So, here is the beginning of the translation of the THIRD video from here - http://sporteveryday.info/pages/tat...eo/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
It just happened so, that I began translating this very part, and then translated on and on... so, this is the translation of the THIRD part, please note.

Having gone all the way through the Soviet school of figure skating, knowing all its pros and cons, Nina Mozer is nevertheless a coach of new generation. In order to work with Tanya and Maxim she has invited the narrowly focused specialists into her team – specialists in technique, in choreography, in jumps etc. The best stylists and designers work with her. And it brings success. In January 2014 there was a milestone event in the world pair skating – the whole podium at the European championship was occupied by the students of one coach, Nina Mozer, – Tatyana Volosozhar/Maxim Trankov, Ksenia Stolbova/Fedor Klimov and Vera Bazarova/Yuri Larionov. All these three pairs are now representing Russia at the Olympics in Sochi.

TV: Nina Mikhailovna is the most important person for us in sport now… and in life, too… she is very experienced, very intellectual… she is wise, she always knows what to do… well, I can say that she is like our second mother… we all are one, we are like a big family.

Volosozhar and Trankov have both been trained by high-qualification specialists. Maxim was taught the technique of pair skating by the famous coaches Lyudmila and Nikolay Velikovs, and Oleg Vasiliev has made his skating professional and modern. Tanya, before she began skating with Maxim, had also been coached by elite specialists – Nikolay Morozov, Ingo Steuer… But the one to unlock the potential of them both, to turn the two first-rate skaters into a first-rate pair was Nina Mozer and her team.

MT: She's like our second mother… any problem… I can't even imagine which problem she wouldn’t help us to sort out… or say "I can't do anything about it"...

- So, you can say, there's "the one button in your phone"?
MT: Well, in the "preferred numbers" I have three numbers – Mum, Tanya and Nina Mikhailovna.

- But most often you phone to…
MT: Tanya.

- Tanya. But you are together almost all the time, anyway?
MT: Well, sometimes we are not… she goes shopping, for example, to some ladies' shops, and I wait her somewhere…

When they began to skate together, each of them had their own personal life. Tanya came to Moscow with Stanislav Morozov, and Maxim brought from St.Petersburg his girlfriend, Alexandra. Both couples lived near each other, in the building facing the rink.

MT: We all were friends, were getting along with each other, then… well, the things took their own course. There had been problems between Sasha and me even before that… maybe, Tanya and Stas also had some controversies, as far as I can gather … so, I didn’t part with my girlfriend because Tanya appeared, no.

- So, both relationships just came to an end …
MT: Yes, and in fact I was dating Sasha for half a year after Tanya had parted with Stas…

Nina Mozer: Has he put up with it, or hasn’t he – I can't tell, what is inside him. Stas is a very reserved person. So, when he came he had one status, now the status has changed – but he is the coach of these skaters, above all. We all work, we work all together… some time ago I said to them: "We started as one team, we have the result, and we should go on like that, we shouldn’t change anything."

The relationship between Tanya and Maxim began when both of them were already free. Now they are together and they are absolutely happy being near each other.

MT: As people say "there is some chemistry", there is indeed some chemistry between us… Sometimes people search for all their life and don't find… and we are partners, we have such a link… stronger than between any husband and wife…

TV: We spend so much time together, that we begin missing each other even if we don’t see each other for a few hours.

MT: She is always shining – and when she is happy, she's, well, just a bundle of sunshine… everybody notices that…

To be continued...

Thanks :thumbsup:

I think it will be stranger for pairs not to get romantic than the other way. They train together all the time. They have to sell the theme story when they skate. They need to encourage each others. They share the same dream. They do all the spins. They are young, etc etc

Maxim tweeted this: "Лучше б не читал твитер и прессу. 2 медали. А говно льют ведрами. Что ж за народ то у нас:("

My google translator says it' something about him being angry with some people and media who writes bulls***. Anyone has any idea why is he so angry?

That's right, he is angry about some people or media writing nasty things... But I have no idea what he means, as he gives no links. As for me, I haven't come across any critisicm concerning them!

And here is the next piece of the translation of video 3.

...Now they spend almost all time together, they share all joys, and triumphs, and sorrows. The latter, unfortunately, they already have had to experience…

In December, 2012, the first international competition was held at the Iceberg Skating Palace – the Grand Prix Final. For the first time in their career Volosozhar and Trankov defeated their formidable rivals – the four-time world champions Aliona Savchenko/Robin Szolkowy. The next crucial competition, as usual, was scheduled after the New Year – the European championship. Volosozhar and Trankov were in the perfect form for it. Two days before their departure to Zagreb they were visited during their practice by Maxim's most faithful fan – his father Leonid Stepanovich. Then he went to the country house.

Valentina Trankova (Maxim's mother): He went to that house, in Pskov Oblast, on Saturday. And we all tried to dissuade him from going there, as if there was some presentiment… but he insisted.

Leonid Trankov died on January, 20, of a heart attack. There were less than 24 hours till the departure to the European Championship. The first person, whom Maxim's mother told about the tragedy, was his coach, Nina Mozer. On her shoulders Maxim's relatives imposed this hard task to make decision – to tell Maxim at once, or to tell him after the competition which was so important for him.

Alexei Trankov (Maxim's brother): Maybe, it will sound horrible for ordinary people - but if she decided that we must keep it secret from him, we would have done so, we would have told him after the championship. And I know that father would approve it.

Nina Mozer: I phoned to Tanya, and said: "I can't do this, just tell him nothing, so that we just leave for Zagreb… I won't take such a burden, which I won't be able to cope with – neither physically, nor morally." And Tatyana also told me: "Yes, we should tell him". And I remember, when we came to Max's place, I had no idea at all how to tell him about this, I was so horrified about that… I remember that even my hands and legs were going numb…

Valentina Trankova: They gave the phone to me; they had sort of prepared him… he understood already that something was wrong. And then I told him what had happened.

TV: I was in a state of shock, too… I think we maybe were even more in trance than Maxim…of course his first thought was to go to Perm, to comfort his mother, his brother…

Nina Mozer: Then Tanya and me, we left him alone… He came himself, when he was ready, and we talked, discussed… and at that moment his decision was law for us. I said to him at once: "It is up to you to decide what to do. As you decide, so it will be."

To go to the European Championship or not – this decision was taken by two brothers, Maxim and Alexei.

Alexei Trankov: I had no a slightest doubt, that our father would like him to go. I was talking with Maxim over the phone, and he asked me what he should do. And I said: "Of course, go. Go and skate for him, for the sake of his memory… He would like you to; he would want it so much."

Thank you for the translations, he is soo cute when he speaks about "his sunlight"... I hope they will decide to go to the World Championship, I need to watch them again!!

Maxim tweeted this: "Лучше б не читал твитер и прессу. 2 медали. А говно льют ведрами. Что ж за народ то у нас:("

That is possible. However I really hope they will...someday:p Maxim is so in love with "his sunlight". I am not sure about them going to Worlds. I suppose they are very busy with other things now and need rest. They did all they dreamed of this season.

Thank you very much for the translations! You're doing an amazing job and we find out more and more interesting stuff. Also thanks for the videos, really beautiful.

But those rumors are almost 2 weeks old and already denied when they were in Sochi, wouldn't explain his outburst from today because no one is talking about the wedding anymore. Who knows, sometimes Maxim is not easy to be understood.

Let me join in the big THANK YOU to Borzaya for the latest translation! :yay:

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't think a marriage rumor would cause Maxim to be angry. My guess would be that he's referring to everything that's been written about the Olympic judging controversy and/or all the negative things that have been said about Sotnikova winning gold. Because I don't read or speak Russian, I don't know -- had he tweeted about those subjects before today?

Sorry, I thought the tweet was older.
I think it isn't about the jugdes bc he says '2 medals' so it is about them.
They have a lot of attention from the press and they are so exposed now that they have 2 olympic medals that this can saturate them.
I edit, I have just rimembered that Tatiana post like two days ago a pic where she was wearing a sweater with the american flag and there were a lot of bad comments.

I think that might be the source of his tweet. I imagine Tatiana's happiness is pretty important to him and he does mention the fans too in his tweet, no only the media, so I think you could be right and those comments bothered him.

Yes, that does make sense. He's gonna take care of his girl no matter what.

I hate that the situation happened, but in looking for the photo, it did introduce me to Tatiana's instagram page that I had not seen before. More photos! :) I also noticed that the photo in which she is wearing the USA jacket has a lot more comments than most other recent photos she's posted, and many of the comments contain a lot of :disagree:. I could be mistaken, but it seems like all those comments are coming from the same poster. It's all in Russian, so I have no idea what is being said, but I'm guessing it's a typical hateful troll.

Sometimes I copy and paste whatever appears in their Twitter feeds into Google translation, and then I can see what it says. Helpful hint!
