#TeamTrainwreck 16: We do hard, not crazy!

[skatingguy]

(Anyone here played Super Mario cart on Super Nintendo? I love Mushroom cup, Flower cup...they should most definitely add Menshov cup, Grinkov cup...)

Yoshi all the way - though I'm still recovering my eyesight from racing Rainbow Road in Special Cup.

Dasa is consistently one of the most inspirational and positive people on my instagram feed.

How can you not love her?

Panfilova is a crazy cat lady too, check her IG story ?

This is fun but no way it's 1990

There are so many smaller, but great comps, I've lost track of what is when. So, I know where to come for answers:
Russian juniors is this weekend (Sat-Mon). Any other comps?

Maybe I'll get time to put them in a list as we're going to need superior organization skills to keep up between now and Worlds.
Feb 1-3 Enga Dance Trophy
Feb 5-10 Bavarian Open (Bidar and new partner debut, #TheFinger, Orzel and many more)
Feb 5-10 Sofia Trophy
Feb 7-9 4CC
Feb 7-10 Dragon Trophy
Feb 7-10 Nordics
Feb 15-17 Some weird event
Feb 21-23 Open Ice Cup (Israeli men)
Feb 21-24 Challenge Cup (lots of interesting skaters including Bidar and new partner again)
Mar 4-10 Jr Worlds

And Universiade is in there somewhere in late Feb. There's at least one #TTW in each event. Some have more. I was making a short list and once it reached 3 pages I quit.

There's at least one #TTW in each event.

We are at MESS#73 to date.
I am hopeful we crack 100 until the end of the season

Love all this up-coming! Hope I can keep track. There's a lot going on in life at the moment, and it feels like so many of the other threads are on repeat, so I mostly come in here I count on us #ttw to keep getting the big news first.

I'm off to the airport tomorrow morning to competition Saturday. Wish me luck

I so want to see them all

I fear YouTube will block it and Streamable is only up to 10minutes and we are at 7 already ?

But either way, you will see them somehow! ??

Mario is lame

Where all my Sonic the Hedgehog fanbois at?

#Mission2spots4ItalyatWorlds

There's the problem for Rizzo, as he wants to succeed at Worlds, but doing so will earn two spots for Italy and enable his hated rival to go to Worlds as well.

Explain please... I've missed the memo

 

[skatingguy]

Rizzo is not a fan of Grassl.

 

[muffinplus]

Rizzo is not a fan of Grassl.

Why though? Is this from an interview?

 

[rfisher]

He beat him at Italian Nationals and took the title away. Rizzo threw a temper tantrum in the KnC afterwards. Did you watch them sitting on the coach as Europeans progressed? Rizzo looked like he was babysitting his annoying little brother. I felt the same way when my mother made me do the same for my younger sister.

 

[Colonel Green]

Why though? Is this from an interview?

He hasn't said anything publicly, but if take a look at any footage of them at the same event and you'll see Rizzo at a minimum thinks little of Grassl as a skater. He was furious at losing at Italian Nationals and stormed out of the KnC, and when they were seated adjacent at the Europeans results area he acted like Grassl's presence was a grievous imposition.

 

[levineismine]

I wouldn't read too much into the k&c reaction, being upset for losing the title (maybe at himself?) Doesn't mean he "hates" Grassl. And very little can be inferred by those few minutes sitting under the spotlight in an awkward situation while waiting to know if you will medal or not.
In the latest article, Link Rizzo is quoted saying about Grassl "we have a good relatioship even if we live far. This rivarly is good for both ".

 

[Jeschke]

?? junior nationals are killing me.

My loyality for the men is obvious:
I need a team of Erokhov, Savosin and Murashov and will accept nothing less! ??

Dance the same:
Shevchenko/Eremenko and my new secret favourites Khudaiberdieva/Nazarov all the way! ??

Ladies:
Oh boy
I really need Kanysheva making it, just for that awesome happy knc again! ?
And of course because I need to see the empire crumbling! ?

Pairs:
While I totally love all three pairs of Kostiukovich/Ialin, Panfilova/Rylov, Akhanteva/Kolesov, you can't deny that Mishina/Galiamov really deserve to be on that damn team too. So may the better ones (with 2lo, 2a1eu2s ?) make it in the end! ??‍
