a little late in dicovery, but it's a nice and lengthy interview with both skaters that include many questions that are actually answered with the time given and several practice clips
it's cute in the beginning how the interviewer asked the pair to introduce each other since they new each other well enough.
but basically, they ask the same questions and tell the obvious.
pregnancy, baby is great, pregnancy as an athlete is "extraordinaire"
olivier's doings while she was off, their views on how they will manage to go through this season, their opinions on the concept of the olympics,
talking about how they just push harder no matter how difficult it might be, blurbs on what made them last so long, training schedules, isabelle talking about her love for skating is what made her go back asap, work with what they have, how their team works with dealing with each other working together towards their GOAL....all in no particular order. just what my rusty french can pick up.
CLIPS:
this program will be very, very emotional. judging from such a quick clip you can still see their...presence on ice. now with evident emotion.
then suddenly footwork practice with muriel - cute! i dont really see coaches, especially muriel with Del/Sch, get up close and go technical.
like i said before, this time off-competition really "recharged" these two, to my eye at least. by the looks of their serpentine, its very vivacious and strong. no wild tanith faces, no pseudo V/M romances, but they're uniquely personal on ice - with theme and presentation.
olivier closes interview talking about how they, with their experience and age (reasons of this being their last?), will try to do an excellent performance without mistakes, have quality of their programs, have maturity in order to get a medal....(GOLDDDDDD!)
this will be a great FD regardless of results. certainly, EASILY imaginable to be that olympic moment as they do their final pose, i can just feel it.
cannot wait

I thought more into the direction of 'arrogant and mad', but more or less you are right.
