Reporter: Tessa, Scott, thank you for your wonderful performance!
Scott: Reporters, you work hard today! Long day right?
Reporter: Thank you! How do you rate your short dance performance?
Tessa: It feels good. Our performance has been loved by the audience and is one step further than our performance at the Grand Prix races. We are happy that we have also played at home and abroad in Canada at home and in training. Being able to play consistently consistently is our constant goal this season.
Reporter: NHK, you have a few weeks time to prepare for, and then once again returned to Japan. What is the focus of your training during this period?
Scott: We made some changes to the details of the program during this period, with changes made in several places. More important is to restore the state, NHK we performed well, but after a while not in good condition, can quickly improve from low to state, we are more satisfied. We think today’s performance is even higher than before.
Reporter: Can you specifically talk about what changes have been made?
Tessa: Short dance changes are mainly to keep gliding speed, attention and accuracy at the foot. Free dance changes more. After NHK we flew directly to Toronto to David to find David Wilson to modify the program, before returning to Montreal. We’ve modified some of the places that we have to edit from the point of creation, making the story line clearer and more vivid. But the focus of training or pace, especially the diagonal, and music and choreography fit perfectly.
Reporter: You won the GPF last year, there is no pressure to defend this year?
Tessa: In fact, no pressure. This is a brand new season and everything starts from scratch. But the Olympic season, every athlete will come up with their best performance, the competition will be fiercer and fiercer.
Scott: And such a fierce competition is very exciting. It is our pleasure to be able to compete with the best ice dancers in the world. We are also ready to face such challenges. Of course, we want to defend, but did not take this as much. With the exception of Kaitlyn and Andrew, the best performers in the Grand Prix this season are pretty much the same, and that’s why we love the GPF, bringing together the best and best performers of the season to become one of them Members, it is already a great honor. Both I and Tessa are looking forward to Saturday’s free dance competition and today we enjoy the game.
Reporter: Tessa changed a new dress, can you simply talk about this new dress?
Tessa: This is the new dress we’ve designed with Matthew, and we’ve been looking for animal-related elements in our show. Cut and basically the same before, but the color and details have changed.
Reporter: Your training partner, the biggest rival Gabby and Guillaume now hold a total score of world records, for some of you will not let their own uneasy?
Tessa: Everyone keeps reminding us so it’s harder not to pay attention (laughs). We are all athletes and we all aim at the highest podium in Pyeongchang, so we also need to know the situation of opponents and the overall competitive performance of Ice Dance. We trained with Gabby and Guillaume that day, and we knew how good they were and we really appreciated them. They performed well this season, but also expected.
Reporter: Acquired Free Dance You will be faced with what kind of attitude?
Scott: Basically, as always, devote yourself to the show. We really like this show and have a strong emotional resonance with the show. This time we change the choreography, and we are also very much looking forward to finding the kind of passion and spark that we had at the beginning of programming. This is also the goal of our Saturday game to express and convey this passion.
Полное интервью в микс-зоне после КТ. Самое интересное об изменениях. После NHK сразу полетели в Торонто к Дэвиду Уилсону, чтобы переработать хореографию, сделать историю более понятной, добавили детали. В тренировках больше всего уделяли внимание дорожке шагов по диагонали, чтобы она полностью совпадала с музыкой и хореографией.
Прокат КТ считают лучшим в сезоне и очень рады, что аудитории понравилось.
Еще в начале Скотт спросил прессу, наверное вы устали после такого длинного рабочего дня
Ощущение, что нас ждут большие изменения.
