I love his ending, very “Prince Charming has done all he could”.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Vasiljevs channels that great Latvian native Mikhail Baryshnikov!

 

[Kaz7714]

When Deniss is on he really is on. Fab stuff.

 

[Sally1214]

Oh my goodness, I feel a standing O coming for Deniss

Chris said 13, I was just repeating.
