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

[SmallFairy]

I may have meant handcar? (I have no idea what it's called either, but I know what I MEANT!)

I absolutely have no clue what it's called in any other language than Norwegian either, but it's that thing you get to roll along the tracks by pushing a handle up and down, and in cartoons the do it really fast and it's hilarious-like Wile E. Coyote.

There's also a bicycle type of handcar, that you pedal along the tracks. You can hire them at our abandoned lines in Norway.
But Misha is for sure using the original one with the handle. I seriously need to make a drawing of him happen

I'm having a hot bath before ladies! Spend all day outdoors taking photos at work today, so I'm exhausted. (Was watching men while I was supposed to take photos ) I bought tropical bathing foam!
Sorry pairs! (Not sorry) (Not sorry for details on bathing foam either ) See you for Gracie comeback in not long!!!!

 

[alchemy void]

Bagin better start begging wock_jabber back!

 

[SmallFairy]

Mozer's mullet is really one of the best I've ever seen! Trankov looking quite good, he shares the hairdresser with Fentz. Trankov little detail on the tie was stylish indeed.

Cutie Austrians SP this season is so disappointingly boring. Bring back 500 miles!!!

 

[SmallFairy]

And about Hanyu...we need skaters like him, who make the audience scream like crazy before he´s about to start....the step sequence Oh, the good old Candeloro-Yagudin days!

 

[SmallFairy]

63.43pts
So much satisfaction!
Take this RUS fed ??????

Well someone seem to be dead last, behind Koleto, who switches partners as often as that Israeli pairs dude.

S/S scored 64.33 in the SD at Finlandia. That would have placed them 4th here. M/B are at 51.69. Seriously!

Just to update ....sigh...

 

[Ka3sha]

What a trainwrecky event so far

 

[rfisher]

At least if Zag falls, she'll be in good company. And, no matter what Gracie does, it's going to be OK.

 

[morqet]

What a trainwrecky event so far

(((@Ka3sha))) for having to sit through it all. I have very little hope for the ladies to be much better.

 

[Vagabond]

Kvitelashvili - PMAO that Moris wins the SP amongst the Russians by a large margin and a TES gap by almost 20pts

It's even more than that:

2 Russian-born Georgian 89.94
3 Russian-born Swede 82.33
6 Russian-born American 75.32
8 Kolyada 69.10
9 Dmitriev 67.58
11 Lazukin 62.45

You made my day

 

[rfisher]

Over all what a terrible event. But for Sofia the 2nd!

And, I like Zag and don't care how many people want to bash everything about her. She did her job today.

 

[SmallFairy]

Sofia was fab, I love her! Now onto GPF love, who would have predicted?

 

[Wyliefan]

I didn't predict, but I hoped! She's been flying under the radar all season and I think it's done her good. But we're not there yet. Fingers crossed for tomorrow . . .

 

[Ka3sha]

Highlights of the day:
- Hanyu, Tarasova/Morozov, Zagitova (not a fan of their skating, but that was undeniable very good)
- Anthony Ponomarenko, Khaliavin’s SS
- Samodurova: what an adorable young lady
- Paganini
- Shiraiwa’s smile
- Gracie’s smile
- DM/G
- And you will laugh, but I actually enjoyed Cain/LeDuc today even despite that aborted throw

Overall: Meh
Gosh, I even liked Fenz and Alison Reed today

I start rewatching now the rest


Bossman Rostelecom Cup RD recap:

Overall - 9pairs, who is missing? My mind is not working

M/B - Such a Miki dress for Morozov. In your face RUS fed!
E/B - Bagin, Bazin and Bossman
Y/L - I had a soft spot for them last season but they are totally off so far this year and the really bad programs do not help either
R/A - Yap! Great score for them! Being Zoueva's #1 team to date I am Zoueva is here, as they have trained in Oberstdorf the weeks leading into this GP.
K/K - Forgettable.
H/K - Program does nothing for me And of course Sara is ****ing up my predictions
S/B - I am pleased we always can rely on Bukin bringing the nipple Ya, it's no Tango, but who cares, I love it Especially the Piaf-part. The lashes @Hanna I want you walking through Oberstdorf with those Positive GOE for the Tango1 with that mistake?! Judges, you suck!
K/S - I wonder what's more tragic to my eyes. Their skating or Nowak's hair
C/P - Such a mismatch.

 

[Ka3sha]

It’s not funny, it’s kind of tragic

 

[Ka3sha]

H/K - Program does nothing for me And of course Sara is ****ing up my predictions

Sara is a true head-case
As for the program: it actually feels really tango-ish, unlike most other dances. And I liked their mood and attitude today. Am sure it will look better later in the season.

 

[SmallFairy]

It’s not funny, it’s kind of tragic

Yes, I agree, as a fan of Russian men till the bitter end. The whole thing is just so absurd, who would have thought? That's why I was laughing...

 

[SmallFairy]

maybe I'm too tired now, you weren't quoting me, but I seem to remember I was laughing too? Or maybe this has nothing to do with Russian men at all?
Sorry! Too tired to write a ladies review also. Tomorrow or something.

Bossman Rostelecom Cup Pairs SP recap:

E/K - Efimova finally landing the solo jump only to **** up the throw landing Love her Totmianina-memorial-arms outta the lift! I doubted that SP early in the season, but I really like it for them now. #missiongpf
S/B - Stellato thoughts in knc: 'I am too old for this shit!'
C/L - Good lord, I can't stand that program
P/K - 5yrs from now, when the baby fat is gone, he will be quote hot Good vehicle for them, love the music, still kinda sloppy here and then, but it would be no bummer when they are they laughing ones going to Minsk in the end.
A/W - Yeah, you're nice to look at Harley, but the skating is still Awesome disgusted knc look by her!
Z/K - This is so harmonic and vanilla, I bet that is even too much for @Hanna !
DM/G - That's how it done Aussies #missioneurosmedal ; Pizzocari haircut
T/M - That program I bet @alchemy void is a secret fan, admit!

 

[Laney]

It’s not funny, it’s kind of tragic

I know... I feel with you!
I know the feeling from several competitons...

Bossman Rostelecom Cup Ladies SP recap:

Overall - And Schott WD from this mess event
Matsuda - Thin line between guilty-pleasure and
Gold - Redemption in the FS!
Paganini - Now this was a pleasant surprise Now a non-intentional-doubles-included-fs and I am pleased!
Samodurova - Sofia is such a Mini-Tuk, you have to love her I would have never thought after last season she would be in the mix like that this year
Tsurskaya - Totally loved it. She was so into it. Was it a revival of fighting spirit or just biding farewell with style? Shame about the loop. I fear P#4 is done
Lim - I love her. She is so stunning. And the hair #gaypostoftheday
Yamashita - My predix are so outta order like JPN ladies SP music choices
Zagitova - Champ!
Shiraiwa - @rosewood intervene! I can't with these experimental balla balla short programs of the jpn girls

He is so the small kid with these 2 ladies ?

 

[pinky166]

Jeez the men were rough! The placements of Fentz and Majorov say it all

Gracie skated exactly like I expected her to but she clearly has a lot of raw talent and I still think she’s brave to come back. Give it another year and I think her comeback could be legit.

 

[alchemy void]

Shiraiwa - @rosewood intervene! I can't with these experimental balla balla short programs of the jpn girls

I love all of these batshit programs. Much better than something like "Simple Song".

Jeez the men were rough! The placements of Fentz and Majorov say it all

Men have been hideous all season. Nice avatar.
