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

[Jeschke]

@Jeschke , Stanislava is in the entries list for SPb Championship this week - what are the chances of her nailing everything there and then be total at Nationals?

???

Nugumanova

Slay! ??

Btw. speaking of small ?? events? Where the hell is ??!

 

[SamuraiK]

We need a new Russian thread that focuses on current skaters and actual news, but alas, it would just be corrupted. We just rely on @Ka3sha and @taz'smum I've already lost track of which of the ladies made Nationals or if it's still possible for Nugu to get there. Too many of them. Too many with high scores. Not enough slots.

Last year they promised to publish entries on 13th December and it never happened, the full list appeared only after the training groups were set two or three days before the event..

Klimov has officially retired and is working for Mozer. I'm having a fantasy moment imaging Susie (assuming she actually gets a partner) collaborating with the Empress on two programs for 2022. The irony. The possibility.

 

[Jeschke]

However Kanysheva's face knowing she medals is priceless

Kanysheva's reaction is my Tursy-POTS-moment of the season so far.
This was so honest and heartwarming
I do not even dare to think of her sad face at junior nationals, if she does not manage to make it to the team. SOS.

 

[Jeschke]

The irony. The possibility.

The delusion.

 

[Wyliefan]

I think I'll adopt Tarakanova and Kanysheva. And Samodurova, while I'm at it. They can compete for the U.S., the Russian girls get SLIGHTLY less pressure, I get three cute kids, everybody wins.

 

[alchemy void]

P/S - @alchemy void admit, you have a crush on him! This should be so your type! Admit! ??

Honestly, I kind of do, in a really fcked up kind of way. I refuse to believe he's 20; he looks 30 no problem.

I'd buy 30. He's been competing on the junior circuit for at least 15 years. He's the Russian version of Don Baldwin.

Random thoughts from the weekend:

• I'm still really hungover from binging on way too much skating this weekend. I'm not watching else until JPN/RUS nationals
• Tuktamysheva was really robbed of second. She couldn't even get 2nd in the LP? Ridiculous. I have so much respect for Zagitova as a competitor and a person, but I would have had her in 4th on the LP, no problem. Nothing was easy to watch: the jumps weren't pretty (and there were at least 2 under in the LP), the posture is atrocious, the basics aren't great, the transitions are so abundant but really messy. I couldn't get into it at all.
• Olga Markova is dead to me (this week at least) for not calling anything in Zagitova's LP.
• Kihira is amazing, that LP is the best of the season. I love Sakamoto's LP too. Both have totally eclipsed Miyahara for me.
• Pairs was by far the best junior event. Can the top 2 be senior next season, please?
• Chen and Brezina are both really hot and skating well. I like it when they're in bro mode
• J/C were really rough and ragged in the SP, but the LP was the best I've ever seen them do. So good. World title please.
• Kuchvalska is on the way back! 5 big triples in her LP! What a difference a month makes. The 3loop at the beginning of the program was gigantic! A month ago she couldn't even rotate a 3toe.
• GRM! Top 10.

So you won't be watching Dave Kötting compete at German Nationals? How fickle you are!

Speaking of Dornbush, I spent more time thinking of his Sherlock Holmes program than Gogolev's while Gogolev was skating

I think of Ricky D. every time I hear that music.

As if! ? Lil'Sis vs Queen U this weekend! Behave! ??

He is safe there. German nationals are the same weekend as RUS and JPN and the KOR 4CC's selection.

I just want to warn/prepare you, what's going on with da boss in here when Schott loses to Weinzierl, Mihara, Honda, Stasia, Park, Efimova/Korovoin and Aliev are failing to make the team on one weekend ???

 

[rfisher]

You're in trouble

Precautionary? ??

Drown your sorrows-ary..

[rfisher]

Given that at least 5 out of the 7 results have high odds of happening, he's doomed. @Jeschke you need to pick just one or two to focus on. Probably only one.

How could I?
The train is running full speed and I am steering ?
Fasten your seat-belts.

The irony, that Schott above all, is the most likely to come out alive...

 

[rfisher]

It's not called trainwreck for nothing. We knew the job was dangerous when we got on board.

 

[SmallFairy]

If Kötting shows up, it could heal all other woes
