ALL: Icicles!

0:00:040:00:06

Icicles is the biggest junior team in the country.

0:00:060:00:08

We're so proud of them.

0:00:110:00:12

It's mind-blowing.

0:00:120:00:14

Come on, girls!

0:00:140:00:15

Everyone's there, just, like, with their mouth open, like...

0:00:150:00:18

Wow.

0:00:180:00:19

Our main aim for Salzburg is probably to come top ten.

0:00:190:00:23

Ready, girls?

0:00:230:00:24

We beat all the teams we wanted to, so we're so happy.

0:00:260:00:29

The Icicles take drastic action in their bid

0:00:450:00:48

to remain British champions.

0:00:480:00:50

This sounded so great.

0:00:500:00:51

Yeah, that's totally going to work.

0:00:510:00:52

Didn't work at all.

0:00:520:00:54

-Not even close.

-But could their risky routine be a step too far?

0:00:540:00:58

She's scared we're not ready, so...

0:00:580:01:00

We're scared, as well.

0:01:000:01:02

Go on!

0:01:020:01:04

Charlie and Freddie prepare for their own competition.

0:01:040:01:07

Party time.

0:01:070:01:09

And a talented new arrival from Russia has got everyone talking.

0:01:090:01:13

I didn't even realise how young she was, as well.

0:01:130:01:15

She can be a very good skater.

0:01:150:01:17

ALL: Yeah!

0:01:220:01:23

This season, our ice stars are in more demand than ever.

0:01:230:01:26

Charlie and Freddie, do you

0:01:260:01:29

want to follow Pudsey behind him?

0:01:290:01:31

Never shy showing off their moves,

0:01:310:01:33

are speed skaters and ice hockey players

0:01:330:01:35

Charlie and Freddie.

0:01:350:01:36

And this week,

0:01:370:01:39

they're heading south to Guildford

0:01:390:01:41

for a speed skating competition against

0:01:410:01:43

the best in their age group.

0:01:430:01:45

I think we're faster than rabbits.

0:01:450:01:47

Because they'd be running for their lives,

0:01:470:01:49

but then they'd just be, like, staying in the same place.

0:01:490:01:52

-Go, go, go, go, go.

-Go, go, go, go...

0:01:560:01:58

The boys have just one last session before the big day.

0:01:580:02:03

Hello, Pip.

0:02:030:02:04

Keep skating, Oscar!

0:02:070:02:09

Use your arms, Freddie!

0:02:090:02:12

Come on, Charlie!

0:02:120:02:14

Push!

0:02:140:02:15

OK, working hard.

0:02:170:02:19

So, this time, shoulders lower.

0:02:190:02:21

-Lower.

-And arms, you're still not using them in the straight.

0:02:210:02:24

Last season, Charlie was gutted when

0:02:250:02:27

he was disqualified twice for jumping the gun.

0:02:270:02:31

GUN BANGS TWICE

0:02:310:02:33

Oh, Charlie.

0:02:330:02:34

You're off, darling, you got two false starts.

0:02:360:02:38

Those false starts cost him big-time.

0:02:380:02:42

And now it's his chance to finally them behind him.

0:02:420:02:45

We're going to do some starts now.

0:02:450:02:47

Go to the line.

0:02:470:02:49

The boys might think they're speedier than rabbits,

0:02:490:02:52

but Charlie needs to stand still as a statue till the gun goes off.

0:02:520:02:56

Are we still? Ready?

0:02:560:02:58

Charlie.

0:03:000:03:01

I've warned you, don't try and beat me.

0:03:010:03:05

Listen.

0:03:050:03:06

What's going through your mind on the line?

0:03:100:03:12

-I don't know.

-Well, you should know.

0:03:120:03:15

OK? Not good enough.

0:03:150:03:16

Do the same position again.

0:03:170:03:19

Now, move your weight.

0:03:190:03:21

You must stand still, cos if you're the one to move, you've gone.

0:03:230:03:28

He just doesn't stand still on the line.

0:03:300:03:32

He's just trying to beat the gun and not listen for the gun.

0:03:320:03:35

When I play hockey, you act fast and in speed skating you wait until you

0:03:370:03:42

hear the gun, then go.

0:03:420:03:44

If Charlie can't get his starts right,

0:03:440:03:46

it's not looking good for the Guildford competition.

0:03:460:03:48

Come on...

0:03:480:03:49

Hoping to repeat the success of last year is synchro-team, the Icicles.

0:03:550:04:00

Hi, Jess! Hi, Alex!

0:04:000:04:02

I'm Beth.

0:04:020:04:03

Haven't seen you in so long!

0:04:030:04:05

The best thing about starting a new season

0:04:050:04:07

is learning the new programmes.

0:04:070:04:09

It's my favourite bit.

0:04:090:04:10

And this year, the girls have something special up their sleeves.

0:04:100:04:14

I'm really excited.

0:04:180:04:20

Our routine has to be bigger and better each year,

0:04:200:04:23

so this year we've decided to go for Bollywood.

0:04:230:04:26

We were, like, "Oh, yes."

0:04:260:04:28

I don't think Bollywood's been done for a long time.

0:04:280:04:30

So different from any other type of dance.

0:04:310:04:33

-Let's go.

-Let's go.

0:04:330:04:35

Icicles, we've never done Bollywood.

0:04:410:04:43

I don't think we ever thought we ever would.

0:04:430:04:45

We need quite a bit of help.

0:04:450:04:47

Taking on Bollywood is going to be tougher

0:04:470:04:49

than any of the team could ever have imagined.

0:04:490:04:52

I hope we actually can make it look good and not ruin Bollywood.

0:04:520:04:56

So coach Esther calls in Bollywood dancer

0:04:560:04:59

Veena to get the team ready...

0:04:590:05:01

This is Bollywood.

0:05:010:05:03

We use hip movement quite a lot and we use the facial a lot,

0:05:030:05:07

using it very, very bold.

0:05:070:05:09

Listen, listen, listen, listen.

0:05:110:05:12

Let's try one more time.

0:05:120:05:14

..before inviting back her secret weapon,

0:05:140:05:17

top choreographer Mark Naylor.

0:05:170:05:19

If you're going to choose that style of music,

0:05:190:05:21

you need to make sure that the movement all makes sense.

0:05:210:05:24

Good afternoon, skaters.

0:05:240:05:26

ALL: Hi.

0:05:260:05:27

Excellent. Yeah, familiar faces, new faces, great.

0:05:270:05:32

The pressure is immense this year.

0:05:320:05:34

If it's not executed right then we could

0:05:340:05:37

get less points than last year.

0:05:370:05:39

I was thinking lotus flower?

0:05:390:05:41

And then we all...

0:05:410:05:42

-Yeah.

-..we all come to life.

0:05:420:05:44

-Yeah.

-OK.

-If you'd said you couldn't come,

0:05:440:05:46

I think I would've pulled out the year.

0:05:460:05:48

It's like Indian and we do all of these different arm movements.

0:05:520:05:55

You ready?

0:05:570:05:59

Namaste.

0:05:590:06:01

Namaste.

0:06:010:06:03

We've got that one.

0:06:030:06:04

-Twisting...

-Screw the light bulb.

0:06:040:06:07

-The earrings.

-Bangles.

0:06:070:06:09

And pulse and left to right.

0:06:090:06:13

Yes.

0:06:130:06:14

Mark's bringing in, like, a lotus flower and we, like, burst out...

0:06:140:06:17

Head up, shoulder, shoulder, flick, flick.

0:06:170:06:20

And roll. Right, three turn.

0:06:200:06:23

Go.

0:06:230:06:24

It is really, really hard.

0:06:260:06:28

-We're like, "Oh, no, I don't know what I'm doing."

-Yeah.

0:06:280:06:31

Don't ever do the pose again.

0:06:310:06:33

One simple finger being wrong, just doesn't look Bollywood at all.

0:06:330:06:37

-Where is it?

-I need to see it on the ice. OK.

0:06:370:06:39

As current British champions,

0:06:390:06:41

retaining their title rests on perfecting this routine.

0:06:410:06:45

But this year, the team has lost some of their most senior girls,

0:06:450:06:49

including top skaters, Sam and Sophie.

0:06:490:06:52

We had four really experienced skaters leave this season,

0:06:520:06:56

which meant we had to bring up the younger ones.

0:06:560:06:59

It does feel like we're starting again.

0:06:590:07:02

But you don't get far by not taking risks.

0:07:020:07:06

So may I see the start position?

0:07:060:07:09

Five, six, seven, eight...

0:07:090:07:11

And up. And your own business.

0:07:110:07:14

And transition.

0:07:140:07:16

Collect and pull through.

0:07:160:07:19

Yeah, la, la...

0:07:190:07:21

OK, not hideous.

0:07:210:07:23

It is hard trying to keep all

0:07:230:07:26

the technical things good and on-point.

0:07:260:07:29

This sounded so great.

0:07:290:07:30

"Yeah, that's totally going to work."

0:07:300:07:33

Well, didn't work at all.

0:07:330:07:35

Not even close.

0:07:350:07:36

With the new team lacking in experience,

0:07:370:07:40

it looks like the difficult Bollywood dance

0:07:400:07:43

might be one step too far.

0:07:430:07:45

You think, "How are we going to make this work?

0:07:450:07:47

-"Are we going to have to change the programme?"

-It has to work.

0:07:470:07:50

We have to be better as a team.

0:07:550:07:57

If one or two skaters actually mess up,

0:07:570:07:59

that can affect the points.

0:07:590:08:01

In. Out. In... Chug, chug.

0:08:010:08:05

Yeah, that doesn't work.

0:08:050:08:06

The Icicles will need to get to grips with Bollywood,

0:08:060:08:09

or their reign as British champions could be over.

0:08:090:08:12

We did realise, "Oh, we're at a risk here."

0:08:120:08:16

Becoming a champion can mean making enormous sacrifices.

0:08:240:08:29

Mummy, come on.

0:08:300:08:32

Let's unpack my bag now.

0:08:320:08:34

It's so heavy.

0:08:340:08:36

This is ten-year-old figure skater Elena.

0:08:360:08:39

-The books.

-Books.

0:08:390:08:41

She and her mum have just moved to the UK

0:08:410:08:43

all the way from Russia, so that

0:08:430:08:45

she can train here in Nottingham.

0:08:450:08:47

We need to buy the uniform for you as well,

0:08:470:08:49

for your school here, right?

0:08:490:08:50

Look, it's really summer here.

0:08:510:08:54

Not like in Russia.

0:08:540:08:56

I came to skate and to go to school because in Russia

0:08:570:09:02

it's all different.

0:09:020:09:03

You only go skating.

0:09:030:09:05

I left behind my friends at the ice rink.

0:09:080:09:12

And I really miss my father.

0:09:120:09:14

He stayed in Moscow.

0:09:140:09:16

My home is near the forest.

0:09:160:09:19

You can ski in winter.

0:09:190:09:20

I put this thing on my head when I have competitions, like that.

0:09:230:09:28

For Russian dance.

0:09:280:09:30

Yes.

0:09:300:09:31

THEY BOTH LAUGH

0:09:310:09:33

Not for like that, like a pirate.

0:09:330:09:35

I started ice-skating when I was three years old.

0:09:370:09:41

I want to be the world champion.

0:09:410:09:42

I'm looking forward to making friends and doing competitions here.

0:09:440:09:48

And Elena has no time to waste.

0:09:520:09:55

The biggest competition in the UK is coming up.

0:09:550:09:59

Long half loop. And take off.

0:09:590:10:02

In Russia, Elena spent more time skating than she did at school -

0:10:120:10:16

and all that extra practice shows.

0:10:160:10:19

She's good. Good jumps, good spins.

0:10:190:10:22

And she have a big ambition.

0:10:220:10:24

She can be a very good skater.

0:10:240:10:27

Elena's talent has caught the eye of the rink's top figure skaters,

0:10:270:10:30

Josh and Kloe.

0:10:300:10:32

-I think she's doing really good.

-Yeah, she's...

0:10:320:10:34

Yeah, doing really well.

0:10:340:10:36

I think she'll be really good.

0:10:360:10:38

I didn't even realise how young she was, as well.

0:10:380:10:40

I know, she's, like, ten?

0:10:400:10:42

Just like Elena, Kloe also moved her whole life here,

0:10:420:10:45

from Hungary, five years ago.

0:10:450:10:47

You were only, like, 12 or 11,

0:10:470:10:50

so for you it's kind of like the same thing.

0:10:500:10:52

-Yeah.

-So...

0:10:520:10:53

I knew the coaches, but I didn't know anyone else.

0:10:530:10:56

-Yeah, I think...

-And I also couldn't speak English, so...

0:10:560:10:59

I'd hate to imagine what that's like.

0:10:590:11:01

Hi, Elena.

0:11:040:11:06

-How are you doing?

-Hello.

0:11:060:11:07

-It's great.

-I see you on the practices all the time

0:11:070:11:10

and your jumps are really good. I think you're doing really well.

0:11:100:11:13

Also, your English is really good.

0:11:140:11:15

You seem really confident.

0:11:150:11:17

Thanks.

0:11:170:11:18

I find English very easy and I can understand people very well.

0:11:180:11:23

Oh, that's good. I remember being in

0:11:230:11:25

the same situation as you when I moved here.

0:11:250:11:27

Anything, any problems you have,

0:11:270:11:29

you can always come and talk to me.

0:11:290:11:31

OK, thank you, Kloe.

0:11:310:11:34

Are you going to school now?

0:11:340:11:35

Yes. I've got a science test.

0:11:350:11:38

Over at Icicle Jess's house...

0:11:450:11:47

..the girls hope that if their dresses are brilliantly Bollywood,

0:11:490:11:52

it might help with their routine.

0:11:520:11:54

-That right?

-Doesn't look right.

-No, they're all in a straight line.

0:11:560:12:00

-Green...

-Green. The green goes...

0:12:000:12:01

Right there. Around that bit.

0:12:010:12:03

Alex, Bethany, Charlotte and Erin have come round.

0:12:030:12:06

Shall we look at the sketches and work it out?

0:12:060:12:09

Charlotte's designed the dresses this season

0:12:090:12:11

and now we've just got to crystal them,

0:12:110:12:13

so they look even better on the ice.

0:12:130:12:16

£2.99.

0:12:160:12:17

I like the idea of the gems up here.

0:12:190:12:21

-Do you want to put some on?

-OK.

0:12:210:12:23

Go on, Beth.

0:12:230:12:24

I got some inspiration for the dress from different internet sites,

0:12:240:12:28

so I thought red and purple's a

0:12:280:12:30

pretty Indian Bollywood colour.

0:12:300:12:32

The Bollywood programme was a killer.

0:12:360:12:39

It's a different theme to what we'd normally do.

0:12:390:12:41

Something completely out of our comfort zone.

0:12:410:12:43

Some of the elements as well,

0:12:430:12:45

like, the move elements are way different this year.

0:12:450:12:47

-I think we're stressing too much about it.

-Yeah.

0:12:470:12:49

When there's too much going on, it's a bit, like... "Ugh!"

0:12:490:12:51

The whole thing is really high levelled.

0:12:510:12:54

ALL: Inside, beat and run on the toes.

0:12:540:12:56

Twizzle, twizzle, twizzle, twizzle...

0:12:560:12:59

Stop.

0:12:590:13:00

I think that looks pretty good now.

0:13:000:13:02

Shall we get my mum in?

0:13:020:13:04

Mum?

0:13:040:13:05

This glue is really sticky.

0:13:070:13:10

Just wanted to make sure...

0:13:100:13:11

It's a completely different look to what we'd normally have.

0:13:110:13:14

Normally we wear, like, pinks.

0:13:140:13:16

Charlotte's done a fantastic job.

0:13:160:13:17

The Icicles travel all over the world to compete and are experts at

0:13:190:13:23

knowing just what to bring.

0:13:230:13:25

When we go on road trips, for skating competitions,

0:13:250:13:29

I always have to take...

0:13:290:13:30

Skates. Number two?

0:13:300:13:33

-Costume!

-Good girl.

0:13:330:13:34

My big fluffy bear poncho.

0:13:340:13:37

I'll have a speaker to blast out music all the way

0:13:370:13:40

and all the way back.

0:13:400:13:41

-Number three...

-BOTH: Music!

0:13:410:13:43

Stop.

0:13:430:13:45

THEY SING TOGETHER

0:13:450:13:47

Today, Charlie and Freddie are on their way

0:13:510:13:54

to their speed competition in Guildford.

0:13:540:13:56

Get off me.

0:13:560:13:58

When we go on a road trip to a competition, we joke about...

0:13:580:14:02

-Green car.

-Green car.

0:14:020:14:04

Right there.

0:14:040:14:05

..and eat...

0:14:050:14:07

-What crisps are you having, boys?

-BOTH: Salt and vinegar.

0:14:070:14:10

..a lot.

0:14:100:14:12

Oh, chocolate.

0:14:120:14:14

BOTH: I eat more...

0:14:140:14:16

-I eat more food...

-I eat more food than Freddie.

0:14:160:14:19

BOTH: One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war.

0:14:200:14:25

Die!

0:14:250:14:26

I dribbled on your hair!

0:14:290:14:31

Eurgh!

0:14:310:14:32

The best bit about going on the road trip to Guildford

0:14:330:14:36

was it was close to my grandma's house,

0:14:360:14:38

so we had a sleepover there, as well.

0:14:380:14:40

It's very hot.

0:14:520:14:55

Yeah, it's called hot chocolate, there's a point of it being hot.

0:14:550:14:58

-Do you get it?

-No.

0:14:580:15:00

Oh, no, not this again.

0:15:000:15:02

Bedtime, you two.

0:15:020:15:04

-Let's go get some cookies.

-Oh, yeah.

0:15:040:15:07

Great. We've eaten a whole bag of cookies.

0:15:100:15:13

Hmm. That'll be why you're hyper then, boys.

0:15:140:15:17

Party time.

0:15:190:15:20

Go to sleep, please.

0:15:230:15:26

How's this going to stay up?

0:15:260:15:28

When me and Freddie have sleepovers, we just don't go to sleep,

0:15:280:15:31

we just stay up.

0:15:310:15:33

Your nose has gone red.

0:15:330:15:35

THEY LAUGH

0:15:350:15:38

THEY BLOW RASPBERRIES

0:15:380:15:39

Freddie!

0:15:410:15:43

Back in Nottingham, there's no time to be joking around.

0:15:480:15:51

The Icicles are still struggling just to make it through

0:15:590:16:03

their new Bollywood routine.

0:16:030:16:05

Contain yourself, we've got an hour and 20 minutes left.

0:16:050:16:08

Right, from the beginning, girls, let's go.

0:16:080:16:11

Think Bollywood.

0:16:110:16:12

Head up, Lucy.

0:16:140:16:16

If the girls can't nail it,

0:16:170:16:19

they're at risk of losing their title of British champions.

0:16:190:16:23

Because we're British champions,

0:16:240:16:26

the other teams straightaway want to beat you.

0:16:260:16:28

Head up, come on! Three!

0:16:360:16:39

OK, come in. The reason why I stopped the music

0:16:390:16:41

and I didn't carry on when

0:16:410:16:42

I wanted to carry on, is cos people are getting sloppy.

0:16:420:16:44

You guys had absolutely zero speed down.

0:16:450:16:48

I don't even know how you managed to do the spiral.

0:16:480:16:50

I just think she is, she's scared.

0:16:500:16:53

She's scared we're not ready. So...

0:16:530:16:55

We're scared, as well.

0:16:550:16:57

This needs to be neater.

0:16:570:16:58

The skippedy-skip, step-step, where is the pushing?

0:16:580:17:01

You've got to push.

0:17:010:17:03

Like, no time to chill in Bollywood.

0:17:030:17:05

Practice how you mean to go on.

0:17:050:17:07

Right, go quickly.

0:17:070:17:09

Because there's so many different arm movements,

0:17:110:17:14

it's really hard to get on time.

0:17:140:17:15

And it's one of the issues that our team definitely has.

0:17:150:17:18

Yeah.

0:17:180:17:21

It's really sharp and precise, whereas we're not used to that.

0:17:210:17:24

I was so stressed-out about it.

0:17:250:17:28

Girls, this end.

0:17:340:17:35

I'm just going to tell you this once,

0:17:350:17:37

you know how to do the death spirals, we worked on them plenty,

0:17:370:17:40

but you need to make sure you go in the same direction.

0:17:400:17:43

When Esther's stressed, we're stressed.

0:17:430:17:45

So then, everyone's just stressed.

0:17:450:17:47

That time, we had people stepping back...

0:17:470:17:51

We had people step into "ice" and then we had people stepping to

0:17:510:17:54

"Panthers" on the barrier there. Do you all understand that?

0:17:540:17:57

There wasn't one couple that were in sync.

0:17:570:17:59

We hadn't properly finished the programme.

0:18:000:18:02

We really... I didn't think we're ready.

0:18:020:18:05

There's no time to waste. Go again.

0:18:050:18:07

It's the evening of Charlie and Freddie's big race.

0:18:190:18:22

After all the fun of their sleepover, it's time to get serious.

0:18:230:18:28

I've totally lost my mind.

0:18:300:18:31

Not like in a crazy way, but...

0:18:330:18:35

Like, I just can't think.

0:18:350:18:38

I'm really nervous.

0:18:380:18:40

Before the races, I was like...

0:18:400:18:43

"Don't, no false starts, no penalties."

0:18:430:18:46

Next. I'm on the next race.

0:18:460:18:48

STARTING GUNSHOT

0:18:480:18:49

He's just got to stand still on the line.

0:18:510:18:52

As long as he does that, he'll be fine.

0:18:520:18:54

ANNOUNCER: Freddie, Charlie and...

0:18:540:18:56

Freddie and Charlie are in the same race.

0:18:570:18:59

They're skating three laps.

0:18:590:19:01

Basically, Freddie is faster than me.

0:19:010:19:03

If I was a rabbit, he'd probably be

0:19:030:19:05

like a peregrine falcon, going for me.

0:19:050:19:08

Only the first and second-placed skater

0:19:080:19:10

will make it on from this heat to the top final.

0:19:100:19:14

It's only a couple of laps.

0:19:140:19:16

It's really important to get a good start.

0:19:160:19:19

I was really nervous because I didn't want to get a false start.

0:19:190:19:22

ANNOUNCER: Go to the start.

0:19:250:19:27

Ready.

0:19:270:19:29

Come on, guys! Come on, go, go, go!

0:19:310:19:34

As expected, Freddie, in 41, takes the lead.

0:19:340:19:37

Charlie hasn't false-started, but he's in last place.

0:19:410:19:45

Go on, all the way to the line!

0:19:510:19:53

Freddie qualifies for the top final.

0:19:560:19:59

Charlie comes third and that's not all...

0:20:000:20:04

Charlie got a penalty because he got off-track,

0:20:040:20:07

so that puts him down in the bottom final.

0:20:070:20:10

That was terrible.

0:20:120:20:14

I lost a bit of balance and I went slightly out of the track,

0:20:140:20:17

trying to overtake him.

0:20:170:20:19

That race just went absolutely wrong.

0:20:200:20:23

Sometimes I just think...

0:20:270:20:29

HE SIGHS

0:20:290:20:30

.."Why?"

0:20:300:20:32

Charlie may not have made the top final,

0:20:360:20:38

but he still has to race in a lower one.

0:20:380:20:42

-ANNOUNCER:

-And they're away! Three laps.

0:20:440:20:47

Charlie takes an early lead.

0:20:470:20:50

-TRAINER:

-Body down, body down!

0:20:500:20:52

Can he hold on?

0:20:520:20:54

Shoulders down!

0:20:540:20:56

Coming close...

0:20:560:20:58

Keep your shoulders down!

0:20:580:20:59

And Charlie takes the win in the C final, group three.

0:21:040:21:09

He's done it.

0:21:090:21:10

Finally, my first!

0:21:120:21:14

My last race just went amazing.

0:21:150:21:19

Charlie did really well in that race.

0:21:200:21:21

He got very close to his personal best.

0:21:210:21:24

Nice one, Charlie.

0:21:240:21:26

Now it's the top final and Freddie

0:21:260:21:29

is facing a battle for a podium place.

0:21:290:21:31

It's hard to get to the top cos I'm younger than all the other people.

0:21:310:21:37

-ANNOUNCER:

-And they're away!

0:21:440:21:46

It's very neck and neck and Theo Collins

0:21:480:21:50

takes the lead this time.

0:21:500:21:51

Go on!

0:22:050:22:07

CHEERING

0:22:110:22:13

It was a hard race. I thought that it was going to come in third place,

0:22:130:22:17

but, surprisingly, I came second.

0:22:170:22:20

Freddie in second.

0:22:200:22:22

Take the trophies.

0:22:220:22:23

Come on, let's hear some noise.

0:22:230:22:27

Freddie has done very well in his races.

0:22:280:22:31

If your friend has done really well and you've not,

0:22:310:22:33

you'd feel very happy for them and if they're doing very, very well,

0:22:330:22:38

you'll be even more happy for them.

0:22:380:22:40

Well done, Freddie. You did really, really well today, didn't you?

0:22:400:22:43

I think I did really good.

0:22:430:22:45

Charlie, no false starts, that's really, really good.

0:22:450:22:48

Next year, I'm hoping to be as fast as a cheetah.

0:22:480:22:51

I'm really pleased with you today.

0:22:510:22:53

It's not really an animal, but I'm hoping to be as fast as light.

0:22:530:22:57

This summer, figure skater Elena moved to Nottingham from Russia...

0:23:080:23:12

Just need to go straight in to go do your warm-up.

0:23:120:23:15

..and today is her first big competition in the UK.

0:23:150:23:19

I'm excited because it's my first time at the British championship.

0:23:190:23:24

Everything is absolutely new for her.

0:23:240:23:26

Erm...

0:23:260:23:29

Difficult, difficult.

0:23:290:23:31

One, two and take off.

0:23:320:23:35

Try and move in the first, then the second, then the third one, OK?

0:23:350:23:40

I'm being positive about this today.

0:23:400:23:43

I think I can be on the podium.

0:23:430:23:46

One, two, three.

0:23:460:23:48

Yes. Very good.

0:23:480:23:50

Take off. Up.

0:23:500:23:52

She's hoping to become British champion.

0:23:520:23:54

The trouble is,

0:23:540:23:56

there are 40 other skaters

0:23:560:23:57

all hoping for the same thing.

0:23:570:23:59

And, for Elena, this is a new rink.

0:23:590:24:03

You will come down there and you'll come here and go that way.

0:24:030:24:08

APPLAUSE

0:24:080:24:11

OK with everything?

0:24:120:24:13

Yeah?

0:24:150:24:16

I really wanted to be on the podium.

0:24:180:24:21

I wanted to show everyone that it was right to come here.

0:24:210:24:24

Fighting for all, from beginning to end, fighting for all elements.

0:24:270:24:32

Come on, skating well, please, OK?

0:24:340:24:38

Be a strong girl. You can do that, OK?

0:24:380:24:40

Come on.

0:24:400:24:42

Elena's routine includes harder jumps

0:24:420:24:44

than many girls are even trying here.

0:24:440:24:46

It will mean big points IF she can land them,

0:24:460:24:49

and her trickiest jump is up first.

0:24:490:24:53

I was confident because I landed always.

0:24:550:24:59

But I fell on it.

0:25:010:25:03

I worried that my fall would bring my points down.

0:25:030:25:06

Falling so early in her performance,

0:25:080:25:10

Elena can't afford to let it knock her confidence.

0:25:100:25:14

I had to do all the rest of the routine good.

0:25:140:25:17

Wow! She's pulled it off.

0:25:510:25:52

No more falls and some really complicated jumps

0:25:520:25:55

right through to the end.

0:25:550:25:57

You're fighting very good.

0:25:570:26:00

Coach Gurgen sounds pleased,

0:26:000:26:02

but will that fall at the start cost Elena her spot on the podium?

0:26:020:26:06

Hi, darling.

0:26:060:26:09

Hello.

0:26:090:26:10

-Why did you fall?

-I don't know.

-You don't know,

0:26:100:26:12

you never fell from that.

0:26:120:26:15

When I sat watching all the other girls skating, I was nervous.

0:26:150:26:19

I thought some of them could skate better than me.

0:26:190:26:23

The judges are sleepy now.

0:26:230:26:25

As the last girl finishes to a massive cheer...

0:26:280:26:31

..Elena can't work out her final place.

0:26:320:26:35

I think we'll have to check.

0:26:350:26:37

-Yeah.

-Double-check.

0:26:370:26:39

She heads to the ice just in case she has made it to the podium.

0:26:390:26:42

In second place, from the National Ice Centre Nottingham, Elena.

0:26:450:26:50

She's done it! Second place.

0:26:530:26:55

Well done, Elena.

0:26:550:26:57

I was happy.

0:27:090:27:11

First British championship, silver medal.

0:27:140:27:17

Very happy.

0:27:170:27:19

It made me want to do more competitions,

0:27:200:27:23

to be the Olympic champion.

0:27:230:27:26

I'm in a rush to go home because my favourite cheesecake

0:27:260:27:29

is waiting for me -

0:27:290:27:31

triple chocolate with double cream!

0:27:310:27:33

After a summer alone, ice dancer Josh has some big news...

0:27:400:27:45

I've got a new partner, Lucy.

0:27:450:27:47

..and ice hockey player Reece gets an offer he can't refuse.

0:27:510:27:54

Reece, I love you and miss you.

0:27:540:27:56

Don't lie. Don't lie!
