Scott Hamilton:
"... over the course of my skating career, I fell 41,600 times. And you know what? I got back up 41,600 times. Get Up!"
:lol: Something kinda seems wrong with the math. ;) Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway #Get Up campaign by USFS is not the end-all, be-all answer to everything. It's also about not giving up, I think. Title of Hamilton's new book: Finish First

Cardi B:
"Look myself in the mirror, I say we gon' win
Knock me down nine times, but I get up ten
Look myself in the mirror, I say we gon' win
Knock me down nine times, but I get up ten
Yeah, but I get up ten..."

There's surely another on-point TTW thread title in there somewhere. :P
 
Watch out folks!
Shibnev comeback with Loboda: 64pts.
Best partner he had since Stavitskaya! :D

Watch out @taz'smum ! :rofl:
Boy, she was dragging him around like there is no tomorrow, leading the entire dance. He is a living legend. His prettiness must be worth something.

To quote the Russian forum, Shibnev didn't fall ;)
 
That slooooooooow version of "How Will I Know" should be banned! :angryfire

Oh wait, this is Whitney's "How Will I Know" :eek: OMG I knew some of it sounded familiar but would have never guessed Whitney :X3: Yeah, this is too damn slow! He should have just skated to Whitney :lol:
 
Oh my, Volchkova has no politic power at all :(
Murashov clean as a whistle, handsome as ever, sitting in ****ing 6th! ???
I am damn angry.

Edit: The boys I want for junior worlds sitting in 6th, 7th and 16th. That's why I am boss :D

Are you seriously not a fan of Danielian in 3rd? His skating is so gorgeous, and after what happened this fall on the JGP, I fear he could be joining the team in a few years :drama:

Nah, he has good skills, that I see.
But no fan yet, sorry.
 
Novice Senior US Champion She deserves it but If this were a russian champion we will still be reading nasty comments about age on ladies. Double Standard at its worst.

The ISU and all of the feds are hung up on pre-teens and teenyboppers doing 3-axels and quads. Eteri is not being kow-towed to in a vacuum. Zag and Med unfortunately have already reached Eteri-over-the-hill territory, as soon as the Olympics were over. Maybe even before the Olympics were over. This season, Zag's draggier speed, uber ugly cross-overs and awkward technique complicated by her growth spurt are even more cringe-worthy to see the judges over-rewarding. At least, Med saw the writing on the wall, and ran for the Cricket Club. I'm not sure there's still hope for either sans judges' blind gifts, but never say never.

Eh, Alysa Liu is cute and talented, and way over-hyped. The judges and everyone* else are ignoring the fact that Liu had at least 3 URs in her fp, one on her second 3-axel (*including Jackie Wong proclaiming with faux certainty on IceTalk that every one of Liu's jumps were clean :rolleyes:). US fed, fans and media look so Kwan-seeking desperate. :drama: It will be cool for Hanna Harrell and Ting Cui to stay on the down low, and under the hot media glare radar, and then come out and slam bang their competition to the hilt. They are also next level talented technically and artistically, even w/o 3-axels. And both are better than Liu right now on PCS, IMHO.

I don't care which country a skater is from, I call it as I see it. I root for U.S. skaters and for any skater whose talent I find irresistible. Still, regardless of who my faves are, I call it as I see it. Right now, I think Trusova, Kostornaia, and Scherbakova are all better than Liu -- and obviously a bit older than her too. All of these junior ladies are over-rated on PCS at this point in their careers, aside perhaps Kostornaia. But I think the three Russian phenoms are more talented overall than Liu at this point. Of course that could change over time, which will be why we watch to see what happens. :watch:

Liu is definitely the real deal in terms of her talent and her 3-axel abilities, but the favoritism and hype is so way OTT, it's embarrassing, IMO. Liu has a lot to learn and a long way to go. Her PCS should have been scored within reason, and they should have called the URs. Bradie, Mariah and Amber folding may have been predictable, especially the latter two, but it wasn't pretty. I think the U.S. judges would have actually rewarded Mariah with the win if not for that one silly fall. And Bradie apparently allowed the pressure to get to her. The judges were surely counting on Bradie to pull it out, but they weren't going to hand her a win -- keeping her on the podium was favor enough. Bradie probably should have stuck with her more reliable 3/3 combo to open her fp, rather than trying to add the difficult 3-loop on the tail end.
 
Oh wait, this is Whitney's "How Will I Know" :eek: OMG I knew some of it sounded familiar but would have never guessed Whitney :X3: Yeah, this is too damn slow! He should have just skated to Whitney :lol:
I'm not sure he could skate fast enough! :shuffle:

Now, Fear & Gibson, on the other hand.... They might do it justice!
 

Aw come on. Samarin is not boring. He tries hard, he gives it his all, and he lands his jumps better than more aesthetically and technically talented skaters (hint, hint Kolyada; and quite often, Aliev). Samarin may be a bit spastic (reminiscent of white boys who couldn't dance in the 70s :D), but Sama always goes for it in his courageous no guts, no glory chest-beating way! ;)

Greatest Boreman and Borewoman awards go to Zabijako/Enbert, no debate, despite the fact they too try hard. And they do tend to look good being boring. :D

LMAO, his IG says otherwise. Not judging though, who wouldn't with that body.

Ahh, okay, maybe a little ? but as you said, he’s gorgeous so you won’t hear me complaining.

There is definitely a difference between being self-absorbed and being self-confident, savvy, sassy and unafraid to flaunt what you got! Get it Guillaume! :encore:

No way Guillaume could have or would have been able to creatively, humbly and selflessly gift his friends and compadres with that boffo sp to Uninvited if he's 'self-absorbed.' ;)

Guillaume also designed J/C's sp costumes :respec: :swoon:
 
My picks are 1st and 3rd. Not that I'm being all smug or anything. If you're going to bet, go with Tutbridze every time. Although, I agree Murashov wuzrobbed. His jumps were stellar.

I picked a Tutberidze girl and my heart was shattered. It was Daria Panenkova.

Nah, he does seem like a pretty cool friend and nice guy in general. He’s just a “pretty boy” ? I’d take him over half the arrogant jocks in this sport for sure.
 
Lots of joking going over the head here today...

Ok, back to important stuff... anyone kind enough to share who made it out junior russian nationals?

No one. The men and ladies finish today (Sunday). Pairs SP are today, FP tomorrow (Monday). Dance FD is Monday.

Finals on Monday??.. Well I know it's only juniors but that's kinda odd specially when they are not attached to the senior events.
