Denis Ten died today after being stabbed in an attempted robbery. He was 25.
.
He was an incredible skater and a super talent. In my few interactions with him, Denis was gracious and kind, always happy to chat about anything. His is a loss beyond words. Denis, you are loved.

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him.

This photo does show the work troopers and local officers do to serve the public. But also in that photo is a man struggling with the decision to take his own life. Please remember help is available through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

One of the best reactions of the Olympics. Aliona Savchenko and Bruno Massot come from 4th place to win gold for Germany. Absolutely unreal routine. They’re both BAWLING! Wouldn’t have watched this only for @SecondCaptains & @SineadOCarroll’s podcast last week!
