When the Moulin Rouge! music started, they didn’t move for about five seconds, staring at — almost through — each other. They were building tension, setting a palpable tone of burning, dark passion. Slowly they started stroking, in a purposeful circle, almost like two animals of prey gauging each other. Then Tessa pivoted and leapt blindly backwards, locking onto Scott’s hips, like a puppet being tugged by its strings. And it was on: the culmination of two years of laser-like focus.

Hi, first off thank you for subbing parts of the interview with Ito Satomi! I don't want to bother you but I just wanted to ask if you intended to do any more of it or if you know if anyone else has subbed it in english as I'm really interested in her process? Thank you for all your translation work!
Hello! Thank you for your advice! I also admire her passion and persistence for this job and love her costume designs for different skaters! Knowing her working process through this short documentary made me very excited!
It seems no one has subbed the partial or the full programme except mine. I may consider doing it for the entire program, but not sure when it will be born XD
By the way, here’s a detailed summary or transcript of this documentary, hope it would be a little helpful for you now.
[ENG SUB] Another Stories, at the crossroads of fate
A documentary on Yuzuru’s back-to-back Olympic gold medals, with interviews and thoughts from Dick Button, Evgeni Plushenko and Javier Fernandez.

It’s been a blast working with you guys! Thank you all for putting so much efforts and love into this project! And hope everyone have fun watching (and sobbing) as much as we did while translating this video :3
I’ve made a guide to the ISU classified difficult steps/turns. For ice dance, the 6 difficult steps/turns are rocker, counter, bracket, choctaw, outside mohawk, and twizzle. For singles/pairs, the 6 difficult steps/turns are rocker, counter, bracket, choctaw, twizzle, and loop. For 3 of the difficult one foot turns (rocker, counter, bracket), I’ve also included examples from each of the 8 entry edges because in my opinion, they are the hardest to tell apart of the steps/turns. This is especially true for rockers and counters since skaters maintain the same entry and exit edge (inside to inside or outside to outside) in both. In singles skating, the direction of the step/turn (clockwise or counter-clockwise) is important because a skater must have 5 types of difficult steps/turns in both directions to achieve level 4 on their step sequence, so I will also separate them by their direction.
Rocker
The skater changes from back to front or front to back, maintaining the same edge (outside to outside or inside to inside). The blade turns in the direction of the entry curve.
Rockers that Rotate Clockwise
RFO-Rocker (RFO to RBO): Elena Ilinykh and Nikita Katsalapov enter on right forward outside edges and exit on right back outside edges. You can also see the ice marks of a rocker in this gif.
LFI-Rocker (LFI to LBI): Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir enter on left forward inside edges and exit on left back inside edges.
RBI-Rocker (RBI to RFI): Scott Moir enters on a right back inside edge and exits on a right forward inside edge. Tessa is doing a LFI-Rocker.
LBO-Rocker (LBO to LFO): Lorraine McNamara and Quinn Carpenter enter on left back outside edges and exit on left forward outside edges.
Rockers that Rotate Counter-Clockwise
LFO-Rocker (LFO to LBO): Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir enter on left forward outside edges and exit on left back outside edges.
RFI-Rocker (RFI to RBI): Scott Moir enters on a right forward inside edge and exits on a right back inside edge.
LBI-Rocker (LBI to LFI): Yuzuru Hanyu enters on a left back inside edge and exits on a left forward inside edge.
RBO-Rocker (RBO to RFO): Yuzuru Hanyu enters on a right back outside edge and exits on a right forward outside edge. You can also see the ice mark of a rocker in this gif.
Counter
The skater changes from back to front or front to back, maintaining the same edge (outside to outside or inside to inside). The blade turns in the direction of the exit curve.
Counters that Rotate Clockwise
LFO-Counter (LFO to LBO): Mikhail Kolyada enters on a left forward outside edge and exits on a left back outside edge.
RFI-Counter (RFI to RBI): Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir enter on right forward inside edges and exit on right back inside edges.
LBI-Counter: Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir enter on left back inside edges and exit on left forward inside edges.
RBO-Counter (RBO to RFO): Scott Moir enters on a right back outside edge and exits on a right forward outside edge.
Counters that Rotate Counter-Clockwise
LFI-Counter (LFI to LBI): Tessa Virtue enters on a left forward inside edge and exits on a left back inside edge. Scott is doing a RBI-Counter.
RFO-Counter (RFO to RBO): Scott Moir enters on a right forward outside edge and exits on a right back outside edge.
LBO-Counter (LBO to LFO): Yuzuru Hanyu enters on a left back outside edge and exits on a left forward outside edge. This is also his entry to his triple axel and the “back counter” entry to make the axel look as if it “came out of nowhere” that skaters do, since counter-clockwise jumpers take off for the axel from a left forward outside edge.
RBI-Counter (RBI to RFI): Tessa Virtue enters on a right back inside edge and exits on a right forward inside edge.
Bracket
The skater changes both direction (front to back or back to front) and edge (inside to outside or outside to inside) and the blade turns in the opposite direction of the overall turn.
Brackets that Rotate Clockwise
LFO-Bracket (LFO to LBI): Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir enter on left forward outside edges and exit on left back inside edges.
RFI-Bracket (RFI to RBO): Tessa Virtue enters on a right forward inside edge and exits on a right back outside edge.
LBI-Bracket (LBI to LFO): Lorraine McNamara and Quinn Carpenter enter on left back inside edges and exit on left forward outside edges.
RBO-Bracket (RBO to RFI): Michael Parsons enters on a right back outside edge and exits on a right forward inside edge. Rachel is doing a RFI-Bracket.
Brackets that Rotate Counter-Clockwise
LFI-Bracket (LFI to LBO): Mikhail Kolyada enters on a left forward inside edge and exits on a left back outside edge.
RFO-Bracket (RFO to RBI): Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir enter on right forward outside edges and exit on right back inside edges.
RBI-Bracket (RBI to RFO): Nikita Katsalapov enters on a right back inside edge and exits on right forward outside edge. Vika is doing a LFI-Bracket.
LBO-Bracket (LBO to LFI): Quinn Carpenter enters on a left back outside edge and exits on a left forward inside edge.
Choctaw
The skater changes feet (left to right or right to left), direction (back to front or front to back), and edge (inside to outside or outside to inside).
Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte enter on left forward inside edges, cross their right foot in front of their left, and exit on right back outside edges in the first Wd-XF-LFI-OpCho (LFI to RBO). On the second Wd-XB-RBO-ClCho (RBO to LFI), they enter on right back outside edges (also the exit edge of the first choctaw), cross their left foot behind their right foot, and exit on left forward inside edges.
Closed Choctaw
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir do a LFI-XB-Closed Choctaw (LFI to RBO). They enter on left forward inside edges, cross their right feet behind their left, and exit on right back outside edges.
Swing Choctaw
Scott Moir does a LFO-Swing Choctaw (LFO to RBI). He enters on a left forward outside edge, swings his right leg forward, and exits on a right back inside edge.
Outside Mohawk
The skater changes feet (left to right or right to left) and direction (front to back or back to front), but maintains the same edge (outside to outside).
Open Mohawk
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir do a RBO-Open Mohawk (RBO to LFO). They enter on right back outside edges and exit on left forward outside edges.
Closed Mohawk
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir do a LFO-Swing Closed Mohawk (LFO to RBO). They enter on left forward outside edges, swing their right legs forward, and exit on right back outside edges.
Twizzle
A continuous traveling turn that must not turn into checked three-turns or a pirouette
Clockwise Twizzle
Anastasia Gubanova performs a right back inside twizzle that rotates clockwise.
Counter-Clockwise Twizzle
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir perform a right forward inside twizzle that rotates counter-clockwise.
Loop
A turn that maintains the same edge and direction
Clockwise Loop
Anastasia Gubanova performs a left back outside loop that rotates clockwise.
Counter-Clockwise Loop
Sui Wenjing and Han Cong perform a left forward outside loop that rotates counter-clockwise.

-- from section 9 & 10 in chapter 4, talking about the conversation in Brian's first meet with Yuzu (at apartment lobby) after 2017 NHK, and how Yuzu made training plans for himself before being back to the ice (x)
Yuzuru appearing with being on the crutches
How serious Yuzuru's injury was, no one knew the truth. After being injured in NHK Cup, Yuzuru went to the hospital in Japan to do MRI, but then he immediately returned to Toronto. The entire treatment was received in Toronto.
After realizing the injury was quite serious, the first thing Yuzuru did was changing his plan. "Recover first", "listen to doctors' advice and patiently receive treatment". He put these two things in the first place of priority, temporarily removing the stuff like training and competition from his mind.
Yuzuru reanalyzed current condition, thinking about what he could do to control the situation at hand. In other words, instead of "the problem occurred, and what should I do", it was an image like "I meet some difficulties that need to overcome, and I face some challenges that need to exert my abilities". I'm the same about this point. When dealing with something, I’d like to use the word "challenge" rather than "problem" because it makes you feel positive and be able to do one thing in a bullish mood.
Normally, I always say to everyone, "Team Brian's friends don't have PROBLEM". What we have is CHALLENGE. Yuzuru's challenge is recovery, paying all effort to cure his feet. Because he understood this subject, rather than remaining in Japan and taking a rest, he returned to Toronto first, thinking of doing as much as possible for the Olympics.
According to Yuzuru's report, the situation was "It will take about six weeks to return to practice. Only the ankle is partially injured, and there is no problem with the knee. To not increase further burden on my feet, now I'm using a STICK while walking". For this reason, first I decided to discuss the schedule with Yuzuru again, so I visited the apartment where he lived. In my office, there were lots of mail items sent from Yuzuru's fans. The fans who worried about his injuries sent many letters and gifts to him. The floor of my office was full of them, so I visited him as a way to give him these items.
When I was waiting for him at apartment's lobby, Yuzuru appeared by turning from the corner of the elevator. I was extremely shocked at that time. I never thought what he used was CRUTCH. Because what he wrote in the e-mail was "stick", so I thought it was only a degree of needing some necessary support. At that time, Yuzuru's ankle was fixed, and he could not walk on his own strength, so he came with being on the crutches.
Seeing his appearance, I couldn't help saying "OMG, what's going on! Isn't it a serious injury?" Yuzuru sat in the chair in the lobby and looked calmer than I expected, then talking about the next thing. He talked about how bad his ankle condition is, until what time he was not able to practice on the ice. He also said he would try his best to do some preparation like image training and muscle exercise.
However, I noticed this Yuzuru wasn't same as the Yuzuru who had always been strong. It seemed like he was being afraid of something or felt uneasy. Carrying the mission of winning at the Olympics, at the same time he had to change all his plans due to the injury. Even for people like Yuzuru, it was commonplace to become more sensitive/neurotic than usual.
Therefore, I said the following to him.
"You practiced a lot this summer and did open practice on media day in August. At that time, Yuzuru was already prepared for the Olympics, wasn't it? You had been accumulating practices from July to early August, and you were ready by only using six weeks, right? Because you completed your preparation so early, we were all a little worried about it. In other words, with only six weeks, Yuzuru can complete all the preparations. Performing with music and accomplishing all quads, you just need six weeks to reach this state.”
Actually, during the open practice in August, I saw the situation and took some notes in my mind. "It's quite early to reach this condition. Yuzuru is able to arouse the state to this level in just six weeks. Conversely, because of the ability to reach the peak in only six weeks, if you did high-intensity practice for two months before the Olympics, there would be a possibility of missing your peak state in official competitions. Therefore, facing the Olympics, starting the final adjustment in January will be enough."
Hence, I continued saying to Yuzuru.
"Participate in the show during spring, take a break, then rework programs, and move forward at full speed in the next six weeks. It was your original plan, right? In that open practice (media day), your performance was terrific. So, it's still in November now, and there're three months away from the Olympics. Even if step on the ice in January, there're still six weeks left. Judging from Yuzuru's physical condition, after returning to the rink and training on the ice, it will take about five to six weeks or perhaps five weeks at most to complete the preparation. So you will be in time for the Olympics.”
Yuzuru listened to me quietly. It seemed the word "six weeks" was engraved on his mind. So I continued.
"It's really nice you have done lots of hard training this summer because those practices are all deposited in the bank now. You have already completed all necessary training and immediately packaged and deposited them into the bank.”
At that time, I felt Yuzuru seemed to smile a little. So I asked Yuzuru again, "What is your goal?" Then he responded immediately, "Win at the Olympics". I said: "Got it. If it's your dream, the possibility of achieving it is very high." I added: "I don't know if you will break the record, and I don't know if it will become the highest score in the world, but you can win."
Yuzuru looked at me with serious eyes. I also seriously looked at him and said those words.
"So let's focus only on winning and find out what we have to do in order to win. If so, we may not need 4Lutz. No, there will be no 4Lutz. Depending on the recovery of your feet, perhaps you are able to jump it, but you can win even if no 4Lutz included. You have skating technique accumulated over the past six years, as well as outstanding jumps and choreography. So you can win. Don't need 4Lutz if your pride permitted. In this way, you can aim at your goal."
Then Yuzuru said, "I successfully jumped once." So I said, "Aw, indeed you made it once. You have succeeded. OK. Checkmark. Let's delete 4Lutz from your To Do List!"
Yuzuru looked relatively relieved a lot. I'm not sure whether this feeling came from the confidence of "Perhaps I can win", or the sense of relief from “It's still possible to win”. I guess his actual mood should be very complicated, but I told him the two keywords "six weeks to be in time" and "No 4Lutz". That was all I could do at that time, or it was enough for me to do these two things.
Visualize images of jumps and spins in mind
Two weeks after the conversation, I visited Yuzuru's apartment with Tracy. To our surprise, Yuzuru has already begun to do as much as possible toward the Olympic Games. He also became back to that confident and motivated Yuzuru as usual.
In Yuzuru's words, it was "visualization". In other words, he did a lot of practice like doing image training while watching the videos. Watch past videos many times and put those images in the body. Yuzuru has done lots of this training for a long time, and it was a very effective practice that in order not to forget the feeling of jumps. While receiving treatment, he also developed some land training plans for the part outside the injury and completed them.
One thing I must tell everyone here is that the treatment, rehabilitation, and strategic plans for the Olympics were all made by Yuzuru himself rather than us. Yuzuru developed these plans independently based on the advice of doctors and physiotherapists. He was able to overcome the difficulties and walked through that extremely hard road to the Olympics. It was not our credit. After the injury, Yuzuru tried his best to set foot on the Olympics stage. He independently made various plans and actually implemented them. By constant conversations with himself, Yuzuru became stronger both mentally and physically.
Looking at Yuzuru being strong again, we also became optimistic and discussed plans for the Olympics. Yuzuru said that no matter how fast, the day of returning to practice on the ice should be in December. Until then, he would not appear in the cricket club and wanted to concentrate on the care and training that was decided by himself. Because the treatment had been left to doctors and physiotherapists, certainly I said "OK" for Yuzuru's plan.
When asked about the injury degree, he said it was all concentrated on the right ankle area. It was the salvation that at least there was no pain in his knee. If knees were injured, he could not make it in time for the Olympics.
November and December passed without Yuzuru appearing in the club. However, he kept in touch with me during that period. What's the condition of the foot injury, what kind of training is he doing, and what did doctors say. Without the time for his favorite games, without having a leisure time for daze and relaxing, he truly did the 24-hour image training. From bystander's view, it seemed he was only standing or sitting there, but Yuzuru was constantly visualizing images of jumps and spins in his mind. He had been doing image training to make his body not forget those feelings.
Yuzuru spent the two months in a very intelligent way. I felt very reliable to see his growing and becoming a mature young man. Every time I opened the email sent from Yuzuru, I felt like seeing the light of hope for the Olympics.
