Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tarah Kayne
Q: When you were coming back from, you think your hip injury was first. Do you think that if you had said, actually, I want to wait until I'm feeling stronger, you would have had support?
I don't think I even considered that.
Peter Grütter
Q: What do you hope for from the future of figure skating?
I hope that people don't totally forget the beginning and that we find a name in every language that means the same.
Peter Grütter
Q: What was it like for you going to the Olympics?
That was a big, that was almost a miracle because I wasn't the champion in this country.
Peter Grütter
Q: How does it feel for you now seeing your former student now having students of his own and building this school in Champery?
It's very exciting for me and I'm curious to see the show tonight.
Khoudia Touré
Q: What are your thoughts on using acrobatic elements like backflips in skating?
Khoudia believes in balancing technical elements with emotional expression and that acrobatic moves should complement rather than dominate a performance.
