#TeamTrainwreck 9: Next Splat Station: Pyeongchang

[rfisher]

I'm always nervous for her and DivaSusie as well. I used to watch Kwan skate by peaking through my fingers as I paced around the room. During the Sochi free skate, I jumped every jump with Adelina counting to 7 and then I started to breath again. I considered taking up free diving since I was so good at holding my breath

 

[Areski]

Well, I got it. I'm sad to admit it but I agree with you
Still hope that LaTuk will She is from St Petersburg and Nationals will be held there, so she may get the bonus and maybe the Fed will want to please Mishin... so the hope dies last as you may see



meant that I'm nervous for the Empress now

I am clueless. Who's the Empress?

And why Bychenko is all of a sudden porny?

I'm not sure If there're any skaters right now for whom I'm really nervous...
Probably Pogo and Hubbell/Donohue, their last year free skates in Helsinki affected on my nerves too badly

Elvis landed the 4L in practice according to Jackie Wong.

 

[Xela M]

I don't think there has ever been a skater who has defined Team Trainwreck more than Elena Ilinykh - and she managed to do that without even being a member!

 

[RoseRed]

Hurtado/Khaliavin WD from Minsk
(the reason of the withdrawal is great though, Kirill should go to Madrid to get his passport )

Where'd you see that? Just wondering because I noticed they are still on the start order.

?

Savchenko of course.

Dying with anticpation for tomorrow. All the fields at this event are chock full of , , , and potential!

Also I am becoming very intrigued by Larkyn Austmann and may be jumping on her bandwagon by the end of the weekend (do not let me down Alaine! ), if nothing else she has been owning the catsuit during practices and looking rather regal out there. I mistook her for Pogo and Sotskova a few times which in her case is definitely a good thing!

[Wyliefan]

Sad, innit. I think Sotskova and Zagatova will join Medvedeva.

That's what I think too. Unfortunately. I wish little Rose could make it, but I'm getting less and less optimistic about that. Maria and Alina don't do much for me, although I do have to admire Maria's consistency.

I used to watch Kwan skate by peaking through my fingers as I paced around the room.

I used to do the same with Butyrskaya in the late 90s, too. At least Kwan barely ever fell!

I'm not sure If there're any skaters right now for whom I'm really nervous...
Probably Pogo and Hubbell/Donohue, their last year free skates in Helsinki affected on my nerves too badly

My current really really nervous list:

Perkova
Pogo
Dasa
Susie/Klimov
James/Cipres
Elvis is getting there, too.

Elvis landed the 4L in practice according to Jackie Wong.

Slay Elvis!! Bring back the MEEPOTS please!

Fantastic preview! This might be the peak weekend of the #TTW season!

Btw you watching even practice on such a busy skating weekend schedule is kinda...insane applaudable!

Insane.

Now I’m trying to rearrange my schedule so I can watch some of Minsk Ice Star on Sunday.

CS Minsk:
- Schott: making a big step towards Korea?
- Sima: being beaten by unknown russian?
- Bock: brining back Steuer-knc-drama?
- Danny_Salmon: being beaten by porny Bychenko?
- Shulepov: raising like delusional bossman hopes to?
- Pavlov: beaten puppy again?

YOU FORGOT LIL SIS!!!!!

BLACK WOLF BLACK WOLF BLACK WOLF.

All of a sudden?
You are so funny

It's white wolf black wolf!

The suspense is killing me.
For gods sake, is here no straight teenage guy in here who can explain this to us?

[SmallFairy]

Loupolover???

 

[morqet]

I am DEEPLY concerned about Pogo She looks so stressed!

 

[SmallFairy]

I am DEEPLY concerned about Pogo She looks so stressed!

She does And that fall was hard, hope she didn't stretch a muscle in her neck or something, she seemed concerned afterwards... ((((Pogo))))

 

[Jeschke]

Kuchvalska 38,46pts.
Need to say more?

Tsareva at the boards! who wouldn't be stressed?!

 

[rfisher]

I fear Anna knows it's crunch time and she doesn't do well under pressure.

 

[Areski]

Ouch (I bet there was an actual ouch included too). Even Ice Princess of Luxembourg Fleur Maxwell could beat her here.

 

[Jeschke]

Ouch (I bet there was an actual ouch included too).

No deductions, so no splat, so no ouch.
Byebye watchlist!

 

[pinky166]

I fear Anna knows it's crunch time and she doesn't do well under pressure.

I fully support her representing Ukraine after this season if it means we still get to see her skate. Like I don’t care that much if she isn’t as good, she and Tsareva are nice to look at and she always brings the drama. Viva Pogo!

 

[Vagabond]

Who keeps our #ttw-terminology up to date? please hand over one copy to @Areski

Certainly not me. I had to do a search to figure out what COTN stood for and to whom it referred.

Any idea what this is about? Did I miss a #CutieShibnev scandal?

 

[Ka3sha]

Katsalapov (or Viktoria, we don't have a video yet) fecked up the lift in Minsk, I Just Can't with him
Elena&Nikita were my favorite russian ice dance team in last ten/fifteen years or so (I enjoyed Domnina but wasn't like really ubering them ), I was when they broke up but hoped that at least one of them will make it to Korea and now Elena is trying to qualify for Nationals (!!!) and Nikita obviously lost his last chance to prove something with that mistake
I mean, I know that they are lazy, don't work really hard and make stupid decisions but the heart wants what it wants


Sorry for posting this here but I'm just soooo and right now

I think she's good enough. She's demonstrated that many times, and her exhibitons are brilliant. She doesn't have Radionova's competitive grit. She gets into her head too much and then it's all down hill. With Rad, it's her jumps and adjusting to her new grown up self. With Pogo, it's confidence and the will to fight for what she wants. I hope our fears are groundless, but I'll be very surprised if she gets bronze this weekend. It would take a skating miracle for her to beat Sotskova and Osmond. I just want her to beat Wagner.
