0:00:06 > 0:00:10Aimie has asthma and she struggles with her breathing regularly.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13It gets worse when she skates and panics.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14It scared me a little.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Like, I was a bit worried because I didn't know what that meant
0:00:17 > 0:00:18for my skating career.
0:00:19 > 0:00:24Today I'm going to be doing my speed test for the British Championships.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26BANG
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Go, Charlie!
0:00:29 > 0:00:33- Ready for the British?- Yay!- Yeah?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Josh has put nine years of his life into this.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Kind of just feels surreal when you find out that you've finally won.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Don't really feel like it's happened.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44I'll have to wait until it sinks in a bit.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16The Icicles get fired up as they take on their rivals in Salzburg.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21We try to psych out everyone. I don't care who they are!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And disaster strikes for Charlie.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I have just done my worst-ever race.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38So it's 12.30 at night and we're just on our way to Salzburg.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41I can imagine most of the girls won't have slept.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42They're probably feeling quite tired.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46This season the Icicles have been working harder than ever,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49leading up to their international competition in Salzburg.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Down in the knees, drive!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Strong holds!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Salzburg is one of the biggest international competitions ever.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Teams from all over the world come just to compete.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Our main aim is probably to come top ten and to beat our rivals,
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Switzerland and France.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Getting top ten means beating countries where skating is like a
0:02:10 > 0:02:15national sport, so the Icicles need to get more points than ever before.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19We're making you do more difficult things this time.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Because you need the points.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- # Everywhere we go - Everywhere we go
0:02:24 > 0:02:27# People always ask us... #
0:02:27 > 0:02:30We've put in so many hours on the ice, we're going to smash it.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32We're going!
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Who's excited?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- ALL:- Yeah!
0:02:37 > 0:02:41So I know it's really late in the night and you're tired, erm,
0:02:41 > 0:02:45but before you know it we'll be in Austria and skating.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Salzburg, here we come!
0:02:47 > 0:02:48THEY CHEER
0:02:48 > 0:02:54The Icicles are travelling nearly 1,000 miles to Salzburg in Austria.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57They'll compete against 19 other teams from across the world
0:02:57 > 0:02:58in the Mozart Cup.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Going to fly!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Ready?
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Ready, steady,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- ALL:- Three, two, one...
0:03:09 > 0:03:12CAMERA CLICKS
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I think the weather does make us a bit happier,
0:03:14 > 0:03:15because we don't normally get snow, do we?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- I can see my breath, like...- Yeah.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Right, face forward, let's take a nice forwards one now.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Salzburg is amazing, it's so beautiful, it's all snowy.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I think everyone's just really pumped for the competition.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32For one Icicle, everything is new.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34It's my first international with the Icicles.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38We're going to have Alex skate the short programme.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39APPLAUSE
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Alex was selected to skate after this season's try-outs.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I felt, like, quite proud that I'd managed to get in.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50It's really good being away with everybody and getting to know
0:03:50 > 0:03:51the girls more.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57After months of practice, the competition is only one sleep away.
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Excited for tomorrow?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Just...I'm a bit too tired right now to be excited!
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Need a good sleep tonight, before the long tomorrow.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I think our long programme's quite strong, isn't it?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Yeah, it is really strong. It's fast as well.- Yeah.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I think people feel intimidated by the other teams.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I know, you just need to, like, perform like you're the best there.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- I'm so tired.- Same. - I kind of need to, like, re-tan.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Don't think I should redo mine. - I don't know how tanned I am.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Yours looks really even.- Mine?- Yeah. - I'll see you guys in the morning.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- ALL:- Bye!
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Just want to sleep.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37All the way back in Nottingham, Charlie and Freddie have
0:04:37 > 0:04:41ditched their ice-hockey pads for a streamlined catsuit.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46With both skaters getting impressive times during trials...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48So, well done. Well done.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53..they must now show the rest of Great Britain what they've got.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Today is Charlie's first-ever national competition as
0:04:56 > 0:04:57a speed skater.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Well, I've just woken up.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03I'm just getting ready for the British Championships.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06And the boys are in need of some serious speed.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Getting into the British for, like, the first time
0:05:13 > 0:05:15is just, like, the biggest thing ever.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19He's up against the top speed skaters in Britain and that
0:05:19 > 0:05:21includes best pal Freddie.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Because we're best friends,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30we don't mess around on the ice, we're really competitive.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33But I do feel proud of just making it through and I'm really
0:05:33 > 0:05:35excited that I'm going to it.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40And coach Mandy is hoping that Charlie is ready for the challenge.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43For a first British Championships it's a real big learning curve.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47- You're on third or fourth race, yeah?- Yeah.- OK, get that?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50So get your skates on and get yourself ready, OK?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54His first race of the day is the 500m heat.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Just before the race my thoughts were, don't fall over,
0:05:57 > 0:06:02don't be nervous and just skate as fast as you can.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Especially cos I'm going against people from all over the country.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Up against tough competition,
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Charlie heads to the start line, but then it all begins to go wrong.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17The person that has the gun, erm, says to the line, "Ready"...
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Ready.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21..then she fires the gun and then we all do a two-lap race.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23BANG
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Oh, Charlie.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Charlie! You're off.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Charlie's off.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36You're off, darling, you got two false starts.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Why was he given for the first one? - The skate was over the line.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43How silly.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Charlie's first race of the day and he's been disqualified,
0:06:47 > 0:06:48after a false start.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Charlie probably got his false starts because he's a hockey skater
0:06:51 > 0:06:55so he's used to quick reactions and moving first, innit?
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I have just done my worst-ever race.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I've just been disqualified because I got two false starts,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04and if you get two false starts you're out of the race.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Didn't even get to skate.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I'm really annoyed with myself!
0:07:09 > 0:07:10What did we say?
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Every time in training do I say, "Stand still on the line"?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18You know what you did?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21So the first going to the line you had your foot over the line,
0:07:21 > 0:07:24which is classed as a false start, which he said to you.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28You were the fastest person in that race!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30So you didn't need to do a false start.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33But never mind, at least you're smiling. Yeah? Don't do that again.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- I won't!- Good!
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I've learned my lesson and I know not to do it again!
0:07:39 > 0:07:42When it happens the once, they learn from it,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44and I think he will learn from it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48And with a whole day of racing ahead,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Charlie needs to learn quickly.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02The higher in the race you come, the more points you win.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04At the end of the competition,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07the skater with the most points wins the gold medal.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14First, Charlie needs to battle it out with best friend, Freddie.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25This season, Kloe and Josh have been relentlessly training
0:08:25 > 0:08:26to perfect their routines.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31But today, it's time to chillax.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Christmas is approaching and they are hitting the festive market.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I like everything.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Look at that.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42That looks nice.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44We've come to the Christmas market and we're just going
0:08:44 > 0:08:45to have a bit of a look around.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48But we don't really have a lot of time usually,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51so it's really nice not thinking about skating or anything.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54How good does that work?
0:08:54 > 0:08:55That looks good.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56I could skate in this.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Look at that, Kloe.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- A whole new look.- Do you like it? - You look fantastic, honestly.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02Thank you.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Look at that.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05SHE LAUGHS
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Take it off.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09MUSIC: History by One Direction
0:09:09 > 0:09:14# You and me got a whole lot of history... #
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Is it good?- It is nice.- Is it hot?
0:09:17 > 0:09:18No, it's not too hot, actually.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22The moment these two met, they began to share a dream.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Do you remember when we used to, like, always talk about,
0:09:24 > 0:09:26"Oh, it would be so good if we went to the Olympics together."
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- And, like, the Olympics is only, like, three years away now.- I know.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33It seems like it was so long ago and now it's so close.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35And when we first started talking about that,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37we couldn't even do something like a double axle, and now we're doing,
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- double axle triples, like... - I know. I hope we get to go.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- We'll go, one day.- Yeah.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Even if we just go and watch, we'll go to the Olympics one day.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- No, we're going to skate! - Ha, going to skate!
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Can you believe it's been four years?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Since you first came over?- No.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I remember warming up on the ice and the whole session
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I was planning what I was going to ask you.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Kloe, you never used to say anything.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58No, we'd try and talk to you...
0:09:58 > 0:10:00No, but you'd always understand, like, what I would say.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- You were just a bit shy.- I know.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03- A bit?- I'd be a bit shy, to be honest,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- if I moved to a different country. - I know.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Josh is now British champion,
0:10:08 > 0:10:12and has qualified for the biggest competition of his career so far.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16In just a few days, he'll head to Kloe's home country, Hungary,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19to compete for the title of Junior World Champion.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Had you feel about going to Junior Worlds?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I think, for me, I just want to skate good.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Like, you shouldn't go there to get a certain score.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I think you should just go there to skate. And it's in Hungary.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31And it's in Hungary as well.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33I don't know, I think you should come and watch anyway.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- I think you should just come.- Yeah. - You need to come and support me.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37I've got to have my Klo-bone out there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Having not qualified, Kloe won't be joining Josh this year,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43but that isn't going to stop her cheering on her bestie and
0:10:43 > 0:10:45chasing their Olympic dream.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51Back at the rink,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54it's Charlie's biggest competition ever.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59And he needs all the support he can get.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03A bad start to the British competition isn't going
0:11:03 > 0:11:04to hold Charlie back.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I'm not going to false start.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10That's the plan.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Charlie's next race is the 222,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14which is a sprint race.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17So, he needs a real good start in this,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19so it's going to be a good tester.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22And, hopefully, he'll stand still on the line.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Charlie and Freddie have both made the final of the 222 metre race
0:11:27 > 0:11:30and will be on the start line together.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33What is really, really good is that they are all friends, so on the
0:11:33 > 0:11:37ice they compete against each other and it means the world to them.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42This distance is two laps and it's my favourite distance.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43No false starts.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57I think that the most fun bit about racing together is that,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00even though were best friends off the ice, we've still got to be
0:12:00 > 0:12:03the most competitive we are against each other.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Lane two, Charlie.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10He's, literally, Speedy Gonzales.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Yeah.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Lane three, Freddie.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21Yeah, like, when we're in the same race, even though he's like
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Speedy Gonzales, it's still fun to try and overtake him.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Charlie says he's going nowhere near the start line this time.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Well, I just spoke to him and I said, "You're six foot off it!"
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Go, go, go, go, go! Keep going!
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Go on, Freddie! Go on, Charlie!
0:12:41 > 0:12:42Shoulders down!
0:12:43 > 0:12:44Shoulders down!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Come on, Charlie! Come on, Freddie!
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Come on, Charlie, keep skating!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Ooh, ooh, ooh!
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Come on, come on, come on!
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Oh, Charlie!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11I thought that was a good race.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Freddie came second and Charlie,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15nearly falling on the last corner, but he got third.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16That's really good.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I think that race was actually good.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Cos I managed to stay behind him the entire time.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Being next to Freddie on the start line is, I think it's really fun.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31That's the very end of the false starts.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32They're done and dusted.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36I definitely think I would see myself coming to loads more
0:13:36 > 0:13:38of these in the future.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40For Charlie, in his first championships,
0:13:40 > 0:13:43there's no podium, but there's a lot of potential there.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44He skated really, really well.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47From Nottingham, Freddie.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Freddie, it's his second championships,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52but he's on the podium, so he's doing really, REALLY well.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Very talented.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It's a definite improvement from last year,
0:13:56 > 0:14:01because I got podium this year and I didn't get podium last year.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Charlie has done really good.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08It was really fun having Charlie skating with me.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Hmm, I'm sure you're not supposed to run on the ice in your shoes!
0:14:13 > 0:14:14As one battle ends...
0:14:15 > 0:14:18..across Europe another is just beginning.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21It's competition day for the Icicles.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25They're up against some of the world's top synchronised
0:14:25 > 0:14:28skating teams in snowy Salzburg.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Our biggest rivals are Switzerland and France.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34We want to go out there and beat them.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- It's an early start for the off-ice warm up.- One more!
0:14:38 > 0:14:42It may be 7am, but the girls are wide awake and ready to win.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Our routines are going really well and I definitely think we've got
0:14:46 > 0:14:47a chance in beating our rivals.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Having the time of your life, Aims.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02While the Icicles warm up in their allocated area,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06directly opposite are none other than their old rivals, France.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Go again!
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Let's do two groups and then have a dance-off.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17At competitions, every team tries to psych each other out.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21You can be chief clappers - and you'd better be good clappers!
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Everyone tries to outperform each other.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27It's basically a dance-off and the competition starts
0:15:27 > 0:15:29before we get on the ice.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30And whee!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32MUSIC: Just Dance by Lady Gaga
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Hold it!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42When we were warming up for the competition,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44France was next to us, warming up.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47We were dancing the best we could and so were they.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Good, girls! Keep going!
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Woo!
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Woo!
0:15:58 > 0:16:01One, two, three, four, breathe!
0:16:01 > 0:16:02You go, girls!
0:16:07 > 0:16:11With both squads saving the real performance for the ice,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Team France head out first.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16It was intense between us and the French.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- They thought they were going to beat us, didn't they, Aims?- Yeah.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- They're not.- They're not going to. Not going to.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25We're now going on the ice for our official practice.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28The girls are ready for it. They're excited. They're ready to skate
0:16:28 > 0:16:30the best they can and I'm sure they will do.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34With one more chance to feel the ice before tonight's
0:16:34 > 0:16:38big performance, the Icicles are giving it everything they've got.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41We try to psych out everyone. I don't care who they are.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44If they're Finland, if they're Canada, we don't care.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51If we act the best, then we should skate the best.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- ALL:- I said, brr, it's cold in here
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I said there must be some Icicles in the atmosphere
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I said, brr, it's cold in here
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I said there must be some Icicles in the atmosphere
0:17:04 > 0:17:05I said oh-wee, oh-wee, oh-wee
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Ice, ice, ice!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09The standard of the competition is fantastic.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Even the teams that we've beaten previously are looking fantastic,
0:17:12 > 0:17:15so, of course, that put a little bit of pressure on us.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27With the other competitors watching,
0:17:27 > 0:17:28the rivalry is heating up.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38All the other teams were watching us.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42It didn't stop us from going out there and doing our best.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Right, could be much faster on these twizzles. Go, come on.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Don't talk, just hurry up.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49I know my asthma makes me struggle a lot, but there was loads of
0:17:49 > 0:17:53teams watching and I'm not going to let them see that I'm a weakness.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I wasn't going to let that take over my skating.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00The Icicles use up every last second of the practice
0:18:00 > 0:18:03and the tension in the rink is electric.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Push... And pull.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Off, let's go.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12The practice went really well,
0:18:12 > 0:18:15so that made us really pumped for the actual competition.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19Come on, girls!
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Back in Nottingham, Josh is preparing for a battle of his own.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Have you got my skates on?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37There's a cat in the bag!
0:18:37 > 0:18:39THEY LAUGH
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Maybe he wants to go with you instead of me.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Maybe he wants to go with me.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Do you know what? That was a sign, that was a sign...
0:18:46 > 0:18:47I think...
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- I think it's a bit too big. - I'm there for, like, a week.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53- Well, fair enough.- Eight days, maybe.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55What are you going to take?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Well, there's quite a lot of rest days.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Because I skated well at the British, and I managed to win,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02I'm able to qualify for Junior World.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04They haven't got any blades on them.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Kloe didn't qualify this year,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08so Josh will have to brave it and go alone.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12You know if there's a closing banquet, what am I going to wear?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- I did not plan...- Is there? - I did not plan for this.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I've never actually been to a World Championships before,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18so it's a whole new experience.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21There's an opening ceremony, but it's on the ice, it's not...
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Oh, so you're just going to watch?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I've decided this time that I'm going to go without my parents.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I want to just be able to concentrate on myself
0:19:29 > 0:19:31and doing my job and stuff,
0:19:31 > 0:19:32so it's just going to be me and Gurgen that go.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Oh, costumes!
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Oh, yeah. Don't forget that.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Can you imagine if I got there, and I didn't have costumes?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I know they'll be able to watch when they're here at home,
0:19:41 > 0:19:43and I know they'll be cheering for me from here,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45but it's good to be able to just go and concentrate on myself
0:19:45 > 0:19:47and just do my job properly, cos that's what I train for.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I can't believe you're going without me.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52It feels a bit weird, I'm not going to lie. Like...
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Cos we go everywhere...- Together.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56And then, this one time...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59This one time, you're not coming with me.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Me and Kloe, we normally go to international competitions together,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04and it's always good to have each other to relax with.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Next year.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Next year, it's going to be even better, though,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09because next year's in, like, China.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- I know.- So, you know, we'll just go to that one instead.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Josh gets to go and do something so amazing.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18It's such a shame that I'm not going with him, because obviously,
0:20:18 > 0:20:19it would be so much fun.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22I will be watching you.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Good luck.- Thanks, darling.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25See you later!
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Bye!- I'll text you, obviously. - Yeah, obviously.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- See you later!- Bye!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Josh may be heading off on his own,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42but when the Icicles hit the road,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46there's a coach load of them, who work hard, but play hard, too.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Why did Adele cross the road?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54To say hello from the other side!
0:20:55 > 0:20:58MUSIC: We Are Who We Are by Little Mix
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I blame Charlotte Connor!
0:21:07 > 0:21:11In Salzburg, it's not just all work, there's some playtime.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18It was snowing. It was the most amazing setting ever.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I've never been in that much snow before.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25We had a massive snowball fight.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27And one of the girls got Esther in the face.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30It was really funny.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35THEY SHRIEK WITH LAUGHTER
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Oi! Oi! Stop!
0:21:45 > 0:21:47We came outside to have a bit of fun,
0:21:47 > 0:21:49but because we're The Icicles,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Esther came out, and obviously, we threw a snowball in her face.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Shall we make a snowman?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55After the snowball fight,
0:21:55 > 0:21:59we all decided to build a snowman to apologise to Esther.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01MUSIC: Sorry by Justin Bieber
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Are you on record?- Yeah.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08And then we took a video of us saying sorry.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13# Is it too late, now, to say sorry?
0:22:13 > 0:22:18# Cos I'm missing more than just your body
0:22:18 > 0:22:19# Oh
0:22:19 > 0:22:23# Is it too late now to say sorry?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26# Yeah, I know that I let you down
0:22:26 > 0:22:28# Is it too late to say sorry now? #
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Sorry for throwing a snowball at your face!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Are you all genuinely sorry?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Yes!- I forgive you!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39After we apologised to Esther,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42we had to get back and be serious.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47The Icicles apply the final touches
0:22:47 > 0:22:49to their competition hair and make up.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53From the stands, they see their rivals take to the ice,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55and Switzerland are up first.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Watching the other teams while you're in the stands getting ready,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00yeah, it does make it you a bit nervous, it always does.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Their routines were amazing.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Switzerland set a score of 87 to beat.
0:23:10 > 0:23:1319 teams from all over the world
0:23:13 > 0:23:16are competing to win the Mozart Cup,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18and the competition is fierce.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21When France got on the ice,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23we had to go down to the changing room to get ready,
0:23:23 > 0:23:24cos we were on just after them.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26So we had no clue how well they did.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34France skate a clean programme,
0:23:34 > 0:23:36and score a very impressive 91 points.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43The Icicles need to be faultless to have any chance of beating them.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45This is our time to calm down, now,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47and then remember why we're here,
0:23:47 > 0:23:48and what we want to achieve while we're here.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52The girls know they'll have to skate their hearts out,
0:23:52 > 0:23:54and above all, focus.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57They prepare by visualising the whole routine.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01You look great, you look beautiful, and you just...
0:24:01 > 0:24:03You look amazing, honestly.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04So go out there and skate amazing.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Let the audience drive you through this programme,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08cos they're enjoying it.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Our free programme is really tricky.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13It's the most nerve-racking routine,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15as it's the one that decides your place.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Ready, girls?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20It decides if you're first or last.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23# If you could take my pulse right now... #
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Woo! Yes!
0:24:25 > 0:24:27# ..it would feel just like a sledgehammer... #
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Come on, girls! Yes!
0:24:30 > 0:24:32# If you could feel my heart beat now
0:24:32 > 0:24:36# It would hit you like a sledgehammer... #
0:24:36 > 0:24:37Come on!
0:24:40 > 0:24:43# If you could take my pulse right now
0:24:43 > 0:24:46# It would feel just like a sledgehammer
0:24:50 > 0:24:52# If you could feel my heart beat now
0:24:52 > 0:24:53# It would hit you like a sledgehammer... #
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Throughout the routine, we started getting more pumped,
0:24:56 > 0:24:57and the crowd was with us.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59CHEERING
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Push!
0:25:01 > 0:25:03# You're taking over the beat of my body
0:25:03 > 0:25:04# You just don't let up
0:25:04 > 0:25:05# Don't let up
0:25:05 > 0:25:07# You're taking over the beat of my body
0:25:07 > 0:25:08# But you lift me up
0:25:08 > 0:25:09# Lift me up... #
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Element by element, it builds up, and you get more and more excited,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16and more and more confident with what you're doing.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18It's like, getting the points as you go along.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Come on, girls! Push!
0:25:20 > 0:25:22# So close together... #
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Yes, girls!
0:25:25 > 0:25:26- Come on! - CHEERING
0:25:26 > 0:25:29# My fire's waiting for your spark... #
0:25:32 > 0:25:33CHEERING
0:25:36 > 0:25:40There's 16 skaters, and anybody could trip, fall...
0:25:41 > 0:25:45It's that last few seconds where you know that you've really made it.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50# If you could feel my heart beat now
0:25:50 > 0:25:53# It would hit you like a sledgehammer. #
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Come on, hold your legs!
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Hold on now!
0:25:57 > 0:25:58CHEERING
0:26:10 > 0:26:13As we step off the ice, we have to wait at the kiss and cry.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17I was so nervous. Everyone was so nervous. It was horrible.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Whatever the results, you've done yourselves proud.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21That was good.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24All smiles, cos that was really good.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27We had our hearts in our mouths. It was...
0:26:27 > 0:26:28It was really scary.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Cos you don't actually know if you're going to kiss, or cry.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38CHEERING
0:26:42 > 0:26:46With an amazing score of 98 points, the Icicles have come tenth,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49beating France and Switzerland.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Well done!
0:26:58 > 0:27:00We beat all the teams we wanted to, so we're so happy.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- Give us love. You happy?- Yeah.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04They did it!
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I'm really pleased, they skated really good.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08They skated their hearts out.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10They looked fantastic on the ice, and they're all really happy.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I think Salzburg went amazingly,
0:27:15 > 0:27:16and we ended it on a high.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18The best competition I've ever been to.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Like, the atmosphere was amazing, and the points are great.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Couldn't have asked anything more from them, as a coach.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Here's to the next competition. I'm excited.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Next time, on Ice Stars...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I am with you, everybody with you, you know?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Josh fights to qualify at the Junior World Championships.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- He put his hand down.- The only thing that was going through my head
0:27:41 > 0:27:42was the fact that I put the hand down.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44I was like, I don't know if that's going to cost me.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Jellie decide once and for all if they want a future together.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I don't know, like, what I'd prefer to do.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53It needs to be all or nothing.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56And there's a surprise in store for Kloe.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I'm so happy!
