They said they will decide if they go to Worlds after coming home from Beijing.
A rough translation of some parts of the interview:
Nicole: "lots of emotions. I think it can be seen, I still can't stop crying. We are happy, as we said yesterday, we wanted to enjoy it and I think we did it. Yes, there has been some imprecisions, but in the end I was happy that tonight we had another opportunity to skate again with Matteo. And I will take it home this good memory regardless of the result because this is what matters.
Journalist says "last Olympic togehter..."
Matteo replies "yes, it was a very particular evening. Not only the last Olympic together but maybe the last competition. As you can see, it is always difficult to say goodbye to this beautiful sport [he starts crying]. To all people who met in our journey, we have faced many troubles, but we always went out with our heads held high. For us today it was a special evening regardless of points and results".
Nicole "in the end it has been a positive experience. Regardless of this season, in 10 years, we had many good results, we achieved many goals. We can't not being happy. I will bring in the heart with me all what we did together, good and bad, because also obstacles will be useful for the futures"
Matteo "now we need a break. We need to think about what to do with Worlds. We are not sure. We go back home and in front of a coffee we will decide".
