Stagniūnas said, that he was very happy to take part in 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, where he travelled together with his partner Isabella Tobias. Unfortunately, due to his health problems – severe pain - Deividas is forced to finish his skating career and resign from taking part in the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Games.

The skater said that it was not easy to make this decision as skating was all his life and it is very hard for him to imagine his life without training or competitions. Nevertheless, Stagniūnas believes that every end is the beginning of something new and therefore is full of hope.
