if you rewatch the video 10000000x as i did, you can see that right after this moment, morgan gets up to do his striptease, and then john stands up to give morgan a hug, and john says to morgan: you’re following in my footsteps.

in 2002, john zimmerman placed fifth at the olympics with kyoko ina and then they won the bronze at the world championships. just as james/cipres did this year.

shoutout to the soft-spoken, laid back, unassuming coach that is john zimmerman. 

we love you john and thank you <3 <3 <3

Interview with James/Cipres starts at 2:24.

Translation via Lived In Inch @ Golden Skate forums:

Morgan Ciprès: It's happiness. It's a dream. Like I said, I didn't think I could get a World medal this season. We thought about the Olympic Games, we thought especially about Europeans. We didn't get anything at Europeans. We don't care today. We got a World medal. It's been eighteen years since it happened in France, for France for pairs. It's all happiness. We fought. It was really hard last week. We almost didn't come here. It's a dream today. We are happy.
