YAY!!!!! Happy they are planning to compete next year : Montreal worlds !!!!!

Again, thank you for such a great interview. Ted knows how to get the best out of the skaters with smart questions and letting them answer them fully. Nik is a talker Another reason why I like this team so much !

I finally found the time to watch this (and listen). Really nice interview. I enjoyed listening to their change in how they view skating. I always love joyfulness!

they are so personable Nik is hilarious. I met him a few years back when they were still skating for Denmark. It was at Autumn Classic I think... in any case, there was a huge line up for Lolo by many young skaters who probably know her from skating clubs etc... and Nik was there, a tall man, (he is about 6'2 I would say) looking, amused at her getting so much attention. I showed up and talked to him briefly and he signed my note book... He has beautiful handwriting... but he was even more amused that I , an almost as tall man with facial hair and somewhat messy appearance from leaving early that morning to attend the event and sitting down all day at the rink... was asking for his autograph and not Lolo's I think he was surprised to get a bit of attention in the sea of Lolo's fans. In any case, super nice, adorable, charming people with lots of love and respect for each other. This interview shows this as well. On my top 10 list of skating interviews of all time ! I am thrilled I will probably get to see them skate again next year in Montreal or perhaps in a summer/fall event.
