champ

ion, gold medalist, Meryl Davis, hey, let's go skate a little, uh. You skate, I'll see you, let's try a little, I'd probably be a Dancing with the Stars

champ

ion. I love Los Angeles every time I come to Los Angeles. I feel like it's my second home. I love the atmosphere here. I love the feeling of creativity that you can order. to be found everywhere, everyone plays to form their own path, which I love.

Ellen got the gold medal, yeah, you got a silver medal, then the bronze with the group, that's it, yeah, two worlds, oh I think that's six US titles, I got six Grand Prix, five Grand Prix , excuse me, I don't even know, she doesn't know, tell me what, you don't know what I want for the rest of my life, one has the idea that you will achieve it. your lifelong dream and you achieve your goals and that's it, you're just happy for the rest of your life and I think what's interesting is that Charlie and I won the Olympics, which is amazing, but it's interesting to try to find out.

What's next after something like that besides ice

skating

? What do you do for a living? How do you maintain this perfect physique when we were preparing to compete? A lot of exercise, not just

skating

, but also in the gym three days a week, a lot of cardio. abdominal weightlifting things like that, but now I like to do a little less exercise, a little less exercise, I have a little left for camp, so now I mainly do skating. I actually love staying active and feel like an athlete. You start to thrive with that feeling of taking care of your body and knowing what you're doing for yourself and that just makes you feel better.

You want to feed yourself a little. How familiar are you with the whole food thing? how comfortable you are, what goes back, you got it, so what you want to do is start with your feet open and then with the momentum of your arms, I'm afraid, like pull in and twist, okay? I'm so glad I caught the fall on camera, do you know what a rite of passage is? I think she did it. We all have to get there at some point. Okay, you want a high kick. That guy is going down. That guy is definitely involved.

You love it? Being in a nice ring, I do, it's definitely my comfort zone. I think I feel more comfortable skating than walking. You know, when you walk you have to keep pushing yourself, whereas when you skate you can just keep going, which I like, why don't you jump there? Yes, yes, that's exactly like you have to go up a little bit more next time. I feel like we're in Rocky and I'm totally Adrian right now so I say anything it's one of the four fingers getting discipline it's more dramatic and emotional theater oh yeah thanks it looks good I love it you really love eating I know, yeah, but you can't tell it from your body again, so I have to call you on your Twitter account you just posted a photo of this burrito that on the side of my head as skaters we burn so many calories and I don't think I can always eat as I do or as much as I do.

Now, but for now I'm lucky to be able to indulge when I want to break down your menu because I need to know what you eat. A dessert every night. I am a dessert, but every day I found desserts like chocolate. - Honey covered chunks that are amazing and a little healthier than maybe other breakfast options. When I workout, it's usually a couple of nine-grain whole wheat toast with almond butter. When I train a lot, I do green. Tea instead of coffee just because it's a little better, but I'm also a chocolatier. I'm addicted to caffeine so coffee when possible, yeah right, if I'm really training hard I'll make a pretty heavy sandwich which I don't want.

You'll get hit there, but these skaters are good. I could do that. You could probably get a triple axle. I understand exactly. You know, you're doing a lot of television. Now you have the Colgate series. That's right, the Colgate skating series. He is receiving a gymnastics program. Shall we dance in a show presented by Colgate? Shall We Dance presented by Paul Mitchell? Yes, I'm busy traveling all the time and on the road. You know what I love about ice skating dancers. You can wear thick socks. Yes, I think something like that. It may not be so funny that you say that because that was my only thing going into Dancing with the Stars, but I just didn't do it, I couldn't understand that without any comments, having a dress, having a leotard and having nothing on your legs. , I feel like it's a little intimidating.

Family has probably been one of the most key components to our success, so Charlie and I were lucky enough to grow up in the Detroit area, which is really a jump from figure skating, you know? There are the best trainers in the world in Detroit, so a lot of people have to move across the country or even to another country to get the training they need, but Charlie and I had it in our backyard, which is amazing because it meant We could stay with our families and live with our families and go to high school and do normal things and luckily our moms traveled with us to every competition, which is crazy, but they're the best.

I won't even dare to do it. what you do is fine, but give me a little touch Meryl Davis a little touch it's okay, it's okay, I love you little, I can do that, you can, a couple more

lessons

and you'll be hanging around this place, baby, al professional, amazing work, thank you. You too, good lesson, you just killed it, just so you know that the only one, even the best, falls, sometimes I forget that it is because of you, because it is the best and when you fall, what do you do? You gotta get back up, boom.
