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