Eek! This is really long.
I won't be able to do a full summary today (reports. grr
) but the first page mainly discusses his excitement to be able to continue skating as a pro and what he's doing recently - skating in shows, providing choreo for other skaters, etc. Some of the questions have been asked before, like how Jeff felt about retiring, what he wants to achieve as a professional skater, etc. He also mentions that he plans to visit Lake Arrowhead once in a while to visit friends and catch up with Rafael (Arutunian).
He mentions the Japanese skaters since the interviewer asks about being able to perform with them in ice shows, and talks about:
-how he experienced practicing with them before
-talks about how they are all unique, but still have the same passion for the sport
-respects Takeshi as one of the best jumpers he has seen, talks about practicing together previously at Paris
-Nobu as a fun person, and a reliable competitor
-has only known Kozu for a short period, but finds him talented and polite
-adores Shizuka! Mentions being moved by her gold @ Torino
-loves practicing with Miki, but always feels overwhelmed by her jumping ability
-enjoys watching Yukari, describes her as a soft and elegant skater
-impressed with how seriously Mao + Mai train, mentions they are fun to be around. He's impressed by the bond they have, and finds them cute. Aww.
