Olympic Summer Grind | Minerva HASE / Nikita VOLODIN (GER) | #SkateToMilano

Hello, what are you doing? So we're starting with some elements, then we maybe do off-ice, we didn't decide yet. Do something. Do something. And then we will work on our short program with Marc Coulee and hopefully finish it today. Then we will go up the mountain with our coach and his wife. So a lot of plans for today. And they take me also. They take you as well? Yeah, we take him as well today. He doesn't have to go home and chill in his room. Because we have to get fit for the Olympics. You know, it's part of his German test to discuss, so we are practicing in our practice every day now, really hard. Yeah, he's always coming in and it's like, Mini, I need to discuss, so let's discuss. So that's why he... Discuss every minute. Yeah, it's our favorite thing. You can do it. Why are you pushing me forward? Because you're heavy. Feels amazing. I love it. Especially with this guy, because he's doing a great job. We're gonna go get a coffee to have energy for the choreo session. Just waiting for my partner, because he always needs to chill. What does it actually feel like to do a twist lift? It kind of feels amazing in the air, like flying and, I don't know, getting thrown high and then catching is really soft. It feels like, I don't know, it's just a unique feeling. But the technique behind this element is just so crazy. Like it's just that both of us need to work perfectly in synchronization together. It's so hard to get that perfection, to get all the levels. We're working hard on that split for the next season, so we get the level four. And we're feeling now like that's hard, like that's not gonna easy to change the technique, because I'm used to not doing it now. So it's a lot of work, but it's getting better. And we hope that we can have still the distance with the split in it. You can see that competition if we can do it. Now we do short program choreo with Mark. We enjoy this moment. We need to done this program before small rollout, but we have next week. You're a sport... sportsman. Sportlerin. Oh, what is that? Even a European champion needs... Sportler. ...off time. It's really pretty. Yeah, even Nikita is doing some videos now. Do you like the view? You are? That's amazing. I can't imagine like in winter skiing here. It's beautiful. It's always the season of skiing is over when we are done, so... Mini, but now we can go more higher? No, I think this is the highest point here. It's the highest point? Yeah. Because the other lift was not working, that's why we had to go directly up. Ah, okay. Was being scared of heights worth the view? A little bit, but now I feel better. No. Yeah, well, it's a wrap. That was our day. Thank you for following along and see you at competitions. Bye. See you.
