00:00:30Especialmente el no conocido, puede ser peligroso.
00:00:33No es común para los atletes simplemente empujar a través de la dolor.
00:00:38Es simplemente construido en nosotros para entrenar a través de eso, para escalarlo.
00:00:44Siempre quieres ir por eso, pero a un momento, cuando tú crees que tal vez no debería haber hecho eso,
00:00:50tú estás ahí y hay mucha gente que está viendo.
00:00:53¡Vamos a la choc! ¡Evonne Mayes!
00:01:00También hay otro factor, que es el vestido.
00:01:04Están intentando hacer la escala, más holde el vestido,
00:01:07y no dejar que nada suceda.
00:01:11La pregunta en mi mente ahora es, ¿el mi cuerpo va a holdar?
00:01:15¿Va voy a bailar de un levantado o algo porque es dolor?
00:01:20¿Va voy a ser seguro para levantar Maddie?
00:01:31¡Va voy a bailar!
00:01:33¡Va voy a bailar!
00:01:36¡Va voy a bailar!
00:01:48Buena velocidad en el aire, sobre las paredes.
00:01:51La audiencia está en su lugar.
00:01:59¡Wow!
00:02:00¡Justo increíble! ¡No puede hacer eso!
00:02:08¡Wow! ¡This es increíble!
00:02:10¡Justo tremendo habilidad durante toda la performance!
00:02:13¡Yo puedo ver esto en el aire de Milano!
00:02:17Madre de la Bades de la United States de América.
00:02:19¡Y bien!
00:02:20Tengo una balda de Free Dance Scores de 127.8.
00:02:24¡No se puede sentir bien!
00:02:27¡Sabe, enrique, en América, Dance Champions!
00:02:34¡Vamos!
00:02:35¡Vamos!
00:02:36Adrenalinamente está en mi cuerpo y mi cuerpo no siente bien.
00:02:42Pero, ¿no hicimos lo que necesitamos hacer?
00:02:45Y estoy orgullo de eso.
00:02:47Los premios de Grand Prix son tan cerca, como sabíamos que iba a ser cerrado, pero esto es pura insalidad.
00:02:54No sabemos realmente cómo todo el premio de la final en Japón.
00:03:20Aqui.
00:03:21¿ getirás?
00:03:22Good how are you?
00:03:25Citada que estamos en Toronto enKO y vamos haciendo una grabación con Coca-Cola.
00:03:32Sierwise said I didn´t ride con coolóquita de Oz.
00:03:34Oh my goodness!
00:03:35I cannot look at my husband, he´s so handsome!
00:03:38Sería such a handsome woman!
00:03:40Se rijaliendo a Donald 1920rón y motionen!
00:03:45¡Action!
00:03:46There's always a little bit more pressure.
00:03:49In an Olympic year, there's just more going on,
00:03:51like, more eyes on the sport.
00:03:58So let's start, you guys, with twisting and turning.
00:04:01Do not look at camera.
00:04:03Lifting her a bit.
00:04:04Want me to lift you a little bit?
00:04:05Sure.
00:04:07Yeah, there you go.
00:04:09Great, great.
00:04:10With the Olympics, I feel like every four years,
00:04:12it's like a balance of finding time to train
00:04:14and get ready for the season,
00:04:16but also take once-in-a-lifetime opportunities
00:04:18like this one.
00:04:19Woo!
00:04:19This is a different amount of attention.
00:04:22But it's up to us to manage how we focus on what's important.
00:04:27The Winter Games in Milan Cortina now just 100 days away.
00:04:32We're getting closer and closer to, like, Olympics time.
00:04:35I am so excited.
00:04:39When you're halfway through a season,
00:04:40especially in Olympic season, you kind of can predict
00:04:44what might happen in ice dance results.
00:04:47But this year is very different.
00:04:49Madison Jock and Evan Bates as they take the title.
00:04:54Piper Gillis, Paul Poirier on top of the podium here
00:04:58in Skate Canada.
00:05:00With Guillaume and Laurence in the mix,
00:05:03everything has shifted now in ice dance.
00:05:06Usually it takes time for teams to gel.
00:05:10They have gelled extremely well.
00:05:16With what we've seen from Guillaume and Laurence
00:05:19at their last Grand Prix,
00:05:21they are definitely the ones to beat this season.
00:05:29If you are Piper and Paul, and if you are Madison and Evan,
00:05:33I don't see how you could not be a little rattled.
00:05:36So we're headed into Finlandia next week,
00:05:38and now you're going to have two top teams,
00:05:41Piper and Paul, meeting with Laurence and Guillaume.
00:05:44It's going to be a bloodbath.
00:05:46It's going to be a bloodbath.
00:05:47This is where all of the placements
00:05:49for the Grand Prix Final get solidified.
00:05:52And a preview of what's to come at Olympics.
00:05:56This doesn't happen a lot
00:05:57where you're up against one of the other top teams
00:06:00before the Grand Prix Final.
00:06:02So if Guillaume and Laurence beat Piper and Paul,
00:06:06holy cow.
00:06:08They need to have, like, the best material of their life.
00:06:11No pressure.
00:06:12Ain't nobody gonna save me, no.
00:06:27Oh, this one.
00:06:29This is my My Fair Lady costume.
00:06:33I loved the pink.
00:06:36I felt so elegant, and it was just so beautiful.
00:06:40If I could wear this now, which, well, maybe.
00:06:46I haven't really changed since I was 13, 14, so it's possible.
00:06:53Let's see.
00:06:54Oh, gosh.
00:06:55The 90s sweaters.
00:06:59All the top skaters had it.
00:07:01Actually, my mom, now I'm just remembering that.
00:07:04Any costume that we would have,
00:07:06she put a gold ladybug inside,
00:07:09because ladybugs are supposedly good luck.
00:07:13She was heavily involved in the design process,
00:07:17and I think that was, like, how my mom and I, like, truly bonded.
00:07:28She could turn anything into everything.
00:07:32With costumes, she could literally pull an idea and be like,
00:07:36this is what we're doing, and shape it into something beautiful.
00:07:41My mom was, like, the skater mom to everybody.
00:07:44She wasn't afraid to give her own opinion on your skating,
00:07:48which was just like, oh, mom.
00:07:50But, like, people loved it because she was so honest.
00:07:58Going into the 2018 Olympic Games,
00:08:03I started to notice some really bizarre behaviors.
00:08:08So I took her to see a doctor.
00:08:11Within about an hour, they were like,
00:08:13she's got some kind of tumor on the left and the right side of her brain.
00:08:16It was, like, spread out like a butterfly.
00:08:21And, of course, the first thing you do is go to Google, right?
00:08:24Like, if you have glioblastoma, which is what she had,
00:08:26and, like, the size of it, stage four,
00:08:29you have anywhere from five days to 15 months.
00:08:36It was just a complicated situation trying to figure out, like,
00:08:41do I stay home and help my mom?
00:08:45But my dad was like, this was an Olympic journey
00:08:49and an Olympic dream that she had, right?
00:08:51So we continued and decided to go for it.
00:08:58We made it to my first Olympic Games.
00:09:02My dad and my siblings were there to watch in person,
00:09:05but my mom was watching from home.
00:09:08And Paul and I had a skate of a lifetime.
00:09:13Complete split.
00:09:15Oh, now, that is very interesting and cool.
00:09:19There was a vision, there was the execution,
00:09:21there was the change in mood, a change in timing.
00:09:27To this day, like, I could still get goosebumps.
00:09:34What we created in that moment was so special.
00:09:40That just brings a smile to your face.
00:09:45Just a marvelous performance.
00:09:50And to know that my mom was able to see
00:09:54a Olympic Games,
00:09:58it was really cool.
00:10:00It was really cool.
00:10:14If we want to keep the same timing, we can do the swivel swivel,
00:10:17but if we're not going to do the point on the turn to the left,
00:10:20then it doesn't matter.
00:10:22Doesn't matter. Let's do it again.
00:10:23Okay.
00:10:24So, for our free dance, we call it Vincent,
00:10:27but a lot of people call it Story Night.
00:10:30It's a program we did seven years ago
00:10:33that put us on the competitive map.
00:10:37I don't know, I don't care how many times I've seen this program,
00:10:41it never fails to move me.
00:10:45When we were thinking about Olympic music,
00:10:47we kept coming back and thinking,
00:10:50we would really like to finish the story with Vincent again,
00:10:54because they never did it in an Olympic year.
00:10:57And that program meant a lot of different things
00:11:01to different people.
00:11:04It was the program we choreographed
00:11:05when Piper's mother was very ill before she died,
00:11:08and Piper's mother never got to see it.
00:11:12I actually remember hearing the first draft of Vincent
00:11:15on my patio in Colorado
00:11:17while we were kind of organizing all the funeral stuff.
00:11:20Story, story night.
00:11:22And I felt like, oh my God,
00:11:24this would have been a program that my mom would have loved.
00:11:27And as we started to compete it,
00:11:29every time I finished,
00:11:31I had a tear in my eye.
00:11:33I looked at the top of the arena,
00:11:36and I was just like, she's here.
00:11:38She's here.
00:11:39And like, I want that feeling.
00:11:40Like, I want to be almost like reconnected with my mom
00:11:42by bringing this program back.
00:11:45So pick it up from the corner, or?
00:11:49Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:50We'll take it from the corner, kind of the end.
00:11:52But then it's like, oh my gosh,
00:11:53now I have to kind of like bring myself back
00:11:55to a time that was so hard.
00:12:00Since we're recreating a program,
00:12:02the risk could be that it seems like
00:12:05you're not living for Bert.
00:12:06Yeah. Let's go for it.
00:12:07It's like something we all like.
00:12:09Okay.
00:12:10For us, it was really important to,
00:12:13not just to do it the way that we had done it before,
00:12:15but to take this piece of music
00:12:18that we feel really connected to, that we really love,
00:12:20and see where does that music take us now?
00:12:24I don't know what she's doing, so...
00:12:26Well, hold on.
00:12:28Programs are never finished across the course of the season.
00:12:31And as soon as you compete, it changes everything.
00:12:34I'm fine to leave it. I'm fine to leave it.
00:12:35It was just one thing that popped out in my own mind.
00:12:37We can put that on the list.
00:12:38Ski Canada was successful in the fact that we won,
00:12:43we have good feedback,
00:12:46but obviously the free dance for us was really disappointing.
00:12:49And there, that one moment.
00:12:52Just don't feel it's quite as polished as we're used to seeing from these two.
00:12:56It's gonna have to go up a notch, I think, as the season goes on.
00:13:00The overall goal is just to be faster, be closer, be stronger.
00:13:05But I think we know exactly now what we need to do to make it better.
00:13:08You are the artist. Like, I'm the painting and like...
00:13:12You know, it's the story about Van Gogh and his relationship to his art,
00:13:14and how he was not a painter that was appreciated in his time.
00:13:18Where are we taking it from?
00:13:19Uh, he said Mark the Limb.
00:13:20But it's also the story of us and our relationship with our own craft.
00:13:27I'm feeling really positive about the adjustments that we made.
00:13:30Sorry, that's okay.
00:13:32But really nervous for the Grand Prix in Finland.
00:13:53We're moving from the outside.
00:13:55You're moving the outside.
00:13:56We're moving the opposite.
00:13:56Oh, yes.
00:13:57We're moving that way.
00:13:58I'm feeling this more uncomfortable than me.
00:14:01Oh, God.
00:14:02You're moving.
00:14:03I'm feeling really nervous.
00:14:04I was feeling really nervous about that feeling,
00:14:05I'm feeling numb in his affairs.
00:14:05¿Para qué?
00:14:07No me hacía tan mal.
00:14:15Dos accélérations de 20 segundos.
00:14:18Dos flops de un minuto.
00:14:20Es difícil comparar los esfuerzos de bicicleta contra el skate.
00:14:24El bicicleta nos ayuda con nuestra tendencia general,
00:14:28pero lo que hacemos en el aire es mucho más difícil.
00:14:35Es difícil replicar en el aire, porque tienes que usar tus brazos, tus brazos y tu cuerpo al mismo tiempo.
00:14:46Aquí no tenemos que hacer que sea fácil.
00:14:49Es un movimiento repetitivo y lo hacemos.
00:14:51En el aire tenemos que ver que todo es fácil.
00:15:01Hay también ese aspecto humano,
00:15:03que cuando encuentras tus ojos de tu compañero,
00:15:07es como un intercambio de energía.
00:15:09Incluso cuando estás cansado,
00:15:10estás pasando en el mismo movimiento,
00:15:13y quieres el mismo objetivo,
00:15:14y estás poniendo más fuel en el fuego.
00:15:19Hay ese intercambio y conexión aspecto
00:15:21que es difícil encontrar en otro sport.
00:15:30Es decir,
00:15:32es decir,
00:15:33ser una princesa en el aire,
00:15:35y tú estás jugando con un compañero,
00:15:39así que estás jugando con un prince.
00:15:41Es como una fría,
00:15:43pero con eso,
00:15:48tu apariencia importa.
00:15:53Cuando era 15 años,
00:15:56me empezó a comparar a otras chicas,
00:15:59enviando otras chicas,
00:16:00porque siempre era una chica muy atleta.
00:16:02Y en ese momento,
00:16:04tienes que ser una ballerina en skates.
00:16:06Tienes que ser muy elongada
00:16:09y tener muy bonita líneas.
00:16:12En mi mente,
00:16:13el músculo estaba rompiendo las líneas.
00:16:17Así que,
00:16:18yo tenía un periodo de mi vida
00:16:20donde estaba pasando
00:16:21la fase de anároxia
00:16:23y bulimia.
00:16:27Creo que la palabra
00:16:29que puedo recordar
00:16:31en ese momento
00:16:32es realmente sentirse alone.
00:16:36No podía decir eso a nadie
00:16:38porque sabía que no era algo saludable,
00:16:41pero al mismo tiempo,
00:16:43me sentía que no había otra opción.
00:16:47Me sentí que era muy joven
00:16:49y me sentí que,
00:16:49para que seas mejor
00:16:52que la siguiente chica,
00:16:53tienes que figure
00:16:53cómo se atendó.
00:16:56Como,
00:16:57somos visto como la perfecta
00:17:00perfeita.
00:17:01No podemos ser solo
00:17:03atleta,
00:17:04también tenemos que ser creativos,
00:17:06también tenemos que ser hermosa.
00:17:08Cuando se despecajamos
00:17:09en el aire,
00:17:09no es solo que se encarga
00:17:11por lo que haces en el aire,
00:17:12pero cómo haces,
00:17:14cómo lo haces,
00:17:14cómo lo haces,
00:17:15cómo haces.
00:17:16Her costumes were ugly.
00:17:18About hair, about makeup.
00:17:19Did she wear too much makeup, too little makeup?
00:17:22About weight.
00:17:22Your facial expressions, how you're emoting on the ice.
00:17:25You're too young, you're too immature, too muscular, or not muscular enough.
00:17:29Do I like that color? Is that dress pretty?
00:17:32About everything.
00:17:35And then you're trying to please nine judges on today's panel, but then another nine on tomorrow's panel.
00:17:45What helped me the most was to open up with the people closest to me.
00:17:53And I think there was a lot of healing done through years, you know, through years.
00:18:00And just thinking that if I had to do this to somebody else, I wouldn't.
00:18:04So then I thought, why do they do this to me?
00:18:08Hello!
00:18:11And I just thought about, like, if that was my little girl, like, how would I react?
00:18:19Bonjour tout le monde!
00:18:21Est-ce que ça va bien?
00:18:23Oui!
00:18:25It's not something that you fix in one day.
00:18:28It's not something that you can just snap your finger and it goes away.
00:18:33Je ramène mes orteils ensemble! Ramène les orteils ensemble!
00:18:37The hardest thing is to find what's unique for you and let go of that self-criticism and use the
00:18:46tools and the community and the team that you have around you to help you.
00:18:51Les mouvements. Mais les mouvements, ça vient de vous.
00:18:56Ça vient de votre cœur.
00:18:57If there's something I always want to share, it's that I want them to remember that they are unique.
00:19:04Vos entraîneurs vont vous donner une base de mouvements.
00:19:07Mais c'est ce que, comment toi tu vas l'interpréter, comment toi tu vas interpréter le mouvement, comment toi
00:19:12tu vas interpréter le mouvement.
00:19:15C'est ce que tu veux dire.
00:19:15Donc, tu ne veux pas opérer un mouvement, tu veux prendre un mouvement et faire ça de taille.
00:19:21C'est ce que tu veux.
00:19:25C'est ce que tu veux.
00:19:26Je vous souhaite vraiment que, en sorte de faire de skate comme moi et Guillaume, nous pourrons, que nous pourrons
00:19:35que, avec des corps athlétiques, tu peux gagner.
00:19:46Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:19:47Welcome to Helsinki.
00:19:50This is one of the deepest Grand Prix dance fields I have ever seen.
00:19:55Of course, this is the final Grand Prix qualifier in this year's series.
00:20:00Biggest, biggest showdown.
00:20:02Gillis and Poirier versus Fania, Beaudry and Cizeron.
00:20:05Who's coming out on top?
00:20:06Guillaume and Laurence, Piper and Paul.
00:20:10It's an insane event.
00:20:11It's do or die at these Grand Prix events.
00:20:14If you don't make the podium, you're not going to the Grand Prix Final.
00:20:18I want to say it's like the Hunger Games.
00:20:21Gillis and Poirier have had now three weeks to tinker.
00:20:24I think the question is, how much will that help them increase their scores?
00:20:42We've just arrived in Finland. We're doing our second Grand Prix of the season.
00:20:47So in order to qualify for the Grand Prix Final, we want to win the competition.
00:20:58Every competition is kind of a check mark into the confidence aspect.
00:21:03Right now, I would say I feel pretty chill.
00:21:06Before Angers, it felt okay, but it was like kind of a safety mode.
00:21:12Yeah.
00:21:12And now we're more like in a more like attack mode.
00:21:15Yeah.
00:21:28It's a very exciting life at competitions.
00:21:30You just kind of spend a lot of time in your room taking care of your body.
00:21:35We did a lot of changes to the program since Skate Canada.
00:21:38And so it felt a little bit chaotic, especially the first week coming back.
00:21:43And my brain felt like I had to do a lot of gymnastics to figure out,
00:21:47to get comfortable with everything again.
00:21:49But I'm feeling really positive about those changes.
00:21:52You're so used to doing it a certain way. You've built that muscle memory.
00:21:56And when you make those changes, even if they are positive changes,
00:22:01it takes time to get used to it.
00:22:06We've probably changed about 25% of this program.
00:22:12In the two weeks that we had.
00:22:16But I think, I mean, it was definitely for the better.
00:22:18I think Paul and I feel way more comfortable with what we've changed this program to.
00:22:27I, I'm more nervous when I'm doing nothing.
00:22:31Um, I think just like the waiting and sitting around is the worst part.
00:22:38I get the most nervous on a bus ride.
00:22:59Piper and Paul's first test to see how do they stack up in that race to the gold medal in
00:23:06Milan,
00:23:07is how will they fare at this Grand Prix in Finland against Guillaume and Laurence.
00:23:13Welcome to Helsinki in Finland for this Finlandia trophy rhythm dance.
00:23:18We have a gold medal favorite who has no world placement from the year before.
00:23:22going head to head to head with somebody who's seated.
00:23:27This is like not a normal circumstance.
00:23:32Helsinki, are you ready?
00:23:36Helsinki, are you ready?
00:23:37Helsinki, are you ready?
00:23:39Helsinki, are you ready?
00:23:42Helsinki, are you ready?
00:23:43Work together.
00:23:44Look after each other.
00:23:45That's the way it always works the best, right?
00:23:47We know this.
00:23:49And the pressure has never been so intense.
00:23:53The energetic expectations of these teams heading towards the big one.
00:23:59The Olympic Games.
00:24:09In the ice dance competition, on a technical panel,
00:24:12they will assign a level to the elements the skaters skate.
00:24:15That can be anything from a base level to the maximum level four.
00:24:22The quality of blade control, so, so impressive.
00:24:25And that is clear criteria for the judges.
00:24:29We have come to expect that skaters of the caliber of Laurence Guillaume, Piper and Paul,
00:24:35they'd be pushing level three and level four.
00:24:37Their musicality and energy really evident throughout that rhythm dance performance.
00:24:44I hope for a season best. That's the first thing.
00:24:47But to be in first position, they would have to be around 84, 85, 86.
00:24:53Exactly.
00:24:54Any more than that would be a bonus.
00:24:56Any less than that, I'll be a little disappointed.
00:25:00Slight break there for Piper.
00:25:02Lots of ice coverage through the sequential twizzles.
00:25:08Such quality in the body control of these two athletes.
00:25:12It's really, really crisp.
00:25:18It's been a good skate.
00:25:22Great job, guys.
00:25:23Thank you.
00:25:23Well done.
00:25:24Well done.
00:25:25Good job, guys.
00:25:27Good job.
00:25:28Thank you.
00:25:30Laurence and Guillaume, they have three elements under review at present.
00:25:37The nice dance, the technical specialist, the technical controller, they can bury somebody because it is so subjective.
00:25:47And now it's a level one for their pattern dance type step and a level one for both of the
00:25:53skaters.
00:25:56The scores, please.
00:26:12Level one is normally a level more assigned to skaters of far less experience.
00:26:19Our skating community is rocked by the concept that the Olympic champion can be deemed only worthy of a level
00:26:25one.
00:26:25And here, just a look at the back bracket.
00:26:29This is a fucking sabotage.
00:26:32I can't believe it.
00:26:34They just showed my fucking bracket to slow down.
00:26:38No team going above 80 thus far.
00:26:41Now, Piper Gillis and Bob Poirier under review by the panel.
00:26:46Good job. I'm very proud of you.
00:26:47Thank you.
00:26:48No matter, you know.
00:26:50Yeah.
00:27:00Let's not overanalyze.
00:27:03No.
00:27:03And that's some harsh calling by the technical panels.
00:27:08What happened?
00:27:09You got a base on it.
00:27:10But your arms were identical.
00:27:12You were...
00:27:13I couldn't see the numbers.
00:27:16It was crazy.
00:27:18Piper got base twizzles.
00:27:19I don't think she's had a base twizzle in her entire life.
00:27:22In anything.
00:27:23Ever.
00:27:26I'm kind of surprised about, I think, all the levels throughout the competition.
00:27:31It's unfortunate that, like, the top athletes in the world are getting level ones.
00:27:36It looks like we're almost junior skaters.
00:27:38And it's not.
00:27:39Like, no one should be getting bases, level ones, at this caliber of skating.
00:27:44Does that make you, in the future, want to continue to be involved in the sport?
00:27:49If it continues like that, it's a hard pass.
00:27:53We're very well trained to not get carried away with all the judging.
00:27:58But in this case, it was just so unfair that, like, we couldn't stay silent.
00:28:04Thank you for not leaving me by myself.
00:28:07No, it was so... I literally had prepped that in my head.
00:28:10And then you started and I was like, yes.
00:28:12I can rationally comprehend the levels that were assigned.
00:28:15I can understand why those levels were given out.
00:28:19The difficulty is that it's a different lens and framework that has been used for the calls here
00:28:26than it has been for so many events previously.
00:28:31The ISU said that they are now investigating the dance event at that competition
00:28:36and the way it was judged.
00:28:37My hope is just that we can see an effort being made
00:28:42to make sure that teams understand why they are getting these levels.
00:28:48Yesterday doesn't change anything.
00:28:50They'll just come out and skate their program.
00:28:52They know what to do.
00:28:54They have their plan in their head.
00:28:55They know how they need to approach it.
00:28:57And that's what they'll do.
00:29:03Next escape deck, Piper Gillis, Paul Corriere!
00:29:10On the ice, your last four-year-old green, Guillaume Cizemore!
00:29:16We need to run!

00:34:37El equipo se levantó como nadie más en el mundo.
00:34:42Tanto confianza y belleza.
00:34:46Nos sentimos que realmente nos entregamos un buen skate.
00:34:50Chalk and Bates con la oportunidad de conseguirlo en el podio por la primera vez.
00:34:54Y terminamos en el cuarto lugar, justo en el podio.
00:34:57El margen por error es tan pequeño.
00:34:59Me and I stand.
00:35:03After we had the kind of Olympic heartbreak, we packed all that stuff away and we didn't want to even
00:35:10wear the gear.
00:35:16Just the reminder, I think, was really difficult.
00:35:27So it was hard in that moment to commit to another four years after that Olympics.
00:35:35You didn't do coffee to go?
00:35:36Yeah, but in my heart, I think I knew we weren't done.
00:35:55A few years ago, I started kind of feeling ill, just nauseous and like period-like pains, specifically on the
00:36:04left side.
00:36:06And I always had bad periods, but I was like, I'm not having my period right now, but something's happening.
00:36:11And then eventually got in contact with my current doctor.
00:36:22And then on my birthday, January 16th, 2023, the results came in.
00:36:28And then, of course, I opened it and I was like, oh, cancer.
00:36:32Crap.
00:36:36I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, stage one.
00:36:41It was so, so scary.
00:36:45It's like, am I going to have to stop skating?
00:36:47Am I going to have to like go through chemo?
00:36:50There was so much unknown.
00:36:52I was lucky enough to just have surgery.
00:36:56Like, we didn't know how bad it was because it was a nine centimeter cyst with the tumor bleeped attached
00:37:03to it.
00:37:04But I got really lucky to not have to do like any other treatment, just follow-ups.
00:37:11Hello.
00:37:12Hi.
00:37:12How are you?
00:37:13Good.
00:37:14How are you?
00:37:14Long time no see.
00:37:15I know.
00:37:16It's anything new since your last visit.
00:37:19Pretty much everything's been similar.
00:37:22Okay, perfect.
00:37:23Yeah.
00:37:23And no aches or pains, any changes in periods or anything like that?
00:37:28Everything's good.
00:37:29I think it's totally normal.
00:37:30Okay, perfect.
00:37:30Yeah.
00:37:31I'm doing well.
00:37:32Like, I'm currently cancer-free.
00:37:33It took about two and a half years for me to like feel like myself.
00:37:37What I've learned was like I just had to be a little bit more patient with myself.
00:37:41Like, I couldn't expect myself to be 100% Piper.
00:37:46Because that 100% Piper isn't there anymore.
00:37:49So all good news from the ultrasound point of view.
00:37:52So that's awesome.
00:37:53Okay.
00:37:54All right.
00:37:55So we'll see you in six months.
00:37:56Okay.
00:37:56Yeah.
00:37:56Any problems?
00:37:57You know where to find me?
00:37:58Yep.
00:38:01Having to experience my mom's cancer battle and my cancer battle, I think I fought for her.
00:38:12You know, I fought to just live the life that she couldn't see, you know?
00:38:16And if she could see me and like what I'm up to, she'd be proud.
00:38:26It's just made me appreciate every moment in life.
00:38:30It's like every day I get to wake up and go to the rink.
00:38:34It's a blessing.
00:38:42Even if it's hard.
00:38:47Ah, you're waiting too long.
00:38:51You're waiting too long.
00:38:53You know, I'm glad I get to go through the hard stuff.
00:38:55Because the alternative is way worse.
00:38:59Ah, it felt good.
00:39:25Last week, I've received the message with the confirmation that I had obtained my French citizenship.
00:39:43So, I'm at the consulate of France in Montreal for the actual physical passport.
00:39:59This is a very special moment.
00:40:10It's very special also to me because I have family and friends.
00:40:14So, it's more than just for skating.
00:40:20I'm extremely grateful to have that opportunity.
00:40:25It's very exciting.
00:40:48I feel like it'd be fun to open a tea shop.
00:40:50I feel like that would be fun.
00:40:53Matcha.
00:40:53That would be fun.
00:40:54So, candles and incense.
00:40:56Maybe more incense than candles.
00:40:58Hmm.
00:40:59I know what I want to do once I retire.
00:41:01I'll be a librarian at your shop.
00:41:05I like this life for us.
00:41:06I'm excited about it, actually.
00:41:08It's my favorite yogurt from Japan.
00:41:11So, there's something really special about the yogurt lids in Japan.
00:41:15If you drop yogurt on them, none of the yogurt stays on the lid.
00:41:22It just rolls right off.
00:41:26It's magical.
00:41:28It's magical.
00:41:28This society is superior.
00:41:30They are living in the future.
00:41:33I'm so grateful to be here, because there was a moment there where I thought, I might not
00:41:38see you in Japan.
00:41:39Skate America was not fun.
00:41:41I was just having a flare up with my back, and so I just took time off after Lake Placid.
00:41:46And I felt so much better.
00:41:47I think we both needed a little break.
00:41:49Hmm.
00:41:50And when we got back on the ice, it was, we were just, all systems go for Japan.
00:42:02Let's talk about the Grand Prix Final.
00:42:04It is the Grand Prix Final.
00:42:05It is the best of the best going head to head.
00:42:08This is like the final frontier.
00:42:10This is what we've kind of all been waiting for.
00:42:14For this Olympic season, it's the first confrontation of the six contenders for the Olympic podium.
00:42:21I expect for the top three to be some combination of Werner-Beautry-Sizeron, Chalk and Bates, Gilles and Poirier.
00:42:34I gotta give my vote of confidence to Piper and Paul.
00:42:38I feel like you have the gold medal favorites of Chalk and Bates.
00:42:42I just really cannot see anybody beating Mulan and Guillaume.
00:42:46I think it can be very close.
00:42:49Honestly, I cannot tell who is going to win in this case equally.
00:42:56Watch me do it like this, this, this, this, this, this, this.
00:43:07I'm so conscious of the cleanliness, the crispness and the match stylistically in this team.
00:43:23It's very hard to debate the quality of this team, no matter who your favorite team is.
00:43:29Laurence and Guillaume just move with such quality.
00:43:34Every day we cause a scene, I walk in all eyes on me.
00:43:42Let's go.
00:43:44Watch me do it like this, this, this, this, this, this.
00:43:47Madison and Evan, they can do stuff that Laurence and Guillaume couldn't do in their very early stages of their
00:43:54partnership.
00:43:54Let's go, break it down.
00:43:55Take me through this, this.
00:43:56Back to you, this.
00:43:56Look this don't have to win.
00:44:03Check me through this, and see if you think you can do it,
00:44:13You've never clicked.
00:44:13Look it.
00:44:19See if you were German, they want to play Central Nation.
00:44:20In this case when Christians student conversation,
00:44:21I went to go recherch Zak and 단ội study.
00:44:29¡Gracias!
00:45:03¡Gracias!
00:45:04Para ser muy preciso, bien respetar las cerdas, estoy muy tranquilo.
00:45:08Dejadlo glider, no te forneces nada.
00:45:33¡Suscríbete al canal!
00:45:41And then when we released to go for the exit, I had a big chunk of it, and I just
00:45:46let it go.
00:45:47It kind of slipped underneath my blade, and then at that point, like, you can't skate on fabric.
00:45:55Maddie's the most classy, stylish, well-dressed woman, and it's like she's the victim of her own brilliance when it
00:46:04comes to costume making.
00:46:05And now that dress, it's making me nervous, so I don't know how she's coping.
00:46:12It's a feeling, like, with anything, I think, any skirt, like, the other girls also have long skirts.
00:46:18So it's just being aware and, like, finding that sense of awareness while you're out there skating.
00:46:34Final day of competition for the Grand Prix.
00:46:37After the first group of skaters, the British team temporarily hold the lead.
00:46:42And that certainly places pressure on Piper and Paul, who will open the next group.
00:46:48On the eyes, Representative Zanowar.
00:46:51That is particularly exhilarating and exciting, of course, because it is the Olympic season.
00:46:57We see the real battle for the podium start to shake out now.
00:47:00Very close, the top between Chalkin Bates and Cornier, Beaudry, and Cizeron.
00:47:07Also close for that third place podium spot.
00:47:11Every single move will be important.
00:47:16It would be understandable that the couples would be cautious and want to play it safe and skate cleanly.
00:47:22But unfortunately, the battle is so intense that they can't have a cautious performance.
00:47:28It has to be an aggressive, attacking performance.
00:47:33Getting to that mindset, okay?
00:47:36No distraction, just another day in the office.
00:47:40Okay.
00:47:40Okay?
00:47:41Take one step at a time.
00:47:42Yeah.
00:47:43You got this?
00:47:44Yeah, we got this.
00:47:46All right.
00:47:48I'll get it then.
00:47:52See you after.
00:47:53Yep.
00:47:53Piper Gillis and Paul Poirier of Canada, they need to score 125.93 points to guarantee a podium spot.
00:48:024-0, Piper Gillis, Paul Poirier組, Canada.
00:48:34Thank you.
00:48:38Es muy especial para venir aquí a este evento y es increíble de pensar en todo el año que hemos
00:48:45skado juntos.

00:49:08Yo no me voy a ir sin él.
00:49:14i'm just so struck by how unique the lives that we've been able to live are those experiences
00:49:21those stories those relationships those are the things i'm going to cherish the most
00:49:31you just take this leap of faith that you found the right partner and i know i definitely did
00:49:42the way in which each element is interwoven and the the way in which this is constructed you don't want
00:49:48to interject with words i love it beautiful oh my goodness
00:50:01they need 125.92 points to tie for third point nine three would guarantee them a top three
00:50:10spot going to be very close between them and lila fear and lewis gibson as they wait for their scores
00:50:19125 86 the total competition score of 208.75 most likely move them off the podium
00:50:29six one hundredths separate one hundredths very close wow goodness gracious that is so close
00:50:38all good that's a bit of a shocking result for me
00:50:45despite skating well piper and paul find themselves out of the conversation for gold
00:50:50there are a host of questions now for piper paul and their team as to how they can get back
00:50:56in
00:50:57favor with the judges what can be done moving toward the olympic games
00:51:04i don't want to go into the rest of the year having to like skate amazing like that and have

00:53:42Este año en particular ha presentado unos desafíos para nosotros.
00:53:48Todos los objetivos que hemos puesto para nosotros están en frente de nosotros.
00:53:52Este equipo ha llevado a dar un gran esfuerzo para poder ser campeón de límite en Milan.
00:53:59Estoy tan feliz de que encontré la oportunidad de pedir a Laurence a escasez conmigo.
00:54:04Es importante desistir, mirar cómo llegamos y cómo se han crecido juntos.
00:54:11Esta es la primera vez que se han realmente sentido el calor de otro equipo,
00:54:17kind of nipiendo en sus pies.
00:54:20Todos los años de trabajo difíciles, nos dejamos no esternos.
00:54:24Y lo hicimos juntos.
00:54:26Esto ha sido el problema de la primera vez en práctica.
00:54:32¡Vamos!
