00:09I was stopped in London when I felt it coming down
00:15Crushing all around me with a great triumphant sound
00:44It's a Cinderella return to the ice for Adriana Russo with new partner Braden Elliott
00:50Already being called the hottest couple on ice
00:58Ice dance is so simple compared to what we do
01:01No jumps, please
01:03Yeah, but it's twice as hot
01:05It's not just on the ice
01:06Did you see what Adriana got up to after hours?
01:23She's going to worlds with this routine
01:26You don't agree?
01:28That article may count against them
01:30Frasier wrote a real hit piece
01:34Skating Federation doesn't like dirty laundry hung out over the ice
01:37And they may mark them down just because
01:40Because what?
01:41Because they can, Will
01:46You can really feel the connection between these two
01:56They've not made a single misstep in this routine
01:59They are sure to qualify for worlds
02:01It's weird watching her with Braden
02:02I always thought she'd get back with Freddy
02:04And you know, they'd be like, together, together
02:07Well, I mean, but Braden's a total catch
02:10Yeah, I'd catch him
02:11Shh, children
02:14Braden has a rep for a reason
02:20This time I know I'm fine
02:24This time I know I'm back in my body
02:31Back in my body
02:33Oh, oh
02:59Ready?
03:01Beyond
03:05That was incredible
03:07Skate us last night
03:11Go ahead
03:12Thank you
03:12Okay, Miss Bucket, showing us how it's done
03:16Thanks, Fras
03:18Flawless
03:18Flawless
03:19Really?
03:20Great skate, Aidy
03:22Amazing monster
03:25So good
03:27Thanks, Dad
03:28I had my doubts
03:29But I never bet against Camille
03:31That's good
03:32Monroe and O'Connell
03:33Prepare to take the ice
03:35Okay, guys
03:35This is your moment
03:36Thanks
03:44Stout
03:48For Adriana Russo and Braden Elliott
03:50A combined score of 89.27
03:56That's a solid score
04:03Bristol and Elliot
04:04In second place
04:05Behind the Vulture Skaters
04:07Wait
04:08They deserve a much higher score than that
04:10This is not good
04:11It's almost as if the judges are sending them a message
04:14Wait your turn
04:16Or don't gossip to magazines
04:18Now taking the ice
04:20Now taking the ice
04:20Also from usually
04:21Riding in road
04:22Riding in road
04:23Regular time
04:31Hey
04:33Second place is enough to qualify
04:35Only if they have a bad skate
05:02I've waited a hundred years
05:07I'd wait a minute more for you.
05:18Look, I thought, yeah, I'm totally Team Freddy.
05:21No way. Team Brayden all the way.
05:24Yeah, but only one Russo pair is going to qualify for Worlds.
05:27Someone pass the awkward sauce.
05:42Monroe and O'Connell recently switched coaches to join Camille St-Denis at Russo Rink.
05:46A move that's clearly paying off your qualifiers.
05:49They may knock their teammates out of a qualifying position.
06:21You don't need to be so enthusiastic.
06:24My teammates and my friends.
06:32Miss Seesaw crushing it.
06:35That's so good.
06:37Amazing, you beautiful humans.
06:41So proud of you.
06:41Thanks, come on.
06:50You're good?
06:50Yeah, feels good.
06:51O'Reilly Monroe and Freddy O'Connor.
06:53A combined score of 90.54.
06:57Yes.
07:00I'm so proud of you.
07:02That puts the pair in second place to qualify for Worlds.
07:06Behind Sean and Destiny from Voltage.
07:08This is all kinds of bad.
07:09Beating out Adriana Russo and Brayden Elliott, who will not advance to Worlds.
07:34Okay.
07:40that article killed our scores i warned you about doing that interview but you wouldn't listen to
07:45me leon you're blaming me god why did your family just keep their mouth shut judges hate that stuff
07:51don't make this about my family no they're more like a cult of personality yeah the legendary
07:56will russo yeah he could do no wrong am i right you're the one with the reputation but what the
08:01bad boy of figure skating or are you just a bad loser you were supposed to be good for my
08:06reputation
08:06not sink my entire season our season do you have any idea how hard i had to work to be
08:13here i had
08:13other options maybe i still do voltage was offering me a pick of partners anything i ever wanted
08:24hey okay don't throw this away brayden we are good together remember yeah yeah we were
08:36just not good enough brayden brayden
08:49what the hell is this a distraction to keep her mind off that article i was very clear about my
08:56conditions you don't follow my rules you can't skate at my rink fine we didn't qualify anyway it's over
09:02just like your pathetic dynasty
09:21oh sweetheart
09:25i thought we had it i know i know sometimes the judging just doesn't go our way
09:32but we can rebuild and next season you'll have a whole runway to train on and with everything
09:37brayden's gone will what did you do me he had her out last night till god knows when making out
09:46at a
09:46club caught on camera did you know about that it's all over the internet 80. bradrian hottest couple on
09:51ice what did you say to him i just reminded him of the rules you want to train at russo
09:56rink you got
09:56to follow you sabotaged me what you persuaded me to leave freddie and now you've chased off my only
10:05real chance at a medal that's not fair no it's not you never believed in me not like elise and
10:12now i've
10:12got no one to skate with so so now what i go back to managing your rink
10:20and you let it slide into bankruptcy
10:25it's a good thing mom is not here she'd be ashamed of you
10:40never been a dreamer until i met you
10:47never been a dreamer made me a believer with all the things you do
11:01how am i the bad guy here you're the father of teenage girls i think that's basically the job
11:06description i can't seem to get it right but i'm getting it wrong every single day
11:13if you're not failing you're not trying that's my line coach
11:20the more i try to hang on to them the more they pull away well they're walking away from you
11:26with
11:26every step and you know that's as it should be they have to become independent young women
11:35your girls are doing it in skates so it's going to feel a whole lot faster
11:41right they don't need you to be their coach will
11:45they need you to be their dad you think she's right would sarah be uh ashamed
11:57before sarah died right near the end she asked me to stay in your lives
12:05to look out after the girls and you
12:09and i promised her i would and while there have been days where keeping that promise has had its
12:17challenges the one thing i have never questioned will is how much you love your girls
12:27and how proud sarah would be of you
12:36because here's the thing will i mean you're not raising kids you're raising adults
12:41and you have to let them go through everything in a safe
12:48loving space that you provide so they can come out on the other side as women worthy of sarah russo's
13:24that's
13:49Team Russo, next stop, Paris.
13:52Yep.
13:53Congratulations to Sean and Destiny.
13:55And to O'Connell and Munro.
13:57Top form, really.
13:58Thanks.
13:59But I guess the hottest couple on ice
14:01couldn't quite bring enough heat.
14:03Excuse me.
14:07You don't have to gloat.
14:08Hey, I'm impressed.
14:10You landed a spot at Worlds
14:12and you took Adriana from zero to 60 in record time.
14:15It's my job.
14:16Just imagine what you could do with some real resources.
14:20I'll see you in Paris, Kevin.
14:25You got a pair of ice dancers going to Worlds,
14:28plus Katya, JJ, and Ben are looking strong,
14:31Maria and Charlie in the Junior Showcase.
14:33You should be proud.
14:36Pride doesn't pay bills.
14:37But sponsorship does.
14:39My sponsorship gala is next week.
14:41You just make sure your girls are there.
14:43Yeah?
14:46All right.
14:47Get through this, man.
14:49All right.
14:50Yeah.
14:50Okay.
14:51Bye.
15:10Adriana?
15:27I just wanted to skate one last time.
15:32There.
15:42I can't believe it's over.
15:48I'm sorry.
15:51I'm sorry.
16:02Hi.
16:07Hi.
16:08Um, Camille wants to retime our routine.
16:18Give her a beat, would you?
16:38Leith? Wait.
16:46Look, I just came to watch qualifiers with Maria and she begged me to stay until you all got back.
16:50You're back, so I'm gone.
16:52I'd hoped that maybe you'd decided to come home to stay.
16:55For what?
16:56For this family.
16:57So are we a family or a team?
17:00Because these days I can't tell the difference.
17:03Leith, you've wanted to win gold since you were this high.
17:05And I've tried to give you every advantage.
17:08Don't you want-
17:09I don't know what I want.
17:12Not anymore.
17:17You know, Charles would love to have you at the sponsorship gala.
17:21Why would I do that?
17:22Because you always liked those things.
17:24And since when do either of us say no to a party, huh?
17:29I'll see.
17:35Bye.
17:38I'm just glad one of us gets to go to Worlds.
17:42It was stupid of me to go back to competing. I was being-
17:45Stop. Just stop.
17:49You're Adriana Russo.
17:52You are determined. You're tenacious. You're a fighter.
17:55You don't give up.
17:58I gave up on you.
18:00No, it wasn't your fault. You were-
18:03Hey, there you are.
18:06Are you ready to go?
18:07Yeah.
18:09Hey, Riles.

18:14And good for him.
