They start out talking about non-skating stuff, but they get to skating in a bit. Apparently he's been out with another injury at that point due to having gained too much weight and having over-strained his knees, but he's back now and quite set on being at the next Olympics, and apparently he has all his triples and his quad-triple combinations back at interview time. Only thing he's worried about is how the new judging rules for levels of step sequences and such are going to work for/against his programme. probably worth noting, interview is from 2009.
