0:00:02 > 0:00:03Previously on Ice Stars...

0:00:04 > 0:00:06She said it was touch and go,

0:00:06 > 0:00:08but they have decided to put you in the skate team.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Yay! I am happy!

0:00:18 > 0:00:21She's really upset, isn't she?

0:00:21 > 0:00:24His face was kind of really disappointed.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26I knew it was not a positive thing.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Coming up, Aren heads to Quebec with the England team

0:00:54 > 0:00:57for the biggest match of his career.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00You definitely want to not let your country down.

0:01:03 > 0:01:06That is exactly what I mean.

0:01:06 > 0:01:10Asiyah and her team battle it out at the British Championships.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16And Ella decides there is life on the ice after Adriano.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20I am going to use the opportunity with Adriano to find a new partner.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31For some ice sports, you need elegance.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34For others, poise.

0:01:36 > 0:01:41But there is one that requires lots and lots of brute force.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Ice hockey is one of the fastest games.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51If you have the puck, anyone can come and take you out.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58Aren and his big brother Rais like nothing more

0:01:58 > 0:01:59than clashing on the ice.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02If he is near me and I've got the puck,

0:02:02 > 0:02:04I know that he will definitely hit me!

0:02:07 > 0:02:10I tell you, I don't go easy on him.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11What is that?!

0:02:11 > 0:02:16He's just tough on me because he knows that if he goes

0:02:16 > 0:02:18easy on me, it won't make me better.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Make sure you follow and look up, yeah?

0:02:22 > 0:02:24That was nice.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Rais's tough love must have done some good...

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Go for that.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33- Yeah?- ..because Aren has been selected for the England team.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37He will travel 2,000 miles to Quebec in Canada for an incredible

0:02:37 > 0:02:38ice-hockey experience.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43We are going out to Quebec to play in the biggest tournament for my

0:02:43 > 0:02:45age group in the world.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47There will be international teams

0:02:47 > 0:02:49such as Hong Kong and Japan -

0:02:49 > 0:02:51it'll be really tough competition.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Although it is Aren who will be playing in the tournament...

0:02:59 > 0:03:01..his mum and dad are turning the trip

0:03:01 > 0:03:03into their annual family holiday.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05It's going to be really cold.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Getting kit for someone Rais's size

0:03:08 > 0:03:10is so much cheaper in Canada that the money saved

0:03:10 > 0:03:13goes towards the cost of the holiday.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Being really tall in Britain,

0:03:16 > 0:03:18equipment is not the easiest thing to get.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20In Canada, they have got to have larger sizes

0:03:20 > 0:03:23because there are so much more people that play it,

0:03:23 > 0:03:27so it'll be cool to go to the shop and see my size in shorts or skates.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30But Rais isn't just going for the shopping.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34He has always wanted to experience a different sort of ice hockey,

0:03:34 > 0:03:35one he can't do back in the UK.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Are you looking forward to going on pond hockey?

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Yes, I'm looking forward to it. I've never done it before,

0:03:42 > 0:03:45and I hear it is a really good experience to do.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49Pond hockey is, every basketball court at the end of the road

0:03:49 > 0:03:51gets frozen over by parents,

0:03:51 > 0:03:52they put boards around and nets out.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Just going back to the way hockey was originally played,

0:03:56 > 0:03:58in the elements.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Shall I go and tell Mum that we're done?

0:04:02 > 0:04:03- Yeah, sure.- All right.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07While the boys finish packing for their adventure...

0:04:10 > 0:04:12..across town Ella is thinking about her future

0:04:12 > 0:04:15after her split from partner Adriano.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Flour, egg, yes.

0:04:20 > 0:04:21Flour, egg, breadcrumbs.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25How do you feel now it's all a bit official?

0:04:25 > 0:04:30I'm still a bit upset, but... it happens.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Yeah, I'm upset, too.

0:04:33 > 0:04:39When I found out that Adriano was leaving, I was upset.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42It was obviously not a nice thing to hear,

0:04:42 > 0:04:47that your partner was going back to his country.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Right, what are we going to do, then?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52We need to get back on the ice in the morning, yeah?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55I think you need to see everybody.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59I'm going to carry on and keep positive.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02Now we can think about new things.

0:05:04 > 0:05:05I obviously wasn't just going to quit,

0:05:05 > 0:05:08because I really like doing ice dance.

0:05:08 > 0:05:13I'm going to use the opportunity with Adriano to find a new partner.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17At the end of the day, Adriano came from nowhere, didn't he?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20So you never know what might happen.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24It's absolutely not the end for Ella in terms of finding a partner.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26Hopefully someone will come along soon.

0:05:28 > 0:05:29What do you think, Millie,

0:05:29 > 0:05:33- do you think she makes good chicken nuggets?- Mm-hm.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38In the world of ice dance, girls outnumber boys ten to one.

0:05:41 > 0:05:46Something that Ella and her friend Lauren know all too well.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48You see all these people that do have partners,

0:05:48 > 0:05:51it feels really cruel sometimes.

0:05:51 > 0:05:55In six years of ice dancing, Lauren has never had a long-term partner.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59Obviously, I've been skating on my own for a long time.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02There's lots of solo girls in ice dance and when we all get together,

0:06:02 > 0:06:04we all have a bit of a joke,

0:06:04 > 0:06:07"You two girls should skate together,"

0:06:07 > 0:06:10but in reality it wouldn't really work.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12If you had two girls,

0:06:12 > 0:06:15you couldn't connect as much because you couldn't do the lifts,

0:06:15 > 0:06:18because weight-wise it would be a little bit difficult.

0:06:18 > 0:06:22And the skating styles would be too similar with the same gender,

0:06:22 > 0:06:24so it would look more like synchronised skating

0:06:24 > 0:06:25rather than dancing.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28So even though it would solve the problem of girls not having any

0:06:28 > 0:06:32partners, I feel like the sport is not at that point yet

0:06:32 > 0:06:34to make such a big decision.

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Last season,

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Lauren and her friend Kershia both searched for partners,

0:06:40 > 0:06:43but didn't find anyone who was right.

0:06:43 > 0:06:45They are just not the right age and level

0:06:45 > 0:06:47and it's not really going to happen.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51This season, Kershia has decided to go back to figure skating,

0:06:51 > 0:06:54which is solo, but you need to be able to do jumps.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Lauren just wants to dance.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59How's your skating going, then?

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Yeah, really good.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05I've got a partner tryout thingy in a couple of weeks, so...

0:07:05 > 0:07:07I've been to them before.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10All of the girls, there's 20 girls, we get on the ice,

0:07:10 > 0:07:12and there's about three boys.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14We have to go there, try really hard,

0:07:14 > 0:07:16when we're trying out with them,

0:07:16 > 0:07:18and then we just have to sit back

0:07:18 > 0:07:21and wait for them to either pick us or not. Like...

0:07:21 > 0:07:24I tried out with this boy and the coaches were like, "Yeah,

0:07:24 > 0:07:27"you two match really well," and Sophie had to go, "Excuse me,

0:07:27 > 0:07:29"how old is he?" "12."

0:07:29 > 0:07:31"She's 16, so that's not going to work!"

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Lauren works so hard.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40As soon as she finds the right person, she'll excel so much.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42I'm really nervous about the partner-search event,

0:07:42 > 0:07:44because I have to try and showcase

0:07:44 > 0:07:47what I can do in just a short amount of time.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Having a partner, I am so determined to get that,

0:07:50 > 0:07:52that is my main end goal.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06After 20 hours in the air and on the road,

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Aren and the England team finally arrive in Quebec.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16Rais and his parents head for a hotel.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21But the hockey team are all staying with host families.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22Aren and his team-mate Logan

0:08:22 > 0:08:26have been billeted together with 12-year-old Joel's family.

0:08:26 > 0:08:31- JOEL:- This is not...it's not a lot of snow.

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Last time we went to minus 20.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37It's better than England, just rain.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Right now, it would be raining.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44'The first morning when I woke up, it was just white everywhere.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46'I have seen that much snow on movies before,

0:08:46 > 0:08:48'but never seen it in real life.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51'Obviously, we went over there to play hockey,

0:08:51 > 0:08:56'but also to experience, like, Canadians' way of life.'

0:08:56 > 0:08:57Oh, you do it like that!

0:08:59 > 0:09:04They ended up just giving me a jug with a bag of milk in,

0:09:04 > 0:09:09and I was confused, like, "What is this?"

0:09:09 > 0:09:11I've never seen milk in a bag before.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17It's also an early morning start for big brother Rais,

0:09:17 > 0:09:19who can't wait to get outside.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21For years he's dreamed of playing pond hockey.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40It's my first time playing outside.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42It's really good, I like it.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46It's really cold, though, it's, like, minus 11.

0:09:46 > 0:09:51It's the way hockey was originally done, in the elements.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Over here, it's the norm.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Wind rushing into your face, with snow.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04If I could have stayed out all day, I would have stayed out all day.

0:10:05 > 0:10:07This is our boys' dream come true, this is.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10Amazing. To them, it's like winning the Lottery.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12- It is.- It is, it's amazing.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Back in Nottingham, the rink is buzzing.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35It's the British Synchro Championships.

0:10:40 > 0:10:45Really fun, because you get to see loads of different synchro teams.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49It's amazing, the rink is so big.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50Everyone's really competitive.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53The older team, the Icicles aren't competing yet.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57Today is all about the younger team, the Silhouettes.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Chasse, chasse, hold.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Chasse, chasse... - Yeah, just chasse, chasse.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06And their newest skater Asiyah

0:11:06 > 0:11:10hopes she can help them defend the title they won last year.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13Being in, like, the proper team, it's been quite hard

0:11:13 > 0:11:16and challenging, because I've got to stand out.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18Come on, Asiyah, up you get!

0:11:25 > 0:11:28It feels really nerve-racking, just thinking about going on the ice.

0:11:28 > 0:11:326, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34Still missing four.

0:11:34 > 0:11:35For me, it was really important

0:11:35 > 0:11:38to, like, be part of the team that defended the title.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Three, two, one and back.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Four, three, two, one...

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Of course it will be more pressure,

0:11:48 > 0:11:51because they want to keep in first place,

0:11:51 > 0:11:54but there's some really good teams that are quite close to them in

0:11:54 > 0:11:55competitions.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Oh, dear.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Winning the British Championships may not be as straightforward

0:12:00 > 0:12:02as it was last year.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05Meet the Whizz Kids,

0:12:05 > 0:12:07the Silhouettes' biggest rivals.

0:12:07 > 0:12:09We do lots of tricky things in the routine,

0:12:09 > 0:12:12like wheels and circles and moves.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15We've been training every week, just to make sure it's perfect.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17And low.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20Pull the faces.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26When we saw, like, Whizz Kids, they looked really confident,

0:12:26 > 0:12:28and, like, they knew they were going to beat us.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30We're going to come first.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33I think, yes, we MIGHT come first.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35We ARE going to come first!

0:12:37 > 0:12:41They're an up-and-coming team that looked absolutely great,

0:12:41 > 0:12:44so the girls know they have to skate good,

0:12:44 > 0:12:46because it's a close competition between those two.

0:12:46 > 0:12:48With so much at stake,

0:12:48 > 0:12:51some of the Icicles have come to offer their support.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53We wanted to wish you some good luck,

0:12:53 > 0:12:56and remember to perform and smile,

0:12:56 > 0:12:59and remember you're performing to a big arena, so keep your head up,

0:12:59 > 0:13:01and be careful of your feet.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04It's your rink, so own it.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06ALL: Go...Silhouettes!

0:13:08 > 0:13:10WHOOPING

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Good luck!

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Every year, ice dancers looking for partners

0:13:20 > 0:13:22can go along for a day of tryouts.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24Are you nervous, Lauren?

0:13:24 > 0:13:28Yeah. I was trying not to think about it.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29Lauren has been before,

0:13:29 > 0:13:33but she's hoping that this year there may be some newcomers.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37I hope that there's lots of different boys and less girls,

0:13:37 > 0:13:40cos that just makes my job a lot easier.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Lauren gets to the rink early,

0:13:45 > 0:13:48and it looks like someone else has had the same idea.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50It's Ella! Ella's here!

0:13:50 > 0:13:53I didn't even recognise it was her because I never see her in a skirt.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Come here!

0:13:55 > 0:13:57How are you?

0:13:57 > 0:13:58Ready, then?

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Yeah! No?

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Come on, then, pal.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07I knew I wanted a partner, so if I was going to get a new partner,

0:14:07 > 0:14:11I needed to put myself out there, so that's why I went to the tryouts.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16With more and more girls arriving by the minute,

0:14:16 > 0:14:20Lauren and Ella are going to have to fight to get noticed.

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Good morning, skaters.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26This is not a guarantee of getting a partner.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28There were loads and loads of girls

0:14:28 > 0:14:31and there was about five or six boys.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33When you actually say it like that,

0:14:33 > 0:14:35you don't realise how crazy the numbers are.

0:14:35 > 0:14:38Let's just get on with it.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Push, chasse, hold, and the other way.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44Push, chasse, hold.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47OK. Then we'll just do the same kind of conveyor belt, OK?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50With over 30 girls now in the session,

0:14:50 > 0:14:53there just don't seem enough boys to go around.

0:14:53 > 0:14:59Chasse, left, right, chasse, right.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Next batch of ladies in.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04- LAUREN:- The atmosphere is really tense.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Everyone's trying to judge what everyone's like.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10You have to just push forward if you want to get a go.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13I wouldn't be shy, ladies,

0:15:13 > 0:15:16cos you may not get much opportunity to skate with these guys.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21At the beginning of the session, I was a bit shy.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23Go ahead.

0:15:23 > 0:15:28It was so soon after Adriano went back home to Italy.

0:15:28 > 0:15:32Lauren was pushing me to the front a bit more.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35I found it really nice that she was trying to help me.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Give your very, very best effort when you're on with your boy.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51When we got onto the ice, I got a bit more confident.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Double left, inside.

0:15:54 > 0:15:55Double right.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00I think the tryout was a good way

0:16:00 > 0:16:04for me to start trying to find a partner.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06And I'm really glad I went.

0:16:06 > 0:16:11Don't be shy, there are boys here. Grab a boy, grab a boy.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14In the end, I just started shouting, I was like, "Hey,

0:16:14 > 0:16:15"I'm going to go with you now."

0:16:15 > 0:16:17So you just have to put yourself forward.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24Lauren performs beautifully.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26But she's met all these boys before,

0:16:26 > 0:16:29so she knows they're not quite right for her.

0:16:29 > 0:16:30ALL: Thank you.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Skated actually OK,

0:16:38 > 0:16:41but I don't think anything's going to come out of it.

0:16:41 > 0:16:43I don't know what keeps me going.

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Maybe just the hope that it might actually happen,

0:16:46 > 0:16:48but I'm getting old now!

0:16:53 > 0:16:55In Quebec, Aren is about to take on a team

0:16:55 > 0:16:59who are way more experienced than him.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02OK.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05On a rink that feels more like a theme park.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08It was a rink in the middle of a shopping mall.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10Then there was a massive roller-coaster

0:17:10 > 0:17:14at the top of the mall, and a ferris wheel.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17You never get something like that in England.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22As Aren and the team start to warm up...

0:17:24 > 0:17:26..Rais grabs his chance to kit up.

0:17:28 > 0:17:29Time to shop.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36This shop is absolutely huge.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40I heard the shops were big over there,

0:17:40 > 0:17:42but I wasn't expecting that big.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45It's like a warehouse, almost, just full of hockey kit.

0:17:45 > 0:17:49There had to be a whole wall full of hockey gloves,

0:17:49 > 0:17:53at least five aisles, I think, of sticks, different sizes.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55- For starters, these are way too small.- Small.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57They're in the wrong bit.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01They had walls of skates, it was insane, they had everything.

0:18:03 > 0:18:07This is a good skate for him because that's not a large skate,

0:18:07 > 0:18:09the skate is pretty close to the feet.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12So for him, that's a good choice.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15They're way more expensive in England.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17You're just picking and choosing.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19The prices were really good as well.

0:18:19 > 0:18:2139.

0:18:21 > 0:18:22So 20 quid?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25Yeah. £70 at home.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29I think I'm 6'4, nearly 6'5 now.

0:18:29 > 0:18:32At home, I could not find any shorts that fit me.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34Yeah, they're the right size.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37So, for me it was my chance to get the equipment I needed,

0:18:37 > 0:18:40in the right sizes that fit me.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43I could have spent maybe four or five hours in that shop.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47But time is running out for Aren,

0:18:47 > 0:18:52who is warming up for the performance of his life.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55He's got a group stage to get through before moving on to

0:18:55 > 0:18:59knockout rounds. His first match is against the Colorado Avalanche,

0:18:59 > 0:19:02who won the tournament two years ago.

0:19:02 > 0:19:03They will be very skilful,

0:19:03 > 0:19:09and we need to be on our A game to have a good game and beat them.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13England are going to have to play better than ever before.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17If someone told you that England were going to beat that team,

0:19:17 > 0:19:19they would probably laugh in your face.

0:19:19 > 0:19:23This is for real, it's going to be a tough game.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26The guys have told you what they want to do,

0:19:26 > 0:19:28they're going to be hard on you all the time.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37You definitely want to not let your country down.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41It's a real, real long way to come and not try 110%, OK?

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Because you're never going to get this time back.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46No good coming off the end of each game saying,

0:19:46 > 0:19:49"I could have done this," or, "I should have tried harder at that."

0:19:49 > 0:19:50- Cos you won't be able to do it. - Put energy into it.

0:19:50 > 0:19:52Good, fast changes.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55And let's enjoy the game, guys.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57ALL YELL

0:20:00 > 0:20:02I saw that they were a big, strong,

0:20:02 > 0:20:05fast team. But none of us were scared of them.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07We were all up for the challenge.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14Straight away we just went into their zone.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16Aren's number 14.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21And only seconds into the game, he scores.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25I saw that we had a few players in front of the net,

0:20:25 > 0:20:27screening the goalie's view.

0:20:27 > 0:20:32So I knew that I needed to shoot straightaway, so I just shot it.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34He just took a one-time slap shot.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Like, I taught it before he went.

0:20:36 > 0:20:41His first England goal, 15 seconds into his first proper England game.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44I was really proud of him, I thought it was really good.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49INDISTINCT

0:20:53 > 0:20:56A good team just doesn't give up.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59So we knew that they were just going to come straight back at us strong.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09At the start of the second period, the score is still 1-0.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12But then the Colorado Avalanche begin their comeback.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19We were playing well, but so were they.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25And, um, they scored.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29With the scores tied, England fight to claw back their lead.

0:21:31 > 0:21:32We all went full out.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36We wanted to show them that England aren't a bad country at ice hockey.

0:21:40 > 0:21:41Minutes later...

0:21:44 > 0:21:46..and England score again.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53The Colorado Avalanche pull together and push England back.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56But then England surge forward...

0:21:57 > 0:21:59..and get a third goal.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01Can they hold on?

0:22:05 > 0:22:07There are just seconds left.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13KLAXON Yes!

0:22:13 > 0:22:14They've done it!

0:22:17 > 0:22:21Them people, they should absolutely...

0:22:21 > 0:22:23they should have hammered us.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26I was extremely proud of Aren and the team.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28They were just playing so well together.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33We went out there and made England proud.

0:22:33 > 0:22:35What a start to the tournament.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39England went on to win another six games and draw two.

0:22:39 > 0:22:40Not bad, Aren.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46To win away feels fantastic.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53To lose at home would be a disaster for the Silhouettes.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59But before any skating, there's the little issue of Asiyah's eyelids.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05Everyone's fanning me because my eye make-up has to dry.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10Everyone looks really different with make-up on their eyes.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12It's really, like, wet.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15And if you open it, you're going to smudge it.

0:23:15 > 0:23:20Shimmering and smudge-free, the girls' look may now be perfect...

0:23:22 > 0:23:24..but in their final training session

0:23:24 > 0:23:27their performance is far from it.

0:23:27 > 0:23:28We cannot fall over.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30We need to look where we're going.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33If we did it like this, we'd probably come last.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36It only takes one fall to knock a point off

0:23:36 > 0:23:38and another team to win.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41It's constant falling with this team.

0:23:41 > 0:23:43And we just really need to try and stay on their feet.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49I hope that none of us fall or get the steps wrong,

0:23:49 > 0:23:51because they can cost us a lot of points.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55We can do this. We just need to really go out there,

0:23:55 > 0:23:56skate as good as we can.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59You've just got to concentrate, OK?

0:23:59 > 0:24:01It only takes one person to do the wrong steps

0:24:01 > 0:24:03for someone to be tripped up.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07While the girls try to calm their nerves, their biggest rivals,

0:24:07 > 0:24:10the Whizz Kids, finish their routine to a massive applause.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12LOUD APPLAUSE

0:24:13 > 0:24:15The Silhouettes don't know it yet,

0:24:15 > 0:24:18but the Whizz Kids have equalled their winning score from last year.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22I think we've got it this time, haven't we, girls?

0:24:22 > 0:24:24- ALL: Yes. - Are you sure?

0:24:24 > 0:24:26- ALL: Yes! - Shall we do a chant?- ALL: Yes!

0:24:26 > 0:24:30ALL: One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four!

0:24:30 > 0:24:32One, two, go, Silhouettes! Whooo!

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Right, line up.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41Just one good clean skate stands between them and the trophy.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49They'll need over 28 points to win.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52- ASIYAH:- I saw the crowd watching...

0:24:52 > 0:24:54and I just felt really scared.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56- You OK?- Yeah.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58You can do it.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Go, Silhouettes!

0:25:01 > 0:25:02- Come on! - WHOOPING

0:25:05 > 0:25:07Come on, girls!

0:25:07 > 0:25:14Please welcome from Nottingham, the Silhouettes.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18Stay on your feet today.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Oh, no. - Disaster strikes.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28That is exactly what I mean.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33With the falls in training and then the falls in the lead-on,

0:25:33 > 0:25:36a win for the team now seems impossible.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41When both of the people fell, I felt really, like, nervous.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44I just got really scared.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Everyone was thinking, we've just got to concentrate now.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58I was trying to concentrate really, really hard.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11I tried to smile through the whole thing

0:26:11 > 0:26:15because it could have got us extra points.

0:26:29 > 0:26:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Yes! They've smashed it.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43No falls, but have they done enough to beat the Whizz Kids?

0:26:43 > 0:26:47They need to get more than 28 points to lift the trophy.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50And the scores for Silhouettes,

0:26:50 > 0:26:51total segment score...

0:26:54 > 0:26:57- ..35 points. - SCREAMING

0:26:58 > 0:27:00They've done it!

0:27:04 > 0:27:07I'm super happy because Silhouettes just won! Whoo!

0:27:07 > 0:27:09We're British champions again

0:27:09 > 0:27:13and we held our title, and I feel really, really happy.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18WHOOPING

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Gold - so that means we won first place.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Absolutely amazing that Silhouettes have come first.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35I'm so happy and I'm so proud of them.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Next time on Ice Stars...

0:27:46 > 0:27:50Lauren and Ella brush shoulders with the stars.

0:27:50 > 0:27:51- I'm Lauren.- Nice to meet you.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53I really like your costumes.

0:27:53 > 0:27:57Izzy fights for a full-time place on the Olympic squad.

0:27:57 > 0:28:01She needs the grit and determination to make sure she gets a good result.

0:28:01 > 0:28:04And when our ice stars give up skating for baking,

0:28:04 > 0:28:06it gets messy in the kitchen.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Urgh, it's lumpy.

0:28:08 > 0:28:10We're hockey players. We don't do baking.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12I don't do baking.
