0:00:02 > 0:00:04Previously on Ice Stars...
0:00:04 > 0:00:07I've been in synchro for two years now, I went from Ice Pops,
0:00:07 > 0:00:11which is the youngest team and then I went up to Icetastics.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Some of the people on Icetastics are already Juvenile.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16I need to really practise hard.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'm in Juvenile!
0:00:20 > 0:00:25- I'm in... Dad, look! Foundation said he's Juvenile!- Fantastic.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Said goodbye yesterday
0:00:28 > 0:00:31to my dad, to my brothers.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35- Ciao, buddy, ciao.- See you again. - Ciao, Victor.- See you again.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37It was a little strange without my brothers
0:00:37 > 0:00:39because the house was empty.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Do you think he'll stay or do you think he'll go?- Um...
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I'm not sure.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14It's a massive week of competitions for our Ice Stars.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Charlie and best mate Freddie have more trials ahead...
0:01:19 > 0:01:21PISTOL FIRES
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I could have gone faster.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25And emotions run high as Adriano
0:01:25 > 0:01:29and Ella are left fighting to keep their partnership alive.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Can't bear it.- His face was kind of really disappointed.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I knew it wasn't a positive thing.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47Making it on the ice means waking early, starting young,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and standing out from the crowd.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And one girl who knows all about trying to impress
0:01:53 > 0:01:55is 12-year-old Asiyah.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Her synchro dreams have had a huge lift since being picked
0:02:01 > 0:02:03to move up to a new team -
0:02:03 > 0:02:05The Silhouettes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Asiyah, eyes up!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Asiyah may have made the squad of 20,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15but only 16 get to skate in competitions.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- And so far she's not made selection. - Faster, Asiyah.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25The hardest thing for me in being in The Silhouettes is trying
0:02:25 > 0:02:28to get into the team to skate on the day of the competition.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Then you just need to work harder than everybody else.- Uh-huh, yeah.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- So that you get noticed.- Yeah.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I would rather be on the ice because all you're doing is watching
0:02:37 > 0:02:41them, even though you trained really hard to, like, get into the team.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46But, now, that could all be about to change.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Two, three, four.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50All season, the team have been working towards
0:02:50 > 0:02:52the British Synchro Championships.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56They were last year's winners, so there's a lot to live up to.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58They're fighting for their places to make the team.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01And Asiyah has spent the last six months trying to prove
0:03:01 > 0:03:04herself to her coaches, Lauren and Esther.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I need to be better than everyone to, like,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10stand out and make the coaches pick me.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13It's a tough decision. At the moment, it's 50-50.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15After months of waiting,
0:03:15 > 0:03:19today's the day the competition line-up will finally be announced.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Asiyah has asked Bethany,
0:03:23 > 0:03:27her friend from the team, to be with her for the big news.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Because this is Bethany's, like, third season,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33she already knows that she's skating and we're just waiting for a phone
0:03:33 > 0:03:38call to say if I got into the team or not and if I'm skating or not.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41How are you feeling about the phone call?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Nervous. Yeah, I'm feeling a bit nervous.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51PHONE RINGS
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Hello?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Do you think you'll get in? - I'm not sure.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01OK.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Oh, thanks for ringing, bye.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10THEY GIGGLE
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- Asiyah...- Yeah?- Bethany, they've announced the squad.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16What did she say?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19She said it was touch and go but they've decided to put you in.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- You're skating!- Yay! I'm happy.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24THEY LAUGH
0:04:25 > 0:04:30It's very exciting and good.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34With both girls now heading for the British Championships,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38they're wasting no time in trying to perfect their routine.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Five, six, seven, eight, twizzle.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- You go the other way. - Oh, yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50I'm really happy.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Now we've got Asiyah, we're stronger and we're going to win.
0:04:54 > 0:05:00Across town, there's another skating duo heading for the big time.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Ice hockey boys Charlie and best mate, Freddie.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11THEY LAUGH
0:05:12 > 0:05:15On my head, son! On my head!
0:05:21 > 0:05:22THEY GIGGLE
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Recently, this pair beat off the competition for selection
0:05:27 > 0:05:29into the Conference Ice Hockey team.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35And now there's another trial that could see Charlie and Freddie
0:05:35 > 0:05:37take on the very best in Britain.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43But hang on! They're not ice hockey players!
0:05:43 > 0:05:44HE GIGGLES
0:05:44 > 0:05:48That's speed skating. What's going on, Charlie?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52Speed skating, you do in laps and ice hockey, you're playing
0:05:52 > 0:05:54so you just skate around the entire ring.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01This is Charlie's other passion.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Both boys are now so fast that they've been called to see if
0:06:04 > 0:06:07they can skate two laps in under 34 seconds.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12If they can, they'll qualify for the British speed skating championships.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Before the trial, there's time for a shake and a...
0:06:19 > 0:06:20HE BELCHES
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Charlie!
0:06:21 > 0:06:23CHARLIE GIGGLES
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Do you know what the biggest thing on earth is?- What?- Earth.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- How many seconds do you think you're going to do it?- Um.... 58.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I thought you were going to say 45.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Why?- I think you're getting faster
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and faster every session on Saturday.
0:06:45 > 0:06:50I think I'm going to do it in 58 seconds.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Oh, dear.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57You're going to need to skate a lot faster than that to qualify.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Competitions season is in full swing.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12And the dancing couples from Nottingham are going for gold
0:07:12 > 0:07:14in Sheffield.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19It's the day of the British Ice Dance Championships.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Adriano and Ella are competing here in the Basic Novice category
0:07:25 > 0:07:27for the very first time.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30And Jellie will battle it out in the category above -
0:07:30 > 0:07:32the Advanced Novice.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Ellie and Josh are seasoned at it, if you like,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37they've done a few years at the British Championships now.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39They know what's coming.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43It's a big competition and there's lots of people watching.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45You have to be in the zone.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I don't think Adriano and Ella quite know
0:07:50 > 0:07:54what to expect just yet until they get out there
0:07:54 > 0:07:55and actually do their first skate.
0:07:55 > 0:08:01Me and my mum used to watch on the TV and now it's happening,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03it's exciting.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08But for Adriano, the excitement isn't quite the same.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11His mum and his brothers went home to Italy,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14so he only has his dad around now for support.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17'It feels so strange, because my family is not here'
0:08:17 > 0:08:19and I am missing them a little bit,
0:08:19 > 0:08:20but that is the thing,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24so we need to go on - and win!
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Hello!- Hello.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Italian coffee?- Italian. Italian-English coffee.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36The family have been missing each other so much that Adriano
0:08:36 > 0:08:38will only stay in the UK if he and Ella
0:08:38 > 0:08:41do well at the competition.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44The British Ice Dance Championships could be the last time that I am
0:08:44 > 0:08:47skating with Adriano. It makes me feel like I need to put
0:08:47 > 0:08:49loads more effort in.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51If the British goes really badly,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54probably, I will go back to Italy.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58The thing that will make me stay is winning the British Championships.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- ELLA:- I knew that we needed to do really, really well,
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- so that Adriano stayed. - This competition is really big.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08A lot rides on today.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11While Jellie head off to check out the competition,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Adriano and Ella get ready for today's dance -
0:09:14 > 0:09:16the waltz.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18In their last training session,
0:09:18 > 0:09:22the couple really struggled to get their timing right and coach Sophie
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- had to get tough.- You have got to concentrate and got to count.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28When you are out there, you are out there by yourselves.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30What are you doing?!
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Listen, don't worry.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35When you come to do your waltz,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- you must count your three turns.- Yeah.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- Hold each other's hands. - Come on!- Give each other a squeeze.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49Look at him. Look at her. Look, look. Eye to eye. Smile.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Are you going to do it? - Yep.- Yeah?- Yes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53This is it.
0:09:53 > 0:10:00With their rivals already on the ice, the score to beat is 11.99.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03But Adriano and Ella have never scored more than 5
0:10:03 > 0:10:05for their waltz before.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08# Not giving in... #
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Come on, you two. Count your timing and count your three turns.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Yeah?
0:10:16 > 0:10:21- ANNOUNCER:- Next to skate, from Nottingham, Ella and Adriano.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Once we have done the three turns, around the end,
0:10:50 > 0:10:55I can't really relax, because we have another set to do
0:10:55 > 0:10:59and if we go out of time, then it's all going to be over.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03# This time We are going to be stronger
0:11:03 > 0:11:05# I'm not giving in... #
0:11:06 > 0:11:09# This time We are going to be stronger
0:11:09 > 0:11:11# No, I'm not giving in. #
0:11:15 > 0:11:17They have given it everything.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21But have they scored high enough, giving them a chance of a medal?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23The waltz went really well, I think.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27We have got 11 points, I think, so it's a big jump.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I am really happy.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31# Don't leave me behind
0:11:31 > 0:11:35# Let me see the sunshine in... #
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Adriano and Ella have scored a massive personal best today.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41In their last competition, they scored five points,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44so that is a massive, massive increase.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48'We were, like, two points from the first,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51so we need to, hopefully, skate really well in the free dance.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55What an amazing start.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57If the couple do as well in their free dance tomorrow,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00it looks like Adriano won't be going anywhere.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Back at the home rink, two other skaters are also dreaming
0:12:07 > 0:12:12of a national title - best friends Charlie and Freddie.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Today, I'm going to be doing my speed tests,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17for the British Championships.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I actually don't know if I am going to do it or not.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22I'm nervous.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Testing them today is speed coach, Mandy.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31They have to do a two-lap race in 34 seconds.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33And they only do have this one go at doing it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36It is quite a big deal.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39We are going to go one by one. So Charlie is going first,
0:12:39 > 0:12:41then Freddie will go.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45You stand on the line. Two-lap race. Ready, steady, go.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Two laps, finish and then we will go and check the times, to see how
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- you have got on, OK? Yeah?- Yeah.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52Good.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59So, they need to skate twice around the ice in just 34 seconds.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03To make that time, they will have to average a super-quick 15mph.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Just before the race, my thoughts were, "Don't fall over.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10"Don't be nervous
0:13:10 > 0:13:13"and just skate as fast as you can."
0:13:13 > 0:13:14BANG!
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Go, Charlie!
0:13:21 > 0:13:22Let's go!
0:13:22 > 0:13:23One to go!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26While I am going round, I'm not really thinking about the time.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30I'm just thinking about making it under 34 seconds.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44I pushed as hard as I could, but I think...I could have gone faster.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Next one. Freddie.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49- STARTER:- Ready...
0:13:49 > 0:13:51BANG!
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Let's go, Freddie!
0:13:54 > 0:13:55Keep going!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Good boy!
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Let's go, Freddie!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08The times are being checked and verified.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13And the results are in.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Hi, guys, how was that, then?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Good.- Good? Yeah?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23To get to the British Championships, you needed a 34.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Charlie, you did a 28.72, so well done.
0:14:28 > 0:14:34And, Freddie, you did a 28.81, well done. OK?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36So that means you are both in the British.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37BOYS CHEER
0:14:40 > 0:14:41They've done it!
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Charlie and Freddie have qualified for the British Championships.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Celebration dance...
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I'm really excited about being in the British Championships.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58They didn't just get the time. They got well in the time.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00The difference between a 34 and a 28 is huge.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Well done, boys! Next stop, the British Championships.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Back in Sheffield,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13it's not all hard work for our ice stars.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Smile! Smile!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25It's fun, knowing that you are seeing everyone there and you get
0:15:25 > 0:15:29to meet all your friends from everywhere but, when the competition
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- starts, you have to really focus. - This is Ellie and Josh's last
0:15:32 > 0:15:35competition at Advanced Novice level.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Moving up to Juniors next year.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40It's going to be quite a big step for them.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43'It would be good if we could win. We just need to make sure'
0:15:43 > 0:15:47that we get down in the cantilever in less than six seconds.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54If you don't do it in under that time, you get marks taken off.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58In training, Jellie couldn't get out of their high-scoring lift in time.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01You took ages to grab her on the way back up.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02You were like, "Ooh, ooh!"
0:16:02 > 0:16:05The ice is being prepared for Jellie's performance,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07which is just minutes away.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09But it looks like there are still problems.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Three, four, five, six.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16It needs to be down before six. You need to count five and then get up.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- What are you counting in your head? - 1-1,000, 2-1,000...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23No, that is not proper counting.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25That little hand there, look.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Three, four, five, six.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29That's ages!
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Time's up, Jellie.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Six seconds or not,
0:16:33 > 0:16:35the ice is waiting for you.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Their rivals have already set the standard with their lifts,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44so Jellie can't afford to make any mistakes.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- ANNOUNCER:- Next to skate, from the National Ice Centre, Nottingham,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51is Ellie and Joshua.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07APPLAUSE
0:17:11 > 0:17:13'When I go into'
0:17:13 > 0:17:17the cantilever lift, I just hope that I can stay in my position
0:17:17 > 0:17:20and I can hold it long enough, without falling.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Three, four, five...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Down in less than six seconds!
0:17:36 > 0:17:39CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:17:39 > 0:17:42The scores are in and Jellie have scored
0:17:42 > 0:17:4739.94 - a new personal best.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I felt like our free dance went really well.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52We have a personal best
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- and it was at the British Championships.- That's all you can
0:17:56 > 0:17:59ask, really, that they put in their best performance of the season.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01They did that today.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03And in second place, from Nottingham,
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Ellie and Joshua!
0:18:04 > 0:18:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:06 > 0:18:10It's a podium finish for Jellie. A well-deserved second place.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Amazing work, guys!
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- JOSH:- We got a personal best, which is nice to have
0:18:18 > 0:18:22- as our last competition in this category.- Everybody smile!
0:18:22 > 0:18:23Josh, stop pushing me!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30They've shown the maturity it requires to move up to Juniors
0:18:30 > 0:18:31for next year.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Well done, you two! Congratulations!
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Bye!- Bye!- Well done!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40We came second, so that was really good.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44It was a really big achievement, to get it at the British Championships.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47I am really looking forward to moving up to junior next year.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53As Jellie head off home to bed, it's training time
0:18:53 > 0:18:55for Asiah and The Silhouettes.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Tonight is my last session, before the British.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I hope you like my dress.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09# Everybody likes to engage
0:19:09 > 0:19:12# Especially at the British Championships.#
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Bye!
0:19:16 > 0:19:19This is the main competition of the season for these girls.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23They've worked really hard all season for this competition,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- so it's a big one.- And this time, Asiah is a part of the team.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32I have got to up my game, so that the coaches know they have made
0:19:32 > 0:19:34the right decision, by picking me.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Just because they won the British last year doesn't mean they will
0:19:37 > 0:19:40win it this year. They shouldn't be over-confident.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42That is when the falls start to happen.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Five, six, seven eight...
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Heads down.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Down, up. Down, up.- Flick, yeah?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53So, the British is on Saturday.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57So, tonight's practice, it's really important you skate it like
0:19:57 > 0:20:01you are in competition, isn't it? OK, so each element we say today,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04we want you to lock it into your heads and remember it. Yeah?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07And...go! Come on!
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Stretch! Stretch!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Up!- In less than 72 hours,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16the girls go against the best in the country, to defend their title.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18So, their routine has to be perfect.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Now, in, Hannah! Up!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Come on, Asiah, up you get!
0:20:26 > 0:20:29But it doesn't take long before last year's win seems
0:20:29 > 0:20:34a million miles away. Coaches Esther and Lauren don't look impressed.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Come here now, quickly.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Girls, we have had a fall and we have had two breaks.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45That is already minuses. That is already dropping so many points.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49You have to hold on. We cannot fall over.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52We need to look where we're going.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57After tough words, the girls can't afford anymore slip-ups.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Line, girls.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01And look!
0:21:05 > 0:21:07It's not going as good as it can be going.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Cos we've had quite a few falls.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13If we did it like this, we would probably come last.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18It only takes one fall to knock a point off and another team to win.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21OK? And again, off we go.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26They want to win gold, they have to skate good and skate clean.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30The Silhouettes must work late into the night if they want to retain
0:21:30 > 0:21:31their title.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Every Silhouette dreams of one day becoming an Icicle.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40CHEERING
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Are you all excited?- Yeah!
0:21:43 > 0:21:47But, this morning, The Icicles are nowhere near the ice.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51We are all here to have fun, out of synchro,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54and just to chill out and not skate, for once!
0:21:54 > 0:21:57To work well on the ice, it's crucial the girls know each other's
0:21:57 > 0:22:01every move, so it's really important that new members quickly become
0:22:01 > 0:22:04part of The Icicles' family.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07We have brought Alex and Olivia along to have some bonding,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09as they are the new girls in the team.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14At training, coach Esther surprised both girls, with the perfect start
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- to their season.- We are going to have Alex skate the short programme
0:22:18 > 0:22:21and, Olivia, you are going to skate the free programme.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24You could feel quite nervous coming up into the team,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26but all the girls do welcome you.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Ready...- Let's go! Yay!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31It's quite nice to get away from all the training.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33..steady...
0:22:33 > 0:22:36It's nice to just take a break and do something fun with everyone.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38..let's bounce!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45It's really important to us that everyone feels welcome
0:22:45 > 0:22:47and that we can all feel like a family.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52They are like my sisters. Even if their boyfriend's, like,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55broke up with them, it doesn't matter to us.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59We are there for them, no matter what, cos that's what being a team
0:22:59 > 0:23:01is really all about for us.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02Oh!
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Olivia!
0:23:05 > 0:23:08It's nice to get to know the girls individually,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11because you don't really talk to them when you are skating.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12WHOOPING
0:23:12 > 0:23:14'I thought it might be a bit intimidating,'
0:23:14 > 0:23:18since I'm the youngest. I was a bit worried they'd all be so much older
0:23:18 > 0:23:20and different, but I have just got on with them all.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25- It's been nice to just mess about. - Let's hope all that bouncing
0:23:25 > 0:23:28has done the trick and the new Icicles team are just as tight
0:23:28 > 0:23:29as the old one.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32# These wings are made to fly. #
0:23:35 > 0:23:36SHE GIGGLES
0:23:43 > 0:23:45It's crunch time in Sheffield
0:23:45 > 0:23:47and Ella and Adriano prepare
0:23:47 > 0:23:50for the most important skate of their career.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54With Adriano's family deciding he will only stay in the UK
0:23:54 > 0:23:56if they win,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00they smashed a new personal best in their waltz yesterday.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04We did double our score of last time, so it went well.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I feel really happy with how it went.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Now, just one more skate stands between them and the title
0:24:11 > 0:24:13of British champions.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16It will be what will be. I am proud of them,
0:24:16 > 0:24:20whatever they have done, you know. So...fingers crossed.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- ANNOUNCER:- From the National Ice Centre, Nottingham,
0:24:24 > 0:24:26it's Ella and Adriano.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44# Nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
0:24:44 > 0:24:46# I can see through them
0:24:46 > 0:24:49# I can see through them
0:24:49 > 0:24:54# I am drawing pictures I'm evading
0:24:54 > 0:24:58# I will not use them I will not use them
0:24:58 > 0:25:04# Cos I want to feel deep in the light
0:25:04 > 0:25:08# Beside you, beside you... #
0:25:08 > 0:25:12I think I was putting the pressure on myself, just because I knew
0:25:12 > 0:25:15we needed to do well, otherwise Adriano would go.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19APPLAUSE
0:25:19 > 0:25:23# Nothing's gonna hurt me with my eyes shut
0:25:23 > 0:25:25# I can see through them
0:25:25 > 0:25:28# I can see through them
0:25:28 > 0:25:33# And I am drawing pictures I'm evading... #
0:25:33 > 0:25:36Our first turn was always going really, really well.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38We were in sync and our elbow was above our shoulder.
0:25:41 > 0:25:47But then, when it came to the second one, we crashed into each other
0:25:47 > 0:25:51and he pushed my shoulder the wrong way and my foot carried on going.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55So I twisted my ankle and it really hurt.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58APPLAUSE
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Oh, she's really upset, isn't she?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13'I didn't really know if Adriano was going to go home or not,
0:26:13 > 0:26:14'but his face'
0:26:14 > 0:26:19was, kind of, really disappointed. I knew it wasn't a positive thing,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22so I was a bit worried.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32SOBBING
0:26:32 > 0:26:34'I knew that'
0:26:34 > 0:26:35we weren't going to win.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38When we heard our scores,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40it wasn't that good.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44'Overall, we were fourth,'
0:26:44 > 0:26:49and, in the end, we bumped together. So, we lost those marks there
0:26:49 > 0:26:52and, for that, we lost the third place.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59I think we are leaving after
0:26:59 > 0:27:00and go to Rome.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03She will understand why we are leaving.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07It must have been really hard for Adriano, but it just wasn't
0:27:07 > 0:27:11the right thing for his family, so he had to go home.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16'For us, it is, kind of, end of an era.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17'She will pick herself up.'
0:27:17 > 0:27:20She will get through it and we will see what's round the corner.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I now know this is what I want to do,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33so I am going to try really hard to try and find another partner.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45Ella bounces back...
0:27:45 > 0:27:48I really am very proud of her.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51..the Silhouettes take on their biggest rivals,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54in a fight to be crowned British champions.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- ANNOUNCER: - And the scores for Silhouettes...
0:27:57 > 0:28:01..and ice hockey brothers Aren and Rais travel 2,000 miles
0:28:01 > 0:28:03for the trip of a lifetime.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I've seen that much snow in movies before,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08but I've never seen it in real life.
