NHK 2016 Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir FD Italian Commentary Translation
FB = Franca Bianconi / GC = Giovanna Carollo (sport journalist who's new to figure skating though)
FB: (Stationary Lift) Bautiful this lift, very original.
FB: They are perfect on twizzles.
GC: They are extraordinary.
** At the end of FD **
FB: Very Beautiful.
GC: Eh you would never stop to watch them. Really.
FB: Very beautiful indeed and I think that the difference beyond the technical aspect there that they have completed very well today without imperfections and they're two great skaters as are the French, for me the big difference is the emotional aspect.
GC: Yes, what they transmit.
FB: What they communicate with each other (GC: a complicity) a personality, a union like they were one only thing. You feel that they are one while skating and they transmit you this feeling in a strong way, in a heavy way.
GC: Emotions which then can also make you forget, from my point of view, what are the technical aspects.
FB: Yes of course.. I though always try to keep an eye on the feet, on the edges, on things... but really they kidnap you from the emotional point of view. Either because they are a couple for so many years...
GC: How many years?
FB: They grew up in couple that they were little kids. Since they were 9/10. There are videos on Internet of them as very little and very beautiful. They made all the Junior category together, one of the few couples who never had a fight, they never divided, not even for a season. It has always been a "go together."
GC: Which counts much.
FB: Hm yes, in winning the Olympics, losing in the next, in stopping together, in making a career, they have done many shows in these years of competitive stop.. just they have always been together, close to each other and I think this thing just goes through somehow.
GC: It comes off.
FB: It comes off even through the TV screen. *giggles*
GC: Yeah, we both remained blocked, fascinated by this program.
FB: Yeees, fascinating.. really, really. Beyond the fact that over the years doing so many things they have also developed a very effective artistic maturity.
GC: Listen, I do not ask you how many 10’s there are but I imagine that some has arrived (FB: Haha Oh well, I guess).. that the elements I see here that the lowest is 9:50.
FB: I have not been to see the PDF because I preferred to enjoy their performance. In fact there are not 10’s (GC: Ah no?) Not even one, not one though they're are all on 9.75 / 9:50. 116.37 this in regard to the segment of the free, is not the new world record, but it is the total because the total is the new world record, the previous was always Davis/White’s at the Olympic Games with 195.52.
GC: And that's 195.84.
FB: Of a little bit but it is a new world record.
