Excerpts from the interview
03:55-
-I'm wondering about your impressions of tonight as an opening question.
Luca: We still know that we have lots of things to work on for Sochi. We want to improve a few aspects. Our performance tonight was solid and good. But we can still do much much better. We know it. We have done it in practice every day. But it's the sport. We have to put out the right performance at the right time. For tonight, this was the right performance. But we can still work on lots of stuff to do much better.
10:40-
Penny and Nicholas, you chose the totally different music than the others. It delivered most classical. But your music was the show. People loved it in the arena. What was the background for this decision?
Nicholas: The music was the decision we almost made toward the end of last season. Obviously, we love Michael Jackson's music. Who doesn't? We wanted to go into Sochi. We wanted to go into Sochi with something that we knew the audience can connect with. We knew that they like. We knew a lot of teams go for classical music because they have such the connection with the Russian audience. But they also connect with MJ, something you can kind of be along with and really feel at the same time. That's why we came toward the decision.
