Vaytsekhovskaya's interview with Orser: "in my 'kitchen' there is no place for the second cook"

[Sylvia]

...I can read stuff in Russian, and the recent Vaitsekhovskaya interview [with Brian Orser] at the Worlds 2018 got translated somewhere else (I intended to translate it once I made it back from Milan, but decided it wasn’t worth it anymore). It was an interesting interview.
It just makes me smile and wonder why Orser interviews are hardly ever discussed in this forum. But whatever.

Any discussion in a forum relies on the people participating to bring up topics they feel are worthy/interesting/etc.

Here is the Brian Orser interview in Milan that was published on March 23: https://rsport.ria.ru/interview/20180322/1134420347.html

Here's the link to the Google translation into English.

Lol - I guess FS Gossip translation is going to be more effective than google translation.

Yeah, that 2014 interview sounds very exciting considering it’s four years old.

I thought it was a good interview with Orser 4 years ago -- original source: http://fsrussia.ru/files/docs/fs_magazine_dec14.pdf
The English translation was later posted by the interviewer, Tatjana Flade, here: http://www.figureskating-online.com/brian-orser.html

Q: Do you think men’s skating is going towards more and more quads?

Brian: Yes, it will happen. Javi has had some success with the quad loop and we discussed this before and this last summer. I just think he didn’t get his head wrapped around it, I think just because of the Olympics, we have what we have. But now we have another quadrennial and maybe it’s time that we introduce the quad loop and that maybe will be our project this summer to try to maybe focus on that. Yuzuru would be the same, he will do the Sal and the toe for now. Not sure if he’ll get a quad loop, maybe a quad Axel before that, it’s so big (laughs).

There was also a Korean interview with Orser (conducted around the Olys) that got summarized in English in this twitter thread:

Brian Orser leads Connaught Skating seminar: http://www.vancourier.com/sports/brian-orser-leads-connaught-skating-seminar-1.23264454

So how was Connaught able to convince him to make a quick visit to Richmond to run a two-day seminar for a grassroots club?
It has a lot do with a close relationship he has with coaches Keegan and Eileen Murphy. Orser was in Richmond six years earlier as well.
As much as the skaters benefit from his presence, it’s the coaches who will gain the most from the visit. On top of the Connaught staff, instructors from elsewhere were invited as special guests.

Orser will also lead a camp in Granada, Spain, July 9-14, with Javier Fernandez.
