Something I could never make out...

Those quotes are interesting. It's been a while since I watched this movie. Pamchenko's "mother tongue" is obviously Russian, but the first part looks and phonetically sounds more like Spanish than any of the northern European languages. Incidentally, esperar in Spanish is an infinitive meaning "to wait" or "to hope"; while tibia = "warm".

*Gets out DVD*... Unfortunately there's no English subtitles on my copy, just French and Spanish -- I had to get them from the TV. We're helped somewhat by the fact that Pamchenko briefly lapses into Russian intermittently throughout the movie, which gives us a basis for comparison. From the coach's earlier dialogue following the Nationals competition, we know "gelanya" = "desire"; along with the phrases "legano" and "ni legano," which doesn't sound Russian at all -- maybe Italian? I don't know. Google Translate identifies it as Italian; and based on Pamchenko's gesture and comment, "Is grey area" he's probably saying "Legal/not legal" or something to that effect.

At the Nationals, it is captioned ousperha tebea, which Pamchenko verbally self-translates as "good luck". He later says it again at the Olympics, when it is spelled esphera tebea along with the zhelayu udache. The French and Spanish subtitles don't caption it at all, so I'm sorry that didn't help.

Regardless of the exact translation, we know from the context that Pamchenko is personally expressing his approval, admiration and affection towards them as both individuals and a couple; and giving them encouragement and support for their big moment they've worked so hard toward for so long. It's just really a sweet scene from the movie, and one of my favorites! :)
