Long way to Galustyan, but on the road girl!

 

[Jeschke]

I should love it, but I think that’s too much testosterone, even for me.

That this way would come

What is this trainwreck men locker room moment

No you're not. Who would have thought that despite your taste in ladies you have good ice dance taste .

What the hell? For a new poster in here you have a loose mouth!

He was so intense n the KnC in the LP I had to collect myself

*ROAR ARRRGHH*

Speaking of new posters, I'm glad that TTW - becomes more and more popular with every new event

Short reminder, this is a very important week of one of our first-minute-members:
2nd olympic qualifier competition in Korea!

You can do that Park!

Slay Park
Or don't slay but just go and get that spot


How much our first-minute-members are still on the team though ?

 

[rfisher]

She better grab her chance while she can given the young talent on the rise in Korea. Of course, I think that's the way of it for every athlete. This notion that X can wait their turn is ridiculous. There may not be another turn. Do it now, not tomorrow.

What the hell?

Can someone make a gif of this so we can use it as post reaction?

(or in general... if anyone has time on their hands.. there are so many k&c reaction that would be appropriate for this thread: tsareva, tursy's mom, 'but it's Russia', Donohue stripping, etc...)

I wish she could let her hair fly during competition. Imagine the hairography!

I really need her on the Olympics team. She did get kind of screwed on her GP assignments, I really think she could have made the final if she got Skate Canada or America instead of Rostelecom.

He's my boy as well
And I haven't given up on him.

And as I have noticed before, we have more or less same favorites with @rfisher . And it's definitely bad for them, me and my nervous

The Legend

I sincerely hope that The Legend is Perkova and not TM2 [/QUOTE]

You know the answer yourself!

You truly have to embrace and understand #tillthebitterend to be a #TTW follower.

There are only three skaters, who I consider as real , like REAL, trainwrecks (and who are currently competing ): Leonova, Pogo and Han Yan

 

[Jeschke]

Based on Japanese criteria, Sakamoto has to win nationals to get the nod. So does Miahara. If either Higuchi or Miyahara win, the other goes. I don't know if that will encourage or discourage everybody else.

I think your calculation misses one point.
In a scenario like...
1) Higuchi (or Miyahara)
2) Mihara
3) Sakamoto
...Miyahara (or Higuchi) would be left home .
(I assume both get GPF due to Med injury and calculate with that)

So for all besides them:
- win nationals, or get one of higuchi/miyahara off the podium.

Pah. Perkova it isn't. It's da legend!
This club's name is not #teamperkova

It's not #DaLegend either

So, what are the prospects for a Russian Olympic Team of Leonova, Pogorilaya, and Sakhanovich?

Beating Liza at her own game

 

[alchemy void]

Honestly speaking, I know the best thing I can do in my life is to skate and bring joy to the audience. And I'm enjoying skating right now. I love to feel people's support, their ovation. It is important for me to feel that I am not forgotten, and it motivates me.

Awwwwwwww Perkova, this makes me smile.

Although now I do feel slightly bad for changing my avatar to Derbina, but I just needed to switch it up a bit.

I hope Leonova’s new found consistency (two clean competitions in a row!) will help her to loosen up a little bit more in the LP—I need more intense Bollywood face, just not during the footwork sequence! I’m glad she’s motivated and hope to see her on the Grand Prix next season (Challenger Series at a minimum).

I think Mura should get to join when he is inevitably left off the Olympic team in favor of Tanaka, who is quite a himself. I still feel like he should be on the team anyways, because of multiple -deluxe skates, that monstrosity of a mole on his eyebrow, and his affinity for feathers . But alas rules.

On the other hand I will be happy if Tanaka makes it to the Olympics because at this point he deserves it (I am a fan and although bossman is not, even he can agree with it). Murakami i is injured and Mura’s TES isn’t stacking up to even the ladies these days.

Only a plane crash of 1961 proportions with Eteri and Buyanova's team on it would make that team possible and we DO NOT want that.

If someone predicts that and it happens, forget LuckySergei. I want them to pick the lottery numbers for me and I'm going to the Olympics! After I wave goodbye to my employer as I fly away.

So for all besides them:
- win nationals, or get one of higuchi/miyahara off the podium.

Doesn't the winner automatically go, then they default to the GPF and so on? So, if either Higuchi or Miyahara win, they're in. Since the other will be the only GPF entry (I agree that Med might WD if her foot is still in a cast) then the other of the two goes. Or am I totally wrong on the Japanese rules? Which is extremely possible.

We don't need a plane crash -- Heaven forbid! All we need is a (figurative) trainwreck!

Either that or those three need to skate their best and the judging needs to be fair.
