I came away from that video thinking, rightly or wrongly, that now I know why Deniss struggles with jumps, Stephane just doesn't consider them all that essential. That seems to me to be over interpreting what he's saying a bit. I took Stephane's point to be that if skaters really do start jumping quints the importance of skating skills, musical interpretation, etc. will fall even more by the wayside than it they have now, and so that's why he doesn't want to see it happen. I think Stephane realizes you need to land your jumps to be competitive.

December 16, 20196 yr Maya Shibutani just posted on her instagram that she is in hospital after having a mass removed from her kidney. She went to the ER in October for a stomach ailment, and while being tested for that, they saw something on her kidney, and recommended further testing. The tumor is now removed, and there's a 60/40% chance it is malignant. I hope things turn out for the best for her, and wish her 'god bedring!' (Heal well!)
