0:00:04 > 0:00:06ALL: Icicles!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Icicles is the biggest junior team in the country.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12We're so proud of them.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14It's mind-blowing.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Come on, girls!
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Everyone's there, just, like, with their mouth open, like...
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Wow.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Our main aim for Salzburg is probably to come top ten.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Ready, girls?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29We beat all the teams we wanted to, so we're so happy.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48The Icicles take drastic action in their bid
0:00:48 > 0:00:50to remain British champions.
0:00:50 > 0:00:51This sounded so great.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Yeah, that's totally going to work.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Didn't work at all.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- Not even close.- But could their risky routine be a step too far?
0:00:58 > 0:01:00She's scared we're not ready, so...
0:01:00 > 0:01:02We're scared, as well.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Go on!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Charlie and Freddie prepare for their own competition.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Party time.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And a talented new arrival from Russia has got everyone talking.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15I didn't even realise how young she was, as well.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17She can be a very good skater.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23ALL: Yeah!
0:01:23 > 0:01:26This season, our ice stars are in more demand than ever.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Charlie and Freddie, do you
0:01:29 > 0:01:31want to follow Pudsey behind him?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Never shy showing off their moves,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35are speed skaters and ice hockey players
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Charlie and Freddie.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And this week,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41they're heading south to Guildford
0:01:41 > 0:01:43for a speed skating competition against
0:01:43 > 0:01:45the best in their age group.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I think we're faster than rabbits.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Because they'd be running for their lives,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52but then they'd just be, like, staying in the same place.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Go, go, go, go, go. - Go, go, go, go...
0:01:58 > 0:02:03The boys have just one last session before the big day.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Hello, Pip.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Keep skating, Oscar!
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Use your arms, Freddie!
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Come on, Charlie!
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Push!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19OK, working hard.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21So, this time, shoulders lower.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- Lower.- And arms, you're still not using them in the straight.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Last season, Charlie was gutted when
0:02:27 > 0:02:31he was disqualified twice for jumping the gun.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33GUN BANGS TWICE
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Oh, Charlie.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38You're off, darling, you got two false starts.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Those false starts cost him big-time.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And now it's his chance to finally them behind him.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47We're going to do some starts now.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Go to the line.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52The boys might think they're speedier than rabbits,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56but Charlie needs to stand still as a statue till the gun goes off.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Are we still? Ready?
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Charlie.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05I've warned you, don't try and beat me.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Listen.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12What's going through your mind on the line?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- I don't know.- Well, you should know.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16OK? Not good enough.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Do the same position again.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Now, move your weight.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28You must stand still, cos if you're the one to move, you've gone.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32He just doesn't stand still on the line.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35He's just trying to beat the gun and not listen for the gun.
0:03:37 > 0:03:42When I play hockey, you act fast and in speed skating you wait until you
0:03:42 > 0:03:44hear the gun, then go.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46If Charlie can't get his starts right,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48it's not looking good for the Guildford competition.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Come on...
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Hoping to repeat the success of last year is synchro-team, the Icicles.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Hi, Jess! Hi, Alex!
0:04:02 > 0:04:03I'm Beth.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Haven't seen you in so long!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07The best thing about starting a new season
0:04:07 > 0:04:09is learning the new programmes.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10It's my favourite bit.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14And this year, the girls have something special up their sleeves.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I'm really excited.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Our routine has to be bigger and better each year,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26so this year we've decided to go for Bollywood.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28We were, like, "Oh, yes."
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I don't think Bollywood's been done for a long time.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33So different from any other type of dance.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Let's go.- Let's go.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Icicles, we've never done Bollywood.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I don't think we ever thought we ever would.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47We need quite a bit of help.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Taking on Bollywood is going to be tougher
0:04:49 > 0:04:52than any of the team could ever have imagined.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56I hope we actually can make it look good and not ruin Bollywood.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59So coach Esther calls in Bollywood dancer
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Veena to get the team ready...
0:05:01 > 0:05:03This is Bollywood.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07We use hip movement quite a lot and we use the facial a lot,
0:05:07 > 0:05:09using it very, very bold.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Listen, listen, listen, listen.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Let's try one more time.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17..before inviting back her secret weapon,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19top choreographer Mark Naylor.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21If you're going to choose that style of music,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24you need to make sure that the movement all makes sense.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Good afternoon, skaters.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27ALL: Hi.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32Excellent. Yeah, familiar faces, new faces, great.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34The pressure is immense this year.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37If it's not executed right then we could
0:05:37 > 0:05:39get less points than last year.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I was thinking lotus flower?
0:05:41 > 0:05:42And then we all...
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Yeah.- ..we all come to life.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Yeah.- OK.- If you'd said you couldn't come,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I think I would've pulled out the year.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It's like Indian and we do all of these different arm movements.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59You ready?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Namaste.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Namaste.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04We've got that one.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Twisting...- Screw the light bulb.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- The earrings.- Bangles.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13And pulse and left to right.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Yes.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Mark's bringing in, like, a lotus flower and we, like, burst out...
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Head up, shoulder, shoulder, flick, flick.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23And roll. Right, three turn.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Go.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28It is really, really hard.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- We're like, "Oh, no, I don't know what I'm doing."- Yeah.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Don't ever do the pose again.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37One simple finger being wrong, just doesn't look Bollywood at all.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- Where is it?- I need to see it on the ice. OK.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41As current British champions,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45retaining their title rests on perfecting this routine.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49But this year, the team has lost some of their most senior girls,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52including top skaters, Sam and Sophie.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56We had four really experienced skaters leave this season,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59which meant we had to bring up the younger ones.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02It does feel like we're starting again.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06But you don't get far by not taking risks.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So may I see the start position?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Five, six, seven, eight...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14And up. And your own business.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16And transition.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Collect and pull through.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Yeah, la, la...
0:07:21 > 0:07:23OK, not hideous.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26It is hard trying to keep all
0:07:26 > 0:07:29the technical things good and on-point.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30This sounded so great.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33"Yeah, that's totally going to work."
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Well, didn't work at all.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Not even close.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40With the new team lacking in experience,
0:07:40 > 0:07:43it looks like the difficult Bollywood dance
0:07:43 > 0:07:45might be one step too far.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47You think, "How are we going to make this work?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- "Are we going to have to change the programme?"- It has to work.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57We have to be better as a team.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59If one or two skaters actually mess up,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01that can affect the points.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05In. Out. In... Chug, chug.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Yeah, that doesn't work.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09The Icicles will need to get to grips with Bollywood,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12or their reign as British champions could be over.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16We did realise, "Oh, we're at a risk here."
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Becoming a champion can mean making enormous sacrifices.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Mummy, come on.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Let's unpack my bag now.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's so heavy.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39This is ten-year-old figure skater Elena.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- The books.- Books.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43She and her mum have just moved to the UK
0:08:43 > 0:08:45all the way from Russia, so that
0:08:45 > 0:08:47she can train here in Nottingham.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49We need to buy the uniform for you as well,
0:08:49 > 0:08:50for your school here, right?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Look, it's really summer here.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Not like in Russia.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02I came to skate and to go to school because in Russia
0:09:02 > 0:09:03it's all different.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05You only go skating.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I left behind my friends at the ice rink.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14And I really miss my father.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16He stayed in Moscow.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19My home is near the forest.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20You can ski in winter.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28I put this thing on my head when I have competitions, like that.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30For Russian dance.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Yes.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33THEY BOTH LAUGH
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Not for like that, like a pirate.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41I started ice-skating when I was three years old.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42I want to be the world champion.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48I'm looking forward to making friends and doing competitions here.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55And Elena has no time to waste.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59The biggest competition in the UK is coming up.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Long half loop. And take off.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16In Russia, Elena spent more time skating than she did at school -
0:10:16 > 0:10:19and all that extra practice shows.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22She's good. Good jumps, good spins.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24And she have a big ambition.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27She can be a very good skater.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Elena's talent has caught the eye of the rink's top figure skaters,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Josh and Kloe.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- I think she's doing really good. - Yeah, she's...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Yeah, doing really well.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I think she'll be really good.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I didn't even realise how young she was, as well.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I know, she's, like, ten?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Just like Elena, Kloe also moved her whole life here,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47from Hungary, five years ago.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50You were only, like, 12 or 11,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52so for you it's kind of like the same thing.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- Yeah.- So...
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I knew the coaches, but I didn't know anyone else.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Yeah, I think...- And I also couldn't speak English, so...
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'd hate to imagine what that's like.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Hi, Elena.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07- How are you doing?- Hello.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- It's great.- I see you on the practices all the time
0:11:10 > 0:11:13and your jumps are really good. I think you're doing really well.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Also, your English is really good.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17You seem really confident.
0:11:17 > 0:11:18Thanks.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23I find English very easy and I can understand people very well.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Oh, that's good. I remember being in
0:11:25 > 0:11:27the same situation as you when I moved here.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Anything, any problems you have,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31you can always come and talk to me.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34OK, thank you, Kloe.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Are you going to school now?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Yes. I've got a science test.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Over at Icicle Jess's house...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52..the girls hope that if their dresses are brilliantly Bollywood,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54it might help with their routine.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- That right?- Doesn't look right.- No, they're all in a straight line.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01- Green...- Green. The green goes...
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Right there. Around that bit.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Alex, Bethany, Charlotte and Erin have come round.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Shall we look at the sketches and work it out?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Charlotte's designed the dresses this season
0:12:11 > 0:12:13and now we've just got to crystal them,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16so they look even better on the ice.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17£2.99.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21I like the idea of the gems up here.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- Do you want to put some on?- OK.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Go on, Beth.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I got some inspiration for the dress from different internet sites,
0:12:28 > 0:12:30so I thought red and purple's a
0:12:30 > 0:12:32pretty Indian Bollywood colour.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39The Bollywood programme was a killer.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41It's a different theme to what we'd normally do.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Something completely out of our comfort zone.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Some of the elements as well,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47like, the move elements are way different this year.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- I think we're stressing too much about it.- Yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51When there's too much going on, it's a bit, like... "Ugh!"
0:12:51 > 0:12:54The whole thing is really high levelled.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56ALL: Inside, beat and run on the toes.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Twizzle, twizzle, twizzle, twizzle...
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Stop.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I think that looks pretty good now.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Shall we get my mum in?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Mum?
0:13:07 > 0:13:10This glue is really sticky.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11Just wanted to make sure...
0:13:11 > 0:13:14It's a completely different look to what we'd normally have.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Normally we wear, like, pinks.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Charlotte's done a fantastic job.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23The Icicles travel all over the world to compete and are experts at
0:13:23 > 0:13:25knowing just what to bring.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29When we go on road trips, for skating competitions,
0:13:29 > 0:13:30I always have to take...
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Skates. Number two?
0:13:33 > 0:13:34- Costume!- Good girl.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37My big fluffy bear poncho.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40I'll have a speaker to blast out music all the way
0:13:40 > 0:13:41and all the way back.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Number three... - BOTH: Music!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Stop.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47THEY SING TOGETHER
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Today, Charlie and Freddie are on their way
0:13:54 > 0:13:56to their speed competition in Guildford.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Get off me.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02When we go on a road trip to a competition, we joke about...
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Green car.- Green car.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Right there.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07..and eat...
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- What crisps are you having, boys? - BOTH: Salt and vinegar.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12..a lot.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Oh, chocolate.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16BOTH: I eat more...
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- I eat more food...- I eat more food than Freddie.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25BOTH: One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26Die!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I dribbled on your hair!
0:14:31 > 0:14:32Eurgh!
0:14:33 > 0:14:36The best bit about going on the road trip to Guildford
0:14:36 > 0:14:38was it was close to my grandma's house,
0:14:38 > 0:14:40so we had a sleepover there, as well.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55It's very hot.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Yeah, it's called hot chocolate, there's a point of it being hot.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Do you get it?- No.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Oh, no, not this again.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Bedtime, you two.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Let's go get some cookies.- Oh, yeah.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Great. We've eaten a whole bag of cookies.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Hmm. That'll be why you're hyper then, boys.
0:15:19 > 0:15:20Party time.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Go to sleep, please.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28How's this going to stay up?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31When me and Freddie have sleepovers, we just don't go to sleep,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33we just stay up.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Your nose has gone red.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38THEY LAUGH
0:15:38 > 0:15:39THEY BLOW RASPBERRIES
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Freddie!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Back in Nottingham, there's no time to be joking around.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03The Icicles are still struggling just to make it through
0:16:03 > 0:16:05their new Bollywood routine.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Contain yourself, we've got an hour and 20 minutes left.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Right, from the beginning, girls, let's go.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12Think Bollywood.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Head up, Lucy.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19If the girls can't nail it,
0:16:19 > 0:16:23they're at risk of losing their title of British champions.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Because we're British champions,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28the other teams straightaway want to beat you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Head up, come on! Three!
0:16:39 > 0:16:41OK, come in. The reason why I stopped the music
0:16:41 > 0:16:42and I didn't carry on when
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I wanted to carry on, is cos people are getting sloppy.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48You guys had absolutely zero speed down.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50I don't even know how you managed to do the spiral.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I just think she is, she's scared.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55She's scared we're not ready. So...
0:16:55 > 0:16:57We're scared, as well.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58This needs to be neater.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01The skippedy-skip, step-step, where is the pushing?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03You've got to push.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05Like, no time to chill in Bollywood.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Practice how you mean to go on.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Right, go quickly.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Because there's so many different arm movements,
0:17:14 > 0:17:15it's really hard to get on time.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18And it's one of the issues that our team definitely has.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21Yeah.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24It's really sharp and precise, whereas we're not used to that.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I was so stressed-out about it.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Girls, this end.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37I'm just going to tell you this once,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40you know how to do the death spirals, we worked on them plenty,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43but you need to make sure you go in the same direction.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45When Esther's stressed, we're stressed.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47So then, everyone's just stressed.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51That time, we had people stepping back...
0:17:51 > 0:17:54We had people step into "ice" and then we had people stepping to
0:17:54 > 0:17:57"Panthers" on the barrier there. Do you all understand that?
0:17:57 > 0:17:59There wasn't one couple that were in sync.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02We hadn't properly finished the programme.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05We really... I didn't think we're ready.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07There's no time to waste. Go again.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22It's the evening of Charlie and Freddie's big race.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28After all the fun of their sleepover, it's time to get serious.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31I've totally lost my mind.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Not like in a crazy way, but...
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Like, I just can't think.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'm really nervous.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Before the races, I was like...
0:18:43 > 0:18:46"Don't, no false starts, no penalties."
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Next. I'm on the next race.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49STARTING GUNSHOT
0:18:51 > 0:18:52He's just got to stand still on the line.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54As long as he does that, he'll be fine.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56ANNOUNCER: Freddie, Charlie and...
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Freddie and Charlie are in the same race.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01They're skating three laps.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Basically, Freddie is faster than me.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05If I was a rabbit, he'd probably be
0:19:05 > 0:19:08like a peregrine falcon, going for me.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Only the first and second-placed skater
0:19:10 > 0:19:14will make it on from this heat to the top final.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16It's only a couple of laps.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19It's really important to get a good start.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I was really nervous because I didn't want to get a false start.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27ANNOUNCER: Go to the start.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Ready.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Come on, guys! Come on, go, go, go!
0:19:34 > 0:19:37As expected, Freddie, in 41, takes the lead.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Charlie hasn't false-started, but he's in last place.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Go on, all the way to the line!
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Freddie qualifies for the top final.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Charlie comes third and that's not all...
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Charlie got a penalty because he got off-track,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10so that puts him down in the bottom final.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14That was terrible.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17I lost a bit of balance and I went slightly out of the track,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19trying to overtake him.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23That race just went absolutely wrong.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Sometimes I just think...
0:20:29 > 0:20:30HE SIGHS
0:20:30 > 0:20:32.."Why?"
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Charlie may not have made the top final,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42but he still has to race in a lower one.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- ANNOUNCER:- And they're away! Three laps.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Charlie takes an early lead.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- TRAINER:- Body down, body down!
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Can he hold on?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Shoulders down!
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Coming close...
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Keep your shoulders down!
0:21:04 > 0:21:09And Charlie takes the win in the C final, group three.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10He's done it.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Finally, my first!
0:21:15 > 0:21:19My last race just went amazing.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Charlie did really well in that race.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24He got very close to his personal best.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Nice one, Charlie.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Now it's the top final and Freddie
0:21:29 > 0:21:31is facing a battle for a podium place.
0:21:31 > 0:21:37It's hard to get to the top cos I'm younger than all the other people.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- ANNOUNCER:- And they're away!
0:21:48 > 0:21:50It's very neck and neck and Theo Collins
0:21:50 > 0:21:51takes the lead this time.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Go on!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13CHEERING
0:22:13 > 0:22:17It was a hard race. I thought that it was going to come in third place,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20but, surprisingly, I came second.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Freddie in second.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Take the trophies.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Come on, let's hear some noise.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Freddie has done very well in his races.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33If your friend has done really well and you've not,
0:22:33 > 0:22:38you'd feel very happy for them and if they're doing very, very well,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40you'll be even more happy for them.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Well done, Freddie. You did really, really well today, didn't you?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I think I did really good.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Charlie, no false starts, that's really, really good.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Next year, I'm hoping to be as fast as a cheetah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53I'm really pleased with you today.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57It's not really an animal, but I'm hoping to be as fast as light.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12This summer, figure skater Elena moved to Nottingham from Russia...
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Just need to go straight in to go do your warm-up.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19..and today is her first big competition in the UK.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24I'm excited because it's my first time at the British championship.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Everything is absolutely new for her.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Erm...
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Difficult, difficult.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35One, two and take off.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40Try and move in the first, then the second, then the third one, OK?
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I'm being positive about this today.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I think I can be on the podium.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48One, two, three.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Yes. Very good.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Take off. Up.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54She's hoping to become British champion.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56The trouble is,
0:23:56 > 0:23:57there are 40 other skaters
0:23:57 > 0:23:59all hoping for the same thing.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03And, for Elena, this is a new rink.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08You will come down there and you'll come here and go that way.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11APPLAUSE
0:24:12 > 0:24:13OK with everything?
0:24:15 > 0:24:16Yeah?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21I really wanted to be on the podium.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I wanted to show everyone that it was right to come here.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32Fighting for all, from beginning to end, fighting for all elements.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Come on, skating well, please, OK?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Be a strong girl. You can do that, OK?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Come on.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Elena's routine includes harder jumps
0:24:44 > 0:24:46than many girls are even trying here.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49It will mean big points IF she can land them,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53and her trickiest jump is up first.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59I was confident because I landed always.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03But I fell on it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06I worried that my fall would bring my points down.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Falling so early in her performance,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Elena can't afford to let it knock her confidence.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17I had to do all the rest of the routine good.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Wow! She's pulled it off.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55No more falls and some really complicated jumps
0:25:55 > 0:25:57right through to the end.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00You're fighting very good.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Coach Gurgen sounds pleased,
0:26:02 > 0:26:06but will that fall at the start cost Elena her spot on the podium?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Hi, darling.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Hello.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- Why did you fall?- I don't know.- You don't know,
0:26:12 > 0:26:15you never fell from that.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19When I sat watching all the other girls skating, I was nervous.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23I thought some of them could skate better than me.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25The judges are sleepy now.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31As the last girl finishes to a massive cheer...
0:26:32 > 0:26:35..Elena can't work out her final place.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I think we'll have to check.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Yeah.- Double-check.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42She heads to the ice just in case she has made it to the podium.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50In second place, from the National Ice Centre Nottingham, Elena.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55She's done it! Second place.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Well done, Elena.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I was happy.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17First British championship, silver medal.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Very happy.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23It made me want to do more competitions,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26to be the Olympic champion.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I'm in a rush to go home because my favourite cheesecake
0:27:29 > 0:27:31is waiting for me -
0:27:31 > 0:27:33triple chocolate with double cream!
0:27:40 > 0:27:45After a summer alone, ice dancer Josh has some big news...
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I've got a new partner, Lucy.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54..and ice hockey player Reece gets an offer he can't refuse.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Reece, I love you and miss you.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Don't lie. Don't lie!
