Elena Ilinykh & Ruslan Zhiganshin

Missed it, what was it about? Hopefully it included concern for those in Paris. Isn't that just so awful :sad14:
 
He was driving a car by himself (not sure why he was on Periscope as he was driving, but whatever)... I wasn't really watching very closely as I was following the breaking news in France.

I actually didn't know Ruslan had a Periscope until I got a notification saying, "Ruslan is live for the first time!" No clue how/why I received that notification. :confused2:
 
He and Elena were interviewed on Match TV (so far no vids but there should be a repeat tomorrow morning. He was driving home from the studio and he said driving alone is boring so he turned on periscope :). Not much interesting on periscope. He seemed to be talking about random things with his acrobat friend.

ETA: You can catch the interview here. The interview took place at the end of the BCE program. http://matchtv.ru

You probably follow him on twitter? Periscope is from the same company, so they're linked!
 
I too would greatly appreciate a translation if anyone has the time to do so. Thank you so much in advance.
 

Q2: The first question, do you follow the Grand Prix events where you don't participate, which we're broadcasting.
E: Of course we cannot watch them all because we have to prepare for competitions ourselves, we practice, we do own things, but of course we follow the results of our teammates and try to watch everything we can.
Q1: But you will participate in Moscow, won't you? Next week...
R: Of course we will. We prepare for it.
Q1: How do you estimate your physical, emotional condition?
Q2: There will be a very strong field in this event.
E: Yes, there really will be a very strong field there and we work, we will fight, we will try to show the maximum.
Q1: I also want to hear Ruslan.
R: Well, what I can say. We work to our full capacity and we're ready to show our maximum result.

Then they start to speak about the shorts in France and the video breaks.

I'll hardly be able to translate the second part today, but if no one translates it in the nearest 13-14 hours I'll do it.

Cool! :agree: I hope you will be able to see Ruslena and that you will report to us how they look live. :biggrin:

Unfortunately I'll have to miss the SD. I can't take thursday off from work also but at least I'll get to watch the free and I'll on the judges sector. I got the hotel as well, 10 minutes walk from the Arena, and I also got the flight ticket. :dance2:
Are you coming? I thought you said you wanted to go as well?

That sounds great. :)

Unfortunately, I can`t take off work, but I have a ticket to the GPF in Barcelona. It will be my first live competition, so I`m really excited about it. :biggrin:
 

Q2: Lena and Ruslan, we've just watched the performance by Volosozhar and Trankov, what are your feelings after what you've seen?
E: I think that the guys are great because they return despite some weddings, some personal affairs, they continue to enjoy and to improve our sport, I think it's great and cool, and we're very proud of them.
Q2: Is it difficult after the Olympics... sorry, Ruslan, this is mostly a question for Lena... to perform, to return, and how to find all these emotions, power, motivation? (Do they know that Ruslan was to Olympics too?)
E: We are the people who love their sport greatly, we love it so much that we find motivation everywhere. If we didn't want to find motivation we wouldn't find it.
Q1: You know, in this program we have a kind host and a meticulous one. Your previous partners treated you unfairly, they'd negotiated before the Olympics to skate together as far as I know. Ruslan, this question is for you, does it mean, that because of that, they are your main rivals now, or maybe Bobrova-Soloviev? Whom will you fight against?
R: You know, probable our main rivals are ourselves. We have to do what we can do. And well, all are our rivals, I think that all who will compete at the nearest championships are very worthy guys, and it's gonna be interesting.
Q1: So you don't have this felling... say it frankly, I beg you... that we will prove, prove, because this is the strongest motivation, especially for a sportsman, for every man, it's a sport, we will prove, we'll clench our fists.
Q2: I can see in their eyes that it's true. (giggles)
Q1: (I can't make clearly what he says here laughing, something like ) And Lena, we know Lena.
E: I can say that the last season has already been proved, we did our maximum, we won the Russian Nationals. Of course, this season won't be less interesting, and of course we'll fight and prove. Exactly.
Q1: And there're the World champions from France. The're very serious.
Q2: Who is not serious in figure skating?
E: Everyone is serious.

Stopped at 2:16, to be continued.

This despite some weddings phrase made me laugh. :laugh:

He was rubbing it in their faces pretty hard, wasn't he? :biggrin:
Lena looked half amused, half ready to smack the guy. :laugh:
