Another Russian request: Cessiville's SD from SC last night

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irSKXcnRceM&app=desktop

PS I was wondering if it would be a good idea to pin all the requests & videos/fluff pieces etc. to the OP and then add links to the translations as they appear (hopefully) later in the thread? So if you have a moment to spare and feel like practicing your translation skills, you could easily go to the OP, find a video that hasn't been translated yet & then post the translation in the thread.

It'll take time to find out whether something has been translated or not. Only if the OP will somehow keep track of what has already been translated and what hasn't.

Sorry, my translations probably have to wait until tomorrow - I'm tired and heartbroken now. Have only slept a couple of hours after SC yesterday...

OK, I'll do it now still. Seems I'm too tired to go home as yet...

Cecilia TÖRN / Jussiville PARTANEN

Skate Canada International 2016

Grishin: The dance competition continues to amaze - nearly every pair contributes something new to the competition and get their well-deserved applause from the audience, while skating at the level which shouldn't statistically be there for everyone out there at the start of the season, according to the theory of probability. But that's how the fate will have it that here at Skate Canada the dancer have already shown very high results, but it's not really the start of the season for the Finnish pair who've had their fourth competition.
Fyodor? Perhaps, the ice has been so good, that's why it's unusual...
Grishin: So everything depends on the ice? That's interesting, I've never come across such a theory. If it's poor, the skating will be poor, will it?
F: No, it doesn't happen. If the ice is slippery and cold, then...
Gr: Slippery and cold?
F: well, that means everyone has the same chances.
Gr: Well, not if you come from rollerskating world. If you rollerskate, then you'll find it slightly more difficult. But seeing such results where only two pairs stop slightly short of 60 points is amazing.
F: everyone is improving their personal (bests)
Gr: So they do, which is quite serious. Now they are showing the most spectacular moments of the Finnish pair's skate. We're used to considering Finns slow, cold and laidback, but they prove that they can express themselves through hot melodies of the season. I'll remind you that the pre-Olympic World Championship which will determine how many skater different countries get to send to the Olympics will take place in Finland this season, and Cecilia Torn and Jussiville Partanen will want to perform well in front of their home crowd.

This is where you get quite a taste of Grishin, I'm afraid - a commentator and comedian

"..slow, cold and laidback.." That sounds about right

Thank you so much!! I will list all the videos (requests and translated ones) in the OP tonight!

Lorraine MCNAMARA / Quinn CARPENTER -
JGPF 2015 -
SD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v-ludDlzOM

This one is likely to defeat me - not quite clear what TAT says sometimes, sorry! I need some help.


TAT: What interesting steps into waltz...
(a bit which baffled me, sorry!)
That's an interesting pattern. You can see it worse from here, but still
Well done.
Rocker, bracket, rocker, counter, twizzle, all on one foot.
A very emotional female partner. She's so small!
Not very small, 16 years old!
You see the same thing, the same coaches. Now coaches find it hard, since one coach has two pairs, in one group, two good pairs get into the Final, and then other coaches try to lure them away: "Why should you train in that group? You'll be all on your own here!" That's how they prevent coaches from progressing.
Gr: Well, we can say that Alexei Kiliakov can celebrate today, since his pair gets a phenomenal technical score - they'd be quite good for senior competitions as well. The component score isn't quite as high - maybe because they're so young. But they're very impressive.
TAT: I can see a Russian influence in it. "A lofty soul in the dance's flight"
Gr: But then we can remember Marina Zoueva, Igor Shpilband, Angelica Krylova - ice dance has Russian influence everywhere.
TAT: Yes, that's why I'm wondering where the Turks will go.
Gr: We will speak about Turks later.
TAT: These are our Russian coaches.
Gr: The score is the highest, 65.90, but the three leading pairs are very close to each other compared to all the others.
TAT: I think every pair can fight for a victory, and not one has lost their chances, any mistake can determine who can get onto the podium.

Thank you again so so much Fayruza!!!

Thank you!

I don't think I can make the thread a sticky, I think only the moderators can do that? Maybe they will if there's enough activity

I would suggest that the translators quote the original request when they post the translation. That way the requester receives a message when the translation is ready!

Madison CHOCK / Evan BATES
Skate Canada 2016
FD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUlyWccF5Yc

Grishin: We'll see the duet closing today's competition - Chock and Bates. The immortal Freddie Mercury.
???: I liked the Canadian more.
Gr: Everything fit the music here too.
???: No, it was performed ideally, you can't deny it.
Gr: I'd love to argue your point, but I can't really. I think I preferred the Canadians too. They produced an unforgettable impression on me. If I was slightly perplexed by the character of the SD, I mean Gilles and Poiries, I hadn't seen their SD this season, I couldn't take my eyes off during their FD.
???: Here, the technical score... for their diagonal step sequence they get Level 4.
Gr: Level 4? No kidding.
???: We remember that at Skate America two American duets also got Level 4, but then they were downgraded to Level 3. But in this case they're unlikely to be downgraded since every step was crisp and sure.
Gr: Igor Shpilband. He is standing there, not leaving the ice.
???: They skated very well, everything fit the music very well, they were clean, there were some interesting elements, but... the Canadian were just more exciting, I had a smile during their dance, they were emotional, and here...
Gr: And now it's the subtlety of judging which matters. Not the 6.0 system...
???: Yes. The quality of the elements was high, as well as with the Canadians. I just think they might have gone apart in their twizzles. But I might well be mistaken there. Here... no. Here, I think they did.
Gr: Yes, a bit.
???: It doesn't affect their level, but their quality of the performance... no, it is not really affected.
Gr: well, it might have been more. Now we'lll learn how it'll affect the final result. We'll see Chock and Bates in Moscow in less than a week. 112,03, they win the FD over everyone, including Virtue and Moir, but that's not their highest score ever. They come second overall.
???: True, they come second, but they've shown their ambitions. They lack... (and this where the video gets cut)

Thank you again! I'll update the OP as soon as I get home.

TESSA VIRTUE AND SCOTT MOIR
Skate Canada 2016
FD
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4zt8x6_skate-canada-2016-fd-tessa-virtue-scott-moir_sport

GR: Now the headliners of the competition, back to the competitive circuit, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, the 2010 Olympic Gold medalists. They're currently in the lead.
???: Well, well, even the most experienced make mistakes. Tessa teetered during a twizzle. They started well, in a beautiful and exciting manner, but then it got samey, there no changes within these 4 minutes.
Gr: Can we see the work of the new coaching team? They trained for years with Marina Zoueva, first with Igor Shpilband, then that coaching team fell apart. Now Tessa and Scott are training with Marie-France Debreuil and Patrice Lauzon
???: I fail to see anything terrible about that.
Gr: I don't mean 'terrible', I say can we see...?
???: Yes, we can see a change of style, but their skating has remained beautiful and technically difficult, but they messed up the program a little. But congratulations on coming back!
Gr: Yes, they're back. Their score is sure to be high, we can't say for sure now that they'll win, but they've surely come back. In such situations when an athlete skips a season or two and then comes back to the elite sport, they usually say: It's as if they'd never left. Can you see it now?
???: I can see similarity in appearance between Moir and Lauzon.
Gr (laughs): That's interesting.
???: They've found each other. No, I don't think the change of coaches can affect them much, but they can find some hidden talents. I can't say I'm much impressed by the program. At first there were interesting elements, interesting moments of drawn-out movements to the music. They were still there later, but they got all too familiar. There's a loft, very easily done. They're at such a level of skating that the change of coaches doesn't affect it anymore. They know how to skate, they don't need to be taught. Your style of skating is unlikely to change then. It's just a matter of choreography, some new elements. We'll see.
Gr: That's what we had to see. They're currently leading, 111.83, that score is not stratospheric, but very high still. Not as high as in their SD, but their skate wasn't as clean as on their first day.

Whoever is commenting along with Grishin can't really enunciate.

MAIA SHIBUTANI - ALEX SHIBUTANI
Skate America 2016
SD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwAWk6Rn6Do

???: Shibutani-Shibutani was such a duet that, according to the general opinion, burst onto the podium - then they looked (no offence to them!) like bobblehead dolls, but later they suddenly made huge progress in their presentation and skating style. Let's see what they've got for us this year.
Gr: It's curious that the siblings always try to evolve and choose subjects they find easier to act out since love theme will look awkward for them, but then they've found a style they look very natural in.
???: In this SD athletes must execute not just mandatory elements, but also some patterns of obligatory dance - Midnight Blues. There it starts. No problems with the patterns, they were clean. Very cleanly executed twizzles, though I think their speed isn't that high, as far as I can judge from what I see on the screen.
I can't call it an outstanding skate, but it was clean, quite relaxed, but it seemed as if they were reserved.
Gr: Perhaps there's no need to go all out on it at the start of the season or was it the fact they skated first which affected them?
???: No, I don't think their starting number could have affected their expressiveness, but that was a clean and cautious skate, no breaks, no mistakes, but they didn't blow people's minds today. Their score will show it.
Gr: Well, taking into account that there aren't so many elements in the SD and levels can change your score, which points do you have to address to get the highest scores?
???: Well, as I said, you have to execute a pattern of the obligatory dance, there are the points judges want to see there, so called key points, which you have to execute cleanly. Twizzles, lifts... as usual, nothing really changed. All top athletes can execute all those elements, the competition is about the quality of execution of those elements. During a lift you shouldn't hold it a second too long, execute al the mandatory positions.
Gr: If we remember that they burst into the senior level much faster than many, they got onto the podium at their first World Championship, how much have they changed within those five-six years since then?
???: They did, they greatly changed visually all of sudden within a very short time, they had a very creative program which was very exciting to see. As for now... their level of skating hasn't gone down, of course, every move is precise and crisp, but I think their FD will show more since there they were free to choose music and moves, so we'll see there, it's difficult to judge by the blues.
Gr: Marina Zoueva, Massimo Scali, the athletes themselves, Maia to the left. Though we see that their step sequences got only Level 2, and their spin lift at the end - level 3, they got positive GOEs on those, and the PCS is high too, so their SD score is not going to beat their personal best, but it's quite close to it.
???: Why did they give their SS level 2?
Gr: Both SS.
???: Both SS, true. But getting the highest level for SS at the first GP...
Gr: They get 73.04, so so far they're in the lead.
