0:00:10 > 0:00:12Flat! Again!

0:00:15 > 0:00:17Do you get it now?

0:00:17 > 0:00:18ALL: Yeah!

0:00:18 > 0:00:20Yes? Great.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Making it as a champion skater doesn't come easy.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26It takes years of practice...

0:00:28 > 0:00:29..hard work...

0:00:29 > 0:00:32One more, then I'd be a very happy coach.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34..and dedication.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38Five, six, seven, eight! Edge, edge! Not too bent...

0:00:40 > 0:00:43But even then, only a few will become tomorrow's...

0:00:46 > 0:00:47..Ice Stars.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54We've been behind the scenes of the National Ice Centre in Nottingham,

0:00:54 > 0:00:59where the country's top skaters learn all they need to become ice stars.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07As well as skate, we've seen them eat...

0:01:07 > 0:01:09To Adriano and Ella!

0:01:09 > 0:01:13..and eat...and eat!

0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Look at the sheer beauty...- Very good.- ..of this courgette stalk.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Very impressed.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18We've seen them cry.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22I couldn't contain my tears!

0:01:22 > 0:01:24We've seen them laugh more.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29They've fallen over...

0:01:31 > 0:01:33..and over...

0:01:34 > 0:01:36..but got right back up again.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40One, two, three, four! Positions!

0:01:40 > 0:01:45- Bend your knees!- Push! Fast, fast, fast!- Quick feet, quick feet!

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Get those feet moving!

0:01:47 > 0:01:50To be the best on the ice takes real dedication,

0:01:50 > 0:01:54but once a year, our skaters get the chance to forget winning or

0:01:54 > 0:01:58losing and just show friends and family what they can do.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02It's time for the annual gala and a chance for all the different

0:02:02 > 0:02:06disciplines to come together for one almighty performance.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19This is my first gala

0:02:19 > 0:02:21and I'm feeling excited about it.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24We've got the whole family coming,

0:02:24 > 0:02:25the whole of the immediate family

0:02:25 > 0:02:27coming to watch Solomon perform in the gala.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Solly only started skating two years ago,

0:02:31 > 0:02:34but the coaches saw his natural potential when he mastered

0:02:34 > 0:02:39a tricky jump and he won a spot performing in the elite boys' team.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43See you later, all right? Off you go, darling.

0:02:45 > 0:02:50With gala day finally here, no-one is more excited than Ella.

0:02:51 > 0:02:55When Adriano came over from Italy in search of a partner,

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Ella was made up.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00When I found out that I was going to be

0:03:00 > 0:03:02partnered with Adriano,

0:03:02 > 0:03:05I felt really happy and excited.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Ella had been finding school tough,

0:03:07 > 0:03:11as some people didn't understand her commitment.

0:03:11 > 0:03:16I'm not going to give up, because of what people say about me.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20But there are others who can't wait to see her skate at the gala.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Are you guys coming to watch me at the gala?

0:03:23 > 0:03:25- TOGETHER: Yeah! - Thank you!

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Today, for the first time,

0:03:27 > 0:03:30the pair will skate as a couple in front of a packed arena

0:03:30 > 0:03:34and hope to show everyone that all the waiting has been worth it.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Yeah, spin... - Spin, then you jump, like that.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41We've never performed as a couple before.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45We've performed in front of our mums and dads when we've practised,

0:03:45 > 0:03:48but never in front of hundreds of people.

0:03:50 > 0:03:54Another gala first timer is ice hockey player Charlie.

0:03:54 > 0:03:58He was given a skating scholarship and since then has wowed the coaches.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Today, he has ditched his hockey kit and will be narrating the gala,

0:04:04 > 0:04:06along with his schoolmates, instead.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08We are coming on the ice

0:04:08 > 0:04:09and introducing all the flags.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13This is actually my first gala and I'm feeling really nervous.

0:04:13 > 0:04:17After months of rehearsing new routines, it is

0:04:17 > 0:04:20not only the skaters who are hoping tonight will be a success.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23A little bit nervous, um,

0:04:23 > 0:04:26but very positive.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27So, I think we are ready.

0:04:29 > 0:04:35For ice dance couple Josh and Ellie, today's performance is extra special.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38Josh was thinking of leaving skating to try

0:04:38 > 0:04:40and make it as a ballet dancer.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42But after lots of soul-searching,

0:04:42 > 0:04:45he decided to carry on skating with Ellie.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48I've decided to do another year of skating.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51It's really good news and I'm really happy about it.

0:04:51 > 0:04:52So, today, Ellie can relax,

0:04:52 > 0:04:56knowing Jelly will perform for at least one more season.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01Family and friends have come from all over the UK to see

0:05:01 > 0:05:05this year's gala - Around The World In 80 Skates.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09150 ice skaters will come together for the gala and each

0:05:09 > 0:05:14performance will be given a country or a continent as its theme.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Only two skaters will perform solos tonight,

0:05:17 > 0:05:20champion figure skaters Kloe and Josh.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Are you nervous?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24I'm all right, what about you?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26- No.- No!

0:05:26 > 0:05:31Gurgen said they sold, like, 2,000 tickets. Where is your mum sitting?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Um, I don't know, actually, I don't know where my parents are sitting.

0:05:34 > 0:05:35Do you know where your mum is sitting?

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Feeling all right at the moment, but I haven't seen that many people

0:05:38 > 0:05:43sat watching, so I'm sure I'll get a little bit nervous before I go on.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45My whole family is, like, coming to watch me today.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48I have my mum, my dad,

0:05:48 > 0:05:53my grandma, my uncle, my auntie, then I have two more

0:05:53 > 0:05:57uncle and aunties, and three of my school friends are coming.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01As the crowd flood into the arena, behind the scenes,

0:06:01 > 0:06:05our anxious skaters are desperate to get the show started.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11We are about to go on and everyone is rushing around everywhere.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14I'm just waiting so that I can get my boots on.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16I'm fine at the minute, everyone else seems to be

0:06:16 > 0:06:18running around everywhere.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21The final preparations are over,

0:06:21 > 0:06:23all the months of training are behind them,

0:06:23 > 0:06:28and tonight, for one night only, the skaters will all perform together.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31It's showtime!

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Charlie takes to the ice with his mates

0:06:33 > 0:06:36for their important roles as narrators.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,

0:06:45 > 0:06:49we are going to skate Around The World In 80 Skates.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Kids, are you ready for the journey? - ALL: Yeah!

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to Ireland we go!

0:06:56 > 0:07:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:07:00 > 0:07:03MUSIC STARTS

0:07:17 > 0:07:20Ice dance coach Woody and skating partner Robynne are first up.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24They are one of only three dance partnerships at the Ice Centre.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30With the lack of boys in ice dance,

0:07:30 > 0:07:34not all the girls have been lucky enough to find someone to skate with.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Backstage, solo skaters Kershia, Lauren and Kloe

0:07:38 > 0:07:40are getting ready to head out on the ice.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Right, I've curled my hair four times now!

0:07:43 > 0:07:48Tonight, none of them are worried about having partners,

0:07:48 > 0:07:50because this is their time to shine,

0:07:50 > 0:07:54as the whole ice dance team head to the ice for a group performance.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58We are off to Argentina.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Let's tango!

0:08:02 > 0:08:06MUSIC PLAYS

0:08:24 > 0:08:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:28 > 0:08:30On the ice, it's all going to plan,

0:08:30 > 0:08:33but it is anything but calm in the dressing room

0:08:33 > 0:08:36for Alexia and the figure skating crew.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Guys...- Top up your lippy! - No, no time for that.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42All right, everyone ready, team?

0:08:42 > 0:08:43ALL: Yeah!

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Has everybody got everything?

0:08:45 > 0:08:50You haven't forgotten your brain, yourself...? We are good to go.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51One number, guys...

0:08:59 > 0:09:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:09:03 > 0:09:05That actually went really, really well.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Feels like it's just over too quickly, like, all this work

0:09:08 > 0:09:10and you get a two-minute theatre thing in a two hour show

0:09:10 > 0:09:13and you're like, oh, come on! At least let me do an encore!

0:09:13 > 0:09:16We don't really get to do this very often,

0:09:16 > 0:09:18like, the couples go off and do their thing,

0:09:18 > 0:09:21we go off and do our thing, so, it's really nice to come together

0:09:21 > 0:09:22- and just enjoy it as a group.- Yeah.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24The gala is in full swing.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27The first few acts have smashed it.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29So far, so good.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35Figure skater Josh is moments away from performing his solo.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38We are just sewing on the final bit of my costume to my T-shirt,

0:09:38 > 0:09:41so it doesn't fly off during the routine!

0:09:41 > 0:09:45You'll probably see me running to the ice, like, "Wait!"

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Josh has had a tough season.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56At a competition in Luxembourg, he was gutted with his first

0:09:56 > 0:10:00performance and had to skate on with an injury in his second.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03I cut my finger just before I was about to go on,

0:10:03 > 0:10:07so I had to deal with that halfway round.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09He just missed out on a medal.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13- Aww!- Two points off third!

0:10:13 > 0:10:16His family have moved house, schools

0:10:16 > 0:10:21and jobs to be closer to the rink and he doesn't want to let them down.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22- Hi, Mummy.- Hi, darling.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Even if his sister jokes about it.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Hopefully, he'll make it to the Olympics and win gold.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32If he doesn't, then he's in trouble!

0:10:32 > 0:10:34In a couple of minutes' time, he will get the chance to

0:10:34 > 0:10:38show his family just what their sacrifices have meant to him.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42But before that, Alexia, Emma

0:10:42 > 0:10:45and friends are sending the crowd into a spin.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:10:59 > 0:11:02On the sidelines, Josh nervously waits to perform.

0:11:06 > 0:11:11APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:11:11 > 0:11:15And it's a chance to put his Luxembourg disappointment behind him.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19This is his moment.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Go on, Josh!

0:11:23 > 0:11:27MUSIC: Overture from Carmen by Georges Bizet

0:11:52 > 0:11:55CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:55 > 0:11:57He's done it.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Now, that looks like a performance from a future Olympian!

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Chloe's going to be so proud of her big bro.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06I enjoyed it, going out there today, knowing there wasn't going to be

0:12:06 > 0:12:08any judges or anything watching, so that was nice.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11The jumps weren't the best, but they were done.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13I landed and people clapped, so, you know...

0:12:13 > 0:12:15That's all you can ask for, when you land and people clap.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18I'm happy with that, yeah. Very tired now!

0:12:18 > 0:12:20There's still two more routines to go. Ohh!

0:12:20 > 0:12:23- At least it's done now, though. - That's the hard one over.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Yeah, that's the harder one done.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Bringing a bit of rough-and-tumble, it's the ice hockey boys.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42And who says they can't dance?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47The acts just keep on coming.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Backstage, Adriano and Ella are warming up.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Although they've only been partners for a couple of months,

0:12:54 > 0:12:57the coaches are so impressed that they've decided to let them

0:12:57 > 0:13:01perform with champion ice dance couple Josh and Ellie.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02I've got you!

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Yeah, I know, but you're, like, twisting round!

0:13:05 > 0:13:07For Ella, this is a new beginning.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09But for Synchro Captain Emily,

0:13:09 > 0:13:13her skating career may soon be coming to an end.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15I've got to choose whether I stay next season or not,

0:13:15 > 0:13:17because of schoolwork.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20With the Icicles winning the British Championships and beating rivals

0:13:20 > 0:13:25France at the Worlds, Emily has found it hard to make a final decision.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29This could be my last time skating with the girls,

0:13:29 > 0:13:31so it'd be really, really sad that it might be the last thing.

0:13:31 > 0:13:35I just want to enjoy it and, if it is my last, then it is my last.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38So, Emily and the girls are going to give it their best in the gala,

0:13:38 > 0:13:41just in case it is her last performance.

0:13:41 > 0:13:44You want to impress everybody else that skates, so, it's kind of

0:13:44 > 0:13:49just like a competition, we've got to perform exactly the same.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52MUSIC PLAYS

0:13:59 > 0:14:02The Icicles dance their carnival routine one last time

0:14:02 > 0:14:04before they finish their season.

0:14:13 > 0:14:16Now, that's a performance to make their captain proud.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19The performance went very well. Everyone was so happy after.

0:14:19 > 0:14:21In saying that it was a good performance, obviously,

0:14:21 > 0:14:24it was the last one of the season, so we've ended it on a high.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26ALL: Go Icicles!

0:14:28 > 0:14:31For ice dance couple Adriano and Ella,

0:14:31 > 0:14:34the next performance marks the beginning of a new chapter.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39The lipstick's darker.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47The couples are skating next, but on their way to the arena,

0:14:47 > 0:14:50there is a problem with Ella's costume.

0:14:50 > 0:14:51Her mask is stuck.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01Elly, Elly. We're on now.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05Whatever anyone does to help,

0:15:05 > 0:15:09the mask just seems to get more and more tangled.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Jelly are already on the ice.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13If they can't get the mask sorted,

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Adriano and Ella might not be able to join them after all their hard work.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18Quick!

0:15:21 > 0:15:24MC MAKING ANNOUNCEMENTS

0:15:28 > 0:15:30Let's go to Armenia!

0:15:30 > 0:15:33They are announcing the routine. Jelly are off.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Wow. They made it, just in the nick of time.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46MUSIC: Flashlight by Jessie J

0:16:44 > 0:16:48What a beautiful performance from both of the couples.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52Adriano and Ella have done it - their first skate as a partnership.

0:16:52 > 0:16:56Watch out, Jelly, looks like you've got some competition here.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59And just look at their family and friends' reactions

0:17:05 > 0:17:07There was a moment where I thought

0:17:07 > 0:17:11I wasn't ever going to get there on time. I was really stressed.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14And then, when we got to the side of the ice

0:17:14 > 0:17:18and I still hadn't got it on, my heart was pounding

0:17:18 > 0:17:21and I thought they would start the music without me and Adriano.

0:17:21 > 0:17:25We still got through the performance and it was what I hoped for, really.

0:17:41 > 0:17:43Kloe has been anxiously watching the gala,

0:17:43 > 0:17:46but the wait for her solo is almost over.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Tonight's performance might be an emotional one

0:17:49 > 0:17:52as she is representing her home country Hungary.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Sasha, do you have a mirror?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm doing a solo today,

0:17:56 > 0:17:59which is a Hungarian theme, so I'm really excited,

0:17:59 > 0:18:01because, obviously, I'm from Hungary

0:18:01 > 0:18:03and it's a really big thing to me.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07Four years ago, Kloe and her mum left their family and friends behind

0:18:07 > 0:18:10so Kloe could train full-time in Nottingham.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13After years of training at the crack of dawn,

0:18:13 > 0:18:18all her sacrifices seemed worth it as she won the British Championships.

0:18:18 > 0:18:23But this season, things have not always gone to plan.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29At the competition in Luxembourg, luck wasn't on her side

0:18:29 > 0:18:32when she fell in both of her routines.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36So she recently travelled back home to see her family.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40She visited the rink in Budapest, where her skating career began,

0:18:40 > 0:18:43looking for inspiration for her gala routine.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45That was good.

0:18:46 > 0:18:47That was really nice.
