Personal life

Deniss Vasiļjevs was born on 9 August 1999 in Daugavpils, Latvia.[2] His mother is a former dancer.[3] In 2016, he began living in Champery, Switzerland, but remained a student at Daugavpils Russian Secondary School - Lyceum.[4] He enjoys drawing[5] and speaks four languages – Latvian, Russian, French and English.[6]

Career

Vasiļjevs began skating in 2002.[2] As he was often sick, his parents decided to involve him in a sport, first considering swimming and then skating.[7] Around 2010, they arranged for him to train under the guidance of Lithuanian coach Ingrida Snieškienė in Paris, France.[3] Due to his schooling, he spent part of the year training in Daugavpils.[3] His figure skating role models include Stéphane Lambiel, Daisuke Takahashi, Patrick Chan, and Javier Fernández.[8]

2013–14 season: Junior international debut

Vasiļjevs debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit in 2013, placing 7th in Riga, Latvia and 10th in Gdańsk, Poland.[9] He was named in Latvia's team to the World Junior Championships, held in March 2014 in Sofia, Bulgaria. Ranked 11th in the short program, he qualified for the free skate where he placed 7th, pulling him up to 8th overall.[10]

2014–15 season

During the 2014–15 figure skating season, Vasiļjevs placed fourth at both of his Junior Grand Prix assignments, in Courchevel, France and Tallinn, Estonia. He won the silver medal at the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival, held in January 2015 in Dornbirn, Austria.[11] He began working with Alexei Urmanov before the 2015 World Junior Championships,[8] which took place in March in Tallinn, Estonia. He placed 8th in both segments and 7th overall.[12]

2015–16 season: Senior international debut

Vasiļjevs began the 2015–16 season by winning silver at both of his JGP events, in Riga, Latvia and Toruń, Poland. He is the first Latvian skater to step on a JGP podium.[13][14] Making his senior international debut, he placed 5th at the 2015 Mordovian Ornament before taking the bronze medal at the 2015 Tallinn Trophy.[13]

In January 2016, Vasiļjevs was sent to his first senior ISU Championship – the 2016 Europeans in Bratislava, Slovakia. He finished 12th after placing 14th in the short program and 10th in the free skate.[15] In February, he competed in Hamar, Norway at the 2016 Youth Olympics. Ranked third in the short program and first in the free skate, he finished second overall with a total score 1.09 less than gold medalist Sōta Yamamoto of Japan.[16] His silver is Latvia's first Youth Olympic medal in figure skating. Vasiļjevs was assigned to compete in the mixed NOC team event as a member of Team Discovery. Placing first in his segment,[17] he lifted his team to the bronze medal.[16]

By 2016, Vasiļjevs was training almost full-time with Urmanov in Sochi, Russia.[8] In March, at the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary, he won a small bronze medal for the short program and finished 8th overall.[18] Later that month, he competed at the 2016 World Championships in Boston. He qualified for the free skate by placing tenth in the short program and went on to finish 14th overall.[19]

2016–17 season

In spring 2016, Vasiļjevs had new programs choreographed by Stéphane Lambiel in Champéry, Switzerland.[14] He was diagnosed with a tear in his left adductor muscle during the off-season and visited Toronto in late July 2016 for physiotherapy.[20][21] On 25 August 2016, he announced that Lambiel had agreed to coach him in Champéry.[22][23] He started practicing double jumps in early September.[24] He also worked on developing his program details, steps, and spins.[25]

In November, Vasiljevs made his Grand Prix debut. He placed 11th at the 2016 Rostelecom Cup and then 6th at the 2016 NHK Trophy. He ranked 6th in both segments and 7th overall at the 2017 European Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic. In March, he won his first international senior gold medal[26] at the 2017 Cup of Tyrol. He finished 14th at the 2017 World Championships in Helsinki, Finland. Due to his result, Latvia qualified a spot in the men's event at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

2017–18 season

Vasiļjevs began his season in September, finishing 4th at Lombardia Trophy.[27] He finished in 8th place at Rostelecom Cup.[28] In November, he was 9th in the short program[29] at NHK Trophy but placed 5th in the free skate and climbed to 6th overall.[30] He went on to win gold at Cup of Tyrol for the second time.[31]

In December, Vasiļjevs won his 3rd national title[32], and along with Diāna Ņikitina, was subsequently selected to represent Latvia in figure skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics.[33] At the 2018 European Championships in January, he placed 3rd in the short program and earned a small bronze medal.[34][35] He was 5th in the free skating after falling on a downgraded quad toeloop and finished 4th[36], matching the record finishes of Angelīna Kučvaļska[37] and Konstantīns Kostins at previous European Championships.

At the 2018 Winter Olympics, Vasiļjevs was 21st after the short program after falling on a triple axel.[38] In the free skating he fell again on a triple axel and on another element,[39] but was able to move up to 19th place. In March, Vasiļjevs competed at the World Championships, where he skated a clean short program and placed 9th.[40] In the free skate, he set a new personal best and national record to finish 6th overall.[41][42] His 6th place finish is the highest ever placement by any skater representing Latvia in any discipline at Worlds.[43]

2018–19 season

In October Vasiljevs competed at Japan Open, placing 5th in his segment but winning silver as part of team Europe. He placed 8th at NHK Trophy and 7th at the Internationaux de France. He was scheduled to compete at Golden Spin in December but withdrew due to illness.[44]
