#TeamTrainwreck 14: "I Don't Care. #StillHere"

[rfisher]

She's going for a Poodle fake. The other night my female Poodle was stamping her feet at me. That means she wants something. I'd just got into bed. I got up to let her out. My male Poodle was stretched out on the sofa. They are Standard Poodles so he took up the entire sofa. He jumped up to go too, and she immediately jumped up on the sofa and stretched out. She totally faked both of us out. RAD was just doing a Poodle fake two weeks ago. Plus she's got to make TAT eat her words. I believe

Radionova WD from SA

 

[Jeschke]

You jinxed it vice, you seriously did

 

[Ka3sha]

You jinxed it vice, you seriously did

Good news: Perkova or Sakhanovich have a chance to grad that spot

 

[Jeschke]

Only in theory, if Radio withdraws from her 2nd GP too, is her nationals ticket still safe?
(not that i would expect her to show up then)
@Ka3sha

2nd theoretical question: if radio withdraws early from her 2nd gp, can another russian lady get her spot? or can't be another russian named as the spots were maximumed in the original selection?
@kwanfan1818

3rd bizarre question: How are Perkova's chances getting a GP spot?

SA is way too close, or?

+ ABBA-girl!

 

[Ka3sha]

SA is way too close, or?

Pogo also WD on Monday last year and Sakhanovich still got her spot.
And I assume that both have American visas

 

[alchemy void]

I was really hoping Radionova would show up. Withdrawing on a Monday doesn’t allow much time for a replacement.

Here are the skaters on the SB list, in order, who would still be eligible for an assignment at SA:

Perkova
Sakhanovich
Ensoo Lim
Mikhailova
Guliakova
Kitty
Hanul Kim
So Hyun An
Kailiani Crane
Matilda Algotsson
Viveca Lindfors

I’m guessing it’s probably too late and too cost-prohibitive to get any of these skaters into Skate America at this point. If cost isn’t an issue, Leonova might probably be most attractive, just because she’s the #1 ranked skater without an assignment, and isn’t likely to threaten for the podium, unlike Sakhanovich or especially Lim. And of course she’s always a crowd favorite.

But regardless I’ll be refreshing the GP thread all day long.

Radionova is giving us some Pablo Picasso realness on insta this morning:

Fight!

 

[Cayuse]

Eunsoo Lim and Kalini Crane train in the US.

 

[SamuraiK]

Eunsoo Lim for the has been Radio late minute wd!!!

Seriously, she's training at Raf's camp right now. She's the obvious choice.

And please Radio wd soon from your 2nd GP to avoid this nonsense (same goes for Gabby).

 

[Jeschke]

Radio withdraws, Pogo skates this weekend. Both news on one day.
What a ride for us #ttw fans

I don't get it. Translation makes no sense at all in german. What does it say?

 

[Vagabond]

In English: "Everything imaginable is real." Or "Everything you can imagine is real." It's not supposed to make literal sense.

 

[SamuraiK]

I don't get it. Translation makes no sense at all in german. What does it say?

She's quoting Picasso - "Everything imaginary is real". I understand it as she's even more delusional about her current chances among the russian field than her TTW fans.

The translation from Russian to English is:

Everything you can imagine is real. -Pablo Picasso

with a rose emoji afterwards. I think that means she is imagining she is going to slay at her next GP event.

Hardly! See below, dear SamuraiK.

Next good news:
Grm vs Weinzierl vs at Golden Bear.

So of all those other russians out there, Kitty is the first one getting an international Senior-B

Awesome field!

LOL, instead of "until the bitter end" with Radio should be "until the ship sinks"

@kwanfan1818

Original selection not relevant, only the field as of the withdrawal. So, theoretically, yes, another Russian Lady can take her place, if she has the right travel visa in place or is already in the US. Only JPN and USA are maxxed out.

Would love Perkova, but, if USFS does a very last-minute replacement, I'm guessing with someone who trains in NA.

 

[SmallFairy]

Oh Lil' Rose.... Is this end? Or is the ship still sailing/train still rolling?

Such a bummer, but I guess not surprising. Sigh. And will Pogo turn up at her event? This week started with heartbreak, how will it evolve??

This is awesome! Thread title alert!
I borrow this caption! Awesome @SamuraiK

Dare you!

 

[Dobre]

You jinxed it vice, you seriously did

And just who was it that put Elena on the team, hmm?

Pressman? SamuraiK?

Thankfully I'm not powerful like Bossman. #hopedieslast

It's the week of Skate America aka as the worst skated GP event every season so...
