Bet Tomas is glad to be back home after the long plane ride! Did any of you meet him at the airport? Wish I could understand all those articles, could make out some words, I think, like "little sad about not getting medal", "not the best skater", re Vancouver, "if he does a clean skate". Anyway, anyone translate some for us? Maybe one day I'll be able to read this if I keep trying. Anyway, good job Tomas, enjoy the season end.

Satisfied Tomas Verner will do exams and has new music. kolinsky.denik.cz/zimni_sporty/spokojeny-verner-bude-zkouset-na-novou-hudbu.htmlPrague - Czech figure skater showed at the world championships that he belongs to the best of the world. Tired and sleepy Tomas Verner sat down in a chair at the airport in Prague. "But the main thing is, is that I am home" smiled Tomas Verner, who was 4th at the world championships in LA. He came back home satisfied. "I showed that I belong to the world top" After the decline at worlds last year and at europeans, he found his way back to the top, and his psychological state is good. This time it was carolina, your trainingpartner who failed psychologically. Will you give her advice how to get back on track after this crisis?It's a situation one cannot envy. Last year she won silver, this year nothing. After her LP I spent the entire evening with her. I am a person who can help her the most of anybody. And I will do just that, so she can climb out of this. You already grabbed yourself together. will you take anything into the olympic season? That at the end of the season it worked for me. I start from a much better point than last year. I can enter the olympic season with good spirit and knowing that the new training method worked. Isn't it very hard to skate your SP and LP fully every training??It proved good to me. The first 2 weeks was very difficult, but afterwards I adapted. I taught myself that for the LP I should not be afraid. To have respekt for it yes, but to be afraid no. To come back after 15th place was more difficult than to just go up all the time. Will you prepare new programs for the Olympic season?I already have an idea for the SP and I also have music for it, I won't say what it is though. For the LP I look for a new motive, but I plan to change it. But maybe I won't get to that and I will just change a few things to this years LP. For sure it won't be exactly the same. (TOMMASSSSSSIII!!! Stop thinking about getting other music for the LP pleaaaaaaaaaaseee?? xx Dee)Why would you not be able to change the LP?Due to a consultation with my choreographers and trainers, when their opinion should be different. When a person skates a program for the 2nd year in a row, a person can "live" it more. I just want to make something different, be special, so that people will say: WOW! Now that we haven't seen before! Like for example you add another quad?Already last year I tried the 4S. Just so far I haven't been able to really get it consistent. We will see how it goes next year. When will you start training fully again?In 2 weeks I will start my off ice preperation. But my skates I would like to put somewhere else for a month or so. In may I will get back on ice, in June I will go to Canada to make my new programs. and when do you start studying?From the 4th *smiles* . I have a lot of exams, my hand was hurting after I signed up for them all.

sportreport.lidovky.cz/verner-jsem-nejlepsi-bruslar-sveta-dub-/ln-sport-rozhovory.asp?c=A090331_181137_ln-sport-rozhovory_mis"I AM THE BEST FIGURE SKATER IN THE WORLD!" ( somehow I love it LOL!)When he left los angeles he still had some sadness in his soul. (WELL better than death ;D ;D ) . When he came to Prague on tuesday he was allright already. 4th place is a fab. result. Tomas Verner smiled after coming back from LA. How far away was bronze for you, if we dismiss the 4 points?I don't want to sound too overly ambitious, but realistic wasn't just bronze. At the end of my free skate I made 2 mistakes, as in 2 triples were only doubles, I just lost my concentration. If I had not made these 2 mistakes I could have thought about silver, and if I didn't do the mistake in the SP I perhaps could have gotten the gold. On the other hand, 4th place is a good result for me, and outside that it meant I kept my place on the ISU ranking. Don't you feel that the judges perhaps took it into account that you were not so good at the last few championships??There are some discussion wether or not I should have been 3rd, but I do not agree with that. I did 2 huge mistakes in my LP and you just don't do that at these big championships. But I liked to hear after the competition that they were glad to catch a glimpse of my difficult LP. Because to EDIT*censored word* up (well he doesn't use that word....but... it sounds fitting to me) a competition for the 3rd time would be too much. did you learn something from this for the olympic season?Again I can enter the preperation in good spirits and know that my training methods have worked. To train the programs fully every training really got me some results. So I already know that if I will do this the entire year, my preperation will be better than the other competitors/ With the 4th place in LA you repeated the result you had in Tokyo. Which 4th place is more important to you?The 4th place in tokyo was a huge success for me. However I value this 4th place more. To come back after 15th place in Goteborg was more difficult and I hope I can keep the vibe for next season. Do you already know what your programs will look like for the olympics?In the SP I will jump a quad again, because I don't want to take a step back. And the LP? I would like to skate it this way, that people will say; WOW, we haven't seen that before! In LA you said you want a medal next season, can we understand that as that you want to take a medal home from Vancouver?I don't want to talk about medals ahead of the competition. According to the ISU rankings I am the best figure skater in the world. I almost move myself among the best, but everyoen from the top has some kind of big medal, and I am the only one who is "only" european champion. So you think about wether or not I want a medal from Europeans, Worlds or Olympics next year.

thank you very much for the traduction deedeelocks. for me tomas is the best because no other skater can feel myself so emocional like tomas. with tomas i smile i cry but i'm happy with his programs. i remember the large program in european championship i was crying all time during his program i cry with his tango medley and with others skaters if they fall i'm indiferent. someday i would like to know him... but i think it was very dificult, because in spain there isn't no important figure skating champions, in spain figure skating is not very important...

Take a cheap flight and visit Tomas in CZE or in Germany Figure Skating is not so important in my country either so I search it elsewhere. Spain atleast has JAVIER! Loads of people lurve him and I am one of them he's a great talent. ... here is another article with a few new bits, I translate what is new: sport.idnes.cz/jak-uspet-na-olympiade-bauer-hleda-lyze-na-vodu-verner-volnou-jizdu-1fq-/sporty.asp?c=A090331_173011_sporty_bb- his psychologist didn't only help him with stuff on ice, but also off the ice. And with Tomas that is like working with a set of bones. ;D what he will do to stay healthy:"in contrast to my main competitors I came through the season without any major injuries. ( thank GOD and please keep on taking care of yourself Tomas ! xx Dee ) I "borrowed" the physio from my trainingpartner caro, and I will make use of his services in the future too. I started working with him intesively since this season and that was a smart move. When I arrived to LA I had a sore neck from the plane, but he put me back together again. He also taught me a lot of tips and tricks to prevent injury" How he will find the equipment:Some firm from the US gave me some ultramodern skates to test. It's a nice gesture but if I will use them I don't know. I have been skating on the same brand of skates for 8 years now and if something works you shouldn't change that. His skates cost about 30.000czech crowns about euros in TallinnI have to get rid of my curse skating competitions in northern countries I messed up worlds in Sweden and Europeans in Helsinki and on top of that in Malmo in 2003 I injured myself. (I am inclined to say he'd just withdraw to avoid major complications before Olys ;D xx Dee)

Thanks Dee for the translation (sorry I don't understand this: "that is like working with a set of bones" ) So he shouldn't miss 2010 Worlds, definitively Italy is a southern country.... ;D
