eppen Thank you for the link of the video, which I have never seen before, but I wish I could understand a little Spanish, totally have no clue what he was talking about
Well, this is what my summer break is for
"After the Olympics, as I didn't get a medal, it wasn't really that hard for me to go back to train. I was in good spirits. But it's true that, after a week I went down a bit: it was more difficult for me to go to train, I was more tired. But well, that's what the coaches are for, you have your team there, supporting you. They know it's hard, they have to be with you, they understand. So they all helped me see that it was the last competition of the season, that I had to keep working and go (to Worlds) at a 100%."
Almost perfect Worlds
"At Worlds, the top 3 didn't have any mistakes. I would say that the level at the Olympics and at Worlds was around the same or Worlds could even be a lot higher. It's true that it was a long season, still I had some very good programs at the last competition, and we have to keep moving forward. I think that even if I had another (competition) I would have kept training and I would have likely had a good competition. But I'm happy I used the momentum from the Olympics well, I kept training and I came out strong to get to Worlds at 100%."
Unforgettable Sochi
"In general all the moments we have were as a group (Spanish delegation), specially the good times like being the flag bearer. That's something that will remain in my mind forever, I'll never forget it. And I'm still thankful I was given the chance to be at the head of the Spanish team at that moment, I was amazingly proud."
Figure Skating good environment
"In this sport the truth is we're all good friends, we get along very well. It's true that when you're competing you don't talk to others most of the time. But once the competition's over there's a very good vibe among the skaters, we go out and have dinner. It's a weird thing for such a high-level sport, right?"
The competition
"In this sport, you never know who will end up on the podium. There a certain podium (medalists) at one competition and the following it's completely different. And at any moment a 16-17 y/o kid can jump and do excellent programs and he gets there and you don't expect it. So we have to be smart with this sport and keep going at the rhythm we've had until now."
Next season
"We're still thinking about what we're going to do. I won't start on the programs until I go back to Toronto. For the SP, we think we'll use a song called "Black Betty", which is a rock n' roll song, so to speak. And for the FS: Barber of Seville, it's a genre I've never done before, so to speak. It can have a bit of a Spanish air, but we're not quite sure yet, we want to go with that Latin vibe, use Spanish music or something similar, so to speak."

Thank you!
They got also asked what was the most difficult thing in competition and the all three (Javi, Kovtun and Voronov) were in agreement that it's the second part, when you are getting tired and still have to do half of the jumps etc. Kovtun got asked about Tarasova's participation is his training at that time and that was about it.
Thank you so much for your time to do the translation
