Destiny! | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
You might finally get to be a hockey player. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
If I do actually play in a team as a net minder, I'll be so happy. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
Don't cut the edges so tight. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
-Sorry. -When me and Lucy first got together, we got on quite well, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
but then we started arguing quite a lot. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
So the British championships are coming up really soon. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
We want to be British champions, don't we? | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
At the British, if nothing's improved, | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
then we're not sure whether we're going to carry on | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
skating together or not. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
Their future may be in doubt, but Jucy are determined that this | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
won't hold them back at the British Ice Dance Championships. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
Yeah! | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
It's time for Destiny to see if she's tough enough to follow through | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
with her ice hockey dreams. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
-Good! -It feels completely new, and I'm struggling. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
And, elite figure skater Josh takes on a very different | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
kind of challenge. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
Slow down, slow down. When I say slow down, you need to slow down. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
-It has to gradually slow down. -No, if you press the brake hard, it'll slow down. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
Come on, big, big, big. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
Forwards. Jump! | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
That's it! | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
Making it as an ice star is hard work. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
There's the early morning starts... | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
..intense training sessions... | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
One...and relax. Well done, girls, excellent. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
..the pressure of performing to a crowd, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
and a generous sprinkling of magic. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
It's something Destiny is just discovering. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
Yes! | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
She's mad about ice hockey, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
and dreams of one day playing for the women's ice hockey team, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
the Nottingham Vipers. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |
Hey! No cheats! | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Come on, Vipers! | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
I've always wanted to play for women's hockey team. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
Most people think ice hockey is mainly for boys, but really, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
anyone can play it. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
Woo! Go Vipers! | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
It's fast-paced and competitive. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
You have to be kind of a crazy and brave person | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
to go out and become a hockey player. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Come on, come on, come on! Yeah! | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Wooo! | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Five, four, three, | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
two, one! | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Woo! | 0:02:46 | 0:02:47 | |
Yes, we won! | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
I am so happy! | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
One person who knows all about ice hockey is star player Jess. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:58 | |
Last season, Jess broke her ankle during a speed skating competition. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
Since then, she's been dedicating a lot of her time to ice hockey. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
Destiny's keen to join a team as soon as possible. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
So she's hoping for some advice. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
For our league you have to be, like, 16 and over, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
so I started playing with the boys since I was a kid, | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
since I was about eight, nine. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
It really helped me to develop my skills, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
and it's helped me to play for the Vipers now. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
So would you think that would be a good route for you to go? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
I'm going to try and start with the boys and then work up. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
Good idea. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
I think when it comes to hockey, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
I think you kind of have to work quite hard. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
I think she wants to learn, and that's the key thing with kids. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
If they want to learn, they will develop so much quicker | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
and I think she has the attitude to it, | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
to be an ice hockey player, so I think she will go far in the sport. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
There's no doubt Destiny's ice hockey dream is real enough, | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
but the reality will be tougher than she could ever imagine. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
As she's about to find out. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
-Hi. -Hi. -All right? -Yeah. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Ice dancers Josh and Lucy have been a skating partnership | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
since the start of the season. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
They've been busy training for the British championships, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
but although they skate well together, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
Josh hasn't felt sure about continuing as a dance couple. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
I can never really tell if it's because of the partnership | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
or because he just doesn't enjoy it any more. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
The fact that that might all go away is, like, quite upsetting really. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:44 | |
Just ahead of the championships, | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
Josh has decided that, once that's over, so too is the partnership. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
I think the reason me and Lucy don't get on together | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
is because we're so similar in personalities. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
This is one of our last training sessions before the British, | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
but also one of the last ones that I'll be training with Josh. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
Kind of argue a bit too much. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
Hang on, look what we're tracing. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
What? You can't just stop! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:19 | |
You seem really hyper today, like normally you're so tired. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
-No, I am tired. -You said stop. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
Yeah, but you carried on one step, so I thought you were carrying on. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
That's part of the order though, isn't it? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
I am quite upset that the partnership isn't going to work out | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
and I think Lucy is really upset about it | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
because she wants to make the partnership work as well. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
I don't trust that Josh. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
Shoulder down. Lift the chin, | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
I want a big gap between your chin and your shoulder. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
I am really upset that it's coming to an end. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
Because we've put in so much hard work and effort | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
in the training this season | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
and I really enjoyed skating with Josh. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
Through the middle section after the step wide, | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
you're both looking in different directions, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
I'm stood in a similar place to where the judges will be, yeah? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
Acknowledge me, you know, I want to make eye contact with you, | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
I want to see your face. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
All right? Looking over in this direction both of you, | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
heads up, smiling. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Even though this will be Jucy's last performance together, | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
they've agreed to step up to the challenge of the British championships | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
and do everything they can to get a podium spot. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
Me and Lucy both know that we are going to be splitting | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
after the British, | 0:06:30 | 0:06:31 | |
but we're still going to go into the British and try our best | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
and try to win so that we can both finish the season on a high. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
We are still going to go for it. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
We're still going to try our hardest and show everyone | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
that we're still improving, even if it is coming to an end. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
You guys have come to a decision already about what's happening | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
after the British. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:56 | |
Putting all of that aside, I just really want you to focus this week | 0:06:56 | 0:07:01 | |
and just do the best you can do. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
You stand a really good chance of doing well. That's the goal. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
Figure skater Josh is a champion skater. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
But he's about to start learning a totally new set of skills. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-Is that your car? -Yeah, I picked it up today. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
Why didn't you tell me? | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:38 | |
Let me see. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
-Do you like the colour? -Yeah, I love colour. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-I think the white looks best, but it's going to be hard to keep clean. -Yeah, I was going to say! | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
This year I've just turned 17, | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
which means I can finally start learning to drive, | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
which is really exciting because it's kind of like | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
that first kind of freedom and independence you get. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Being able to drive yourself around, get to training and stuff. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
How are your lessons going? | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
I just have to concentrate so hard for, like, the whole hour. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. -How many lessons have you had? -It's just scary. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
So far, I've only had two, so I'm just hoping that | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
I don't muck anything up on the test otherwise I have to take it again. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
-Oh, yeah. -If I pass, I can give you lifts. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-I can't wait. -If you pay me. It's like a taxi. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
-This isn't for free. -Yeah, I know. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
-Thanks. -Like, where are we going to go? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
We're going to go to auditions together. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
We need to have our road trips mapped out. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
All right. Well, we're going to London, definitely. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
-At some point. -London. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
This is going to be the impression of us when I passed my test. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
-OK. -Are you ready? -I need loads of seat belts. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
Josh said that he wasn't nervous about driving, | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
but he is. Like, come on. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
Why wouldn't he be nervous? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
He needs to pass soon because I told him to. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
Destiny has always dreamed of becoming an ice hockey goalie. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
Also known as a net minder. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
Hopefully I don't fall over! | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
But before she gets the chance to stand in goal, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:11 | |
coach Matt needs to see her skate alongside the team. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
I'm really, really excited. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
I'm really excited and nervous. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-There you go. -Thank you. -Now you're good to go. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
Over the past year, her skating skills have improved massively, | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
but she still has one disadvantage. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
They all look a bit tall. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
When I first went into my hockey lesson, I felt kind of alone | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
because there wasn't many shorter people, | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
and I was the only girl | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
and I was a bit worried about getting knocked over | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
by one of the taller lads. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Towering team-mates are not the only problem. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
Try them on and make sure they're OK. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
-They are way too big. -A little bit too big. OK, so... | 0:10:02 | 0:10:06 | |
-Put that one on this one. -OK. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
This one. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:11 | |
OK, we will get you a stick. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
Before she can try out in goal, | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
the coaches need to see if Destiny has the right kind of attitude | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
to make it as a net minder. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:20 | |
Jump on nice and steady. On you go! | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
That's all right. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
Nobody saw you, you're fine. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
She's started to get a bit more nervous | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
in case the rest of them in the group are better than her, | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
but I suppose we've all got to start somewhere - | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
start at the bottom and work our way up. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
Watch out! | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
OK, what you got to think about now is there's more players on the ice, | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
so make sure you keep your head up, | 0:10:51 | 0:10:52 | |
because you nearly got run over by one player. All right? | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
Keep your balance, keep yourself on the end of the line so you don't get | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
run over, but that was really good. | 0:10:58 | 0:10:59 | |
Eh-up! What are you doing? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
It's a boomerang! | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
Oh, she's gone for a turn, and you stayed up! | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
Still smiling. Still smiling. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
And again. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:12 | |
After a shaky start, Destiny is starting to find her feet, | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
as well as her confidence. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
-Nice. -I take the doubt and turn it into a strength, | 0:11:18 | 0:11:22 | |
it gives me a boost, thinking I can actually do it. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
Nice. What I want to see you do now is, | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
I want to see you really push it in. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
A lot faster. I want to see a bit more aggressive skating. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
All right? Go as fast as you can, OK? | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
That's better, look at that! | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
that's totally different, a bit more aggression, that's good. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
That's better, you know, that's good, push hard. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
Go, go, go, go, go. Nice. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
Well, that was a lot better. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
You looked like a hockey player then. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
As you want to be goalie, I want to see a bit of backwards all right? | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
OK, off you go, let's have a look. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:58 | |
Turn around backwards again, Destiny. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Yeah, that's great. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
I really am pleased, how well you've improved, | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
you can see the hard work you've put in with your lessons. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
Maybe we can fast track you through because we are keen to get goalies, | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
especially girl goalies, we're really keen to get involved. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
Let's see you work hard, improve your skills, | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
and we'll look forward to getting you through | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
maybe to the club if we can. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:25 | |
That's great news for Destiny, | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
and Matt's eager to see how she copes when she's kitted up. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
I'm keen to get some goalie pads on her, | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
because I know that's her big target, | 0:12:34 | 0:12:36 | |
and I think she's got that bit between her teeth, | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
and I really want to see her progress. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
A full goalie kit can weigh around 20lbs, | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
so Destiny may have passed this stage of her test, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
but the hardest challenge is yet to come. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
-How was it then? -It was really fun. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
-Was it? -Yeah, I fell over. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
Going to get your kit off, yeah? | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
-Yes. -I fell over. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
Away from the rink, Josh's road trip plans with Kloe | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
will come to a standstill, unless he can pass his driving test. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
So today, he's getting some extra tuition. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
Morning, matey. Ready for some driving today? | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
We just need to practise the pulling off, cos I hate when you're waiting | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
at a junction, or whatever, I really don't like that. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
Think of it like learning a new skating element, | 0:13:36 | 0:13:38 | |
it's just a technique. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:39 | |
So far, I've only had a few lessons, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
so I'm still a little bit at the beginning. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
Josh is hoping that by swapping his turns, twizzles and axels | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
for mirrors, signals and manoeuvres, he'll become more independent. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
He's already bought his own set of wheels to practise in. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
Ta-da! | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
Did you look left to see what's coming down the road? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
No. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:03 | |
Learning how to operate and drive a car is slightly different to | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
learning how to jump and spin on the ice. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:10 | |
But definitely going to take the same mentality | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
that I take into skating into my driving lessons. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
Into second. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
Into second gear, please. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
-Come on. -Let's go, go, go. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
You should have moved into second gear quicker, though. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
But I don't like turning and changing gear, that's so scary. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
You need to get used to that. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:31 | |
Brake, brake, brake. Man in the middle of the road. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
OK, another van parked now, so have a good look before you go around. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
Right, drive round. That's it. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
I know you swing out to look, but don't swing out too far, yeah? | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
-This is like an obstacle course. -Breathing is good. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
It was like they all gathered together and they were like, | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
"Josh is driving today, let's all park on the opposite side | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
"of the road and make it really difficult for him." | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
# Shut up and drive... # | 0:14:55 | 0:14:58 | |
Slowly, slowly, slowly. Let's have a good look. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
There's a car coming, just stop there. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
-Perfect. -Sorry. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
Sorry. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:06 | |
Handbrake. What did you do wrong? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
-I didn't put the clutch in. -Clutch down. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
Every time you stop, clutch down. Off you go. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
That was rubbish. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
Slow down, slow down, slow down. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
When I say slow down, you need to slow down. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
-Second gear. -I have gone down into second. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
I know. The car doesn't magically go down to the speed you want, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
it has to gradually slow down. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
No, if you press the brake hard, it'll slow down. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
Neutral, neutral. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
OK. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
Stop panicking. Turn the ignition on, please. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
That's it. First gear. First gear. 1,500 revs. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
But, just like falling on the ice, | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
Josh picks himself up and things start to take a turn for the better. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
Lovely. That was great. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:51 | |
That was a great one, yeah? | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
Beautiful. There you go, see? What was wrong with that? Perfect. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
Second. Lovely, much better. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
My God, I even changed gear. | 0:15:58 | 0:15:59 | |
-Much better. -And turned at the same time! | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
-Much better. -Yes, Josh! | 0:16:02 | 0:16:03 | |
Slow down, slow down, up onto the drive. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
Perfect. And lovely. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
Right, that was great. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:11 | |
OK, you make one tiny mistake and you start flapping. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
Yeah? Don't flap, yeah? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
It was good. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:18 | |
It looks like Josh has the makings of a great driver. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
But if he is going to drive Kloe to the gala, | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
he's not got long to get rid of the L-plates. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
Say "silk" five times. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
Silk, silk, silk, silk, silk. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
What do cows drink? | 0:16:41 | 0:16:42 | |
-Water. -Oh! | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
After all the weeks of hard work and dedication, | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
tonight, Destiny has reached a milestone in her training. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
The coaches have decided she's ready to be kitted up | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
and put in goal. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
This evening, I'm going to be doing a session in goalie hockey kit. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
Body armour. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
Quite nervous about having pucks launched at me. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
I'm probably going to die. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
But Destiny hasn't done all this work to give up now. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
It's time to prove she's tough enough to be a net minder. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:17 | |
-Is that tight enough? -Yeah, good. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
Tonight, my friend Charlie is going to be the one | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
who's firing the pucks at me. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
Charlie, are you going to go easy on me? | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
If you're in goal, never think that anybody is going to go easy on you | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
because they're not. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:31 | |
I think I might get hit in the face. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
Yes, that's all I ever aim at. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
I don't think that Charlie is going to give me an easy time. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
Destiny has been fast tracked through her basic skating levels | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
as coach Callum believes she has what he is looking for. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
From watching her and coaching her, | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
you know, you get that feeling she is that gritty person. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
You know, she will get stuck in there. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
Neck guard. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
Once I had layered up most of the kit, | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
it felt quite heavy and I could barely move in it. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
Walking wasn't that easy either, because I had huge pads on. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
It was like an ostrich trying to fly, | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
because of how heavy the kit was. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:19 | |
Right, a big step down. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
Destiny is going to be having all this kit on, | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
it's going to be a whole new experience. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
I can't even skate in these! | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
Are you all right? | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
-Awkward. -Is it harder than you thought? | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
-Yes. -Is it? | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
Now that Destiny is getting a feel for skating in the kit, | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
it's time to finally get in goal. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
So, hold that position, get that stick in front, hold that, | 0:18:54 | 0:18:58 | |
bend the knees. Good, just put them pads... | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
Yeah, hold them pads. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
Feet together a bit more. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
Bend your knees more. Right, hold that position there, hold it. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
Bend in. That's it. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
Get ready for it, yeah? | 0:19:10 | 0:19:11 | |
Not too hard, Charlie. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
Oooh! | 0:19:14 | 0:19:15 | |
And again. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
-Oh! -I'm struggling quite a bit. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
It feels completely new and I'm struggling. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
There you go. And again. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
-Yes! -After about 15 minutes, I kind of gained confidence, | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
getting used to having all the equipment on. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:38 | |
Ready. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:39 | |
Oh! It's gone, it's there, you saved it! | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Charlie have a go. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
Just flick it. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:46 | |
Yes! She's doing well now. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:48 | |
She's been on a few minutes, she's getting position-wise. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
She's getting her gloves up, getting her stick in right, | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
she's saving a few pucks. It's good, good to see. Ready? | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
Good! | 0:19:57 | 0:19:58 | |
Well done. Are you sweating yet? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
-Tired. -Good girl. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
Whoa, nice! | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
Stick down! Oh! | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-Right, shall we get off then? Are you getting a bit tired? -Yes. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
Yes, that's fine. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:15 | |
Keep working hard and hopefully we'll see you again on this. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
Hopefully we'll get you onto a team eventually. | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
-If that's what you want to do. -Yes. -Has it put you off? -Yes. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
It's put you off...? No, you want to be a goalie! | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
-Yeah! -Good. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-Are they hurting? -Yes. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
It was quite different than what I expected, because it was tiring. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:36 | |
I didn't think it would be this tiring. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
But I think I might get used to it. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
Even the professionals find it hard at first. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
She just needs to keep going. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
The first time, it's a scary feeling. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
I think she'll get the pads back on and she'll realise actually she | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
does enjoy it, it is her dream to be a goalie. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
It surprised me a lot, for a first time goalkeeper to have a big power | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
shot from me, Destiny did very well. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-Get up. -I can't. -Yes, you can. -I can't. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
I saved a lot more than I thought I would, | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
and that made me quite confident to try and become a goalie. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
It's the weekend of the British Ice Dance Championships in Sheffield, | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
and skaters from all over Britain | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
have gathered to showcase their talent | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
and compete against the very best. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:27 | |
But after less than a season training together, | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
the couple are ending their partnership. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
They've improved immensely over the season, | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
and it's a real shame that they have come to that decision. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
Hello. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:45 | |
Jucy may be splitting up, but they want to give coach Sophie, | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
the judges and the crowd a winning performance. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
It would mean a lot to win because we have put a lot of hard work | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
into our dances. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:58 | |
We would finish the season on a good note, | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
even though we are splitting. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
We're just going to go out there and enjoy it, | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
make it our last skate together, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
and show everyone how much we've improved since we first started. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
You're just going through the motions a bit, | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
try and think about your performance a little more. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
Just keep a good, strong hold. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
Speed across the ice, strong, firm hold. Yeah? | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
It's very important that Josh and Lucy show off the potential | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
that they've got. There's lots of coaches around at the British, | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
lots of judges watching. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
Face, Josh, smile. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:33 | |
It's going to be tough for them. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
I think there will be a lot of emotions running through them | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
in terms of excitement and nerves, | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
and also the feeling that this is | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
going to be their last skate together. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
They were a little bit quiet when I first saw them this morning. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
A slight sign of nerves. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
But nerves are good because it gives you that little bit of adrenaline | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
to perform well. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:04 | |
A bit more strength in all these movements. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
Josh, face, come on. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
Last year, Josh and his previous partner Ellie came second. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
This time, he and Lucy are hoping to go one better | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
and be crowned British ice dance champions. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
I think we are going into it with quite a professional attitude, | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
just trying to concentrate on the competition. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
There is some tough competition in our category, | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
but we're just going to go out there and skate our best, | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
and hopefully win. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
'Next to skate, Lucy and Joshua.' | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
A place at the podium is at stake. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
But, just seconds into their routine, | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
Josh has a momentary lapse of concentration. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
AUDIENCE GASPS | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
AUDIENCE GASPS | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
When I tripped I was thinking, "Oh, no, this is going to go all wrong." | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
I tried to put the mistake out of my mind by not thinking about it | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
too much, and just concentrating on the rest of the moves in the dance. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
So that I didn't mess anything else up. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
I could tell that we were skating well, because it felt really smooth | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
through all the different moves and things, | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
and it felt really good to be able to skate like that | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
after I'd done a bit of a trip at the start. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
Wow, what a performance, Jucy! | 0:25:21 | 0:25:22 | |
But, for Josh's mum, | 0:25:26 | 0:25:27 | |
seeing him skating for the last time with Lucy is too much. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
-Are you happy? -Yes. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
What happened at the start? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
I thought you were going over the barrier at the start, Josh. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
Despite the hiccup, Jucy seem pleased with their skate. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
But what will the judges think? | 0:25:48 | 0:25:50 | |
'And the scores... | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
'45...' | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
Well done! | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
They've done it! | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
British gold medallists. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
We came into the competition knowing that afterwards we would be | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
splitting, but still we tried our hardest | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
and did our best skate, | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
and came first. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
So I was really pleased. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
I think it was a good thing to end the season on a high note. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
-I don't want to hold it on my own. -Have you got it? | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
No, you can hold it as well. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
Even though Josh has decided to end the partnership, | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
Lucy has no regrets about their time skating together. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
The British this year has been an amazing experience, | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
and I have really, really enjoyed it. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
Being able to skate with Josh has been such a privilege. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
Just showing that all our hard work has finally come together | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
and paid off. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:45 | |
And the size of the trophy, it was pretty big. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
-Do you want me to take the...? -I've got it. -Are you sure? | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
I gave Lucy the cup at the end of the competition | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
because I felt a little bit bad | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
because I knew that Lucy would be upset because we were spitting, | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
I thought that it would be a nice thing to do | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
so that she could keep it | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
and remember that she had become the British champion. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
-Lucy. -Oh, thank you! | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
Josh and Lucy had a fantastic season together, | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
they were skating really well. | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
There are so many factors that contribute | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
to making a successful partnership, but unfortunately, | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
not everything that needs to be there is there, | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
and it is sad that they are not going to skate together any more, | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
but the future is bright for both of them. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
I would hug you, but I know you don't... Oh, thanks. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
Next time on Ice Stars: | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
Destiny leaves net minding behind to take on yet another scary challenge. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
This is it. Can't back out now. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
-We're going to do it, OK? -Yes. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
It is really tough, and it's like against the best people in England. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:59 | |
I'm with you, OK? Come on, Joshy. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
And Josh and Kloe take on their toughest battle yet. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
I don't want to watch any of the other girls, | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
but obviously I'm going to be here to watch Josh. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 |
