#TeamTrainwreck 21: Ride until the fantasy ends!

I'm imagining, with no real justification, Danielian creating some kind of mega spreadsheet of all scoring in 2019-2020 to have the perfect understanding of how GOE and PCS work.

"I have determined the perfect mathematical formula for calculating PCS!"

+ - ( x ) = ?

 

[Jeschke]

• Alena Leonova (Surely some mistake here!)
• Maria Artemieva

DRAMA!

 

[rfisher]

DRAMA!

Oh, noes! Perkova and a TM are part of the Crapova family! Do we rewrite history? Of course, written history is always biased by the writer. It's the job of later historians to unearth the truth!

 

[Mad for Skating]

Savchenko is offering online group fitness classes. I'd sign up, but I fear her wrath at my ineptitude.

Do you have a death wish? No one returns from a Savchenko training session alive. I still wonder if Massot ever fully recovered! ?

 

[SmallFairy]

So, Team Dmitriev show us home exercises on IG, and we get this. (Especially for Vice)


And Team Davydov show us home exercises on IG as well...and I get some tiny kid????
???

 

[SmallFairy]

And Empress and her daughter doing home exercise is fun too, and I'm so happy for her that she's enjoying motherhood, but that kid is all over IG, it even has it's own IG account So not ok! Kids should be protected from being exposed all over the internet, and it's the parents responsibility. Grumpy and serious post of the day. Blah!

I totally agree, as once something is out on the net, you cannot remove it!
Who wants to come across embarrassing pictures/videos of themselves as kids in later life?
It's the stuff of nightmares!

I finally got around to doing some of those "my fave" lists! Its my birthday and I'm bored - the classical music concert I was supposed to go to is obviously a no-no now. So here are the top 12 dance teams of all time - in alphabetical order because I can't decide what order to put them in.

Belbin/Agosto
Davis/White
Cappellini/Lanotte
Delobel/Schönfelder
Fournier-Beaudry/Sörensen
Giller/Poirier
Ilinykh/Katsalapov
Kerr/Kerr
Khoklova/Novitski
Nazarova/Nikitin
Papadakis/Cizeron
Pechalat/Bourzat

Now IF that was the top 24, the following would make the list and make it a lot more interesting.

Abachkina/Thauron
Carron/Jost
Golubtsova/Belobrov
Edwards/Pang
Faiella/Scali
Hoffmann/Elek
Hurtado/Diaz
Mysliveckova/Novak
Popova with any partner
Stepanova/Bukin
Virtue/Moir pre-2014
Zhiganshina/Gazsi

And now I still feel like plenty of awesome teams are missing. Muramoto/Reed, Shpilevaya/Smirnov, Samuelson/Bates... And lots of great US/Canadian junior dance teams that never made it big in seniors.

Note that Georgia will probably make the list pretty soon, but it's too soon for them for an "all time favorites list".

I need to do pairs too! And that "my fave programs 2019-2020" that I was already planning to do weeks ago.

 

[Wyliefan]

Happy birthday, @Hanna! Sorry about your concert. When this is all over, concerts are one of the things I'm looking forward to most.

 

[Jeschke]

in alphabetical order because I can't decide what order to put them in.

Of course.
Diplomatic as always

Its my birthday

Wheeee! @Hanna birthday
Best wishes my fav harmonic Finn!
Beers and gummies are opened in your honour!

 

[SmallFairy]

Happy birthday @Hanna ???
Hope you can find some concert you can enjoy online! (Or just YouTube ice dance )

 

[Jeschke]

So here are the top 12 dance teams

Good idead with dance. This might take some longer thoughts than for the ladies ?
Speaking of ladies. Have I missed your list?

Boss All time favorite list
Top 12 Ice Dance (of course IN ORDER )
1. Ilinykh/Katsalapov
2. Bobrova/Soloviev
3. Virtue/Moir
4. Drobiazko/Vanagas
5. Denkova/Staviski
6. Anissina/Peizerat
7. Cappellini/Lanotte
8. Domnina/Shabalin
9. Khokhlova/Novitski
10. Monko/Khaliavin
11. Chait/Sakhnovski
12. Navka/Kostomarov

@Hanna no Bob!
No Anissina!

Obviously I am very stuck in 2000's skating.
Little preference of RUS style vs NorthAm style

 

[Jeschke]

Pairs I will do later.
Question will be: can any non-russian besides Aliona sneak in?

Well, there you have my pair list as well.

 

[Ka3sha]

My list (order/non-order - can’t be sure )

Ice Dance:
Virtue/Moir pre 2014 (didn’t like their programs in Montreal)
Ilinykh/Katsalapov/Sinitsina
Usova/Zhukin
Klimova/Ponomarenko
Hubbell/Donohue
Denkova/Staviski
Crone/Poirier/Gilles
Hurtado/Diaz
Papadakis/Cizeron
Couldn’t come up with #12..
I love too many ice dance teams but not sure they are on my forever fav list.

 

[Jeschke]

Doing pairs, I realized once again: Pairs is my absolute favorite discipline!

Boss' All time favorite list
Pairs Top 20

1. Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze
2. Savchenko/Szolkowy
3. Totmianina/Marinin
4. Panfilova/Rylov (yes, they are already that high for me! I am ubering so hard )
5. Mukhortova/Trankov
6. Stolbova/Klimov
7. Martiusheva/Rogonov
8. Zabiiako/Enbert
9. Obertas/Slavnov
10. Iliushechkina/Maisuradze
11. Petrova/Tikhonov
12. Sui/Han
13. Moore-Towers/Moscovitch
14. Pang/Tong
15. Kavaguti/Smirnov
16. Fedorova/Miroshkin
17. Mishina/Mirzoev
18. Vigalova/Zakroev
19. Efimova/Korovin
20. Zhang/Zhang

I went Top 20 to give some foreigners a chance, but as you see, I am literelly addicted to RUS pairs (especially to hopeless junior pairs )

I guess Gordeeva/Grinkov would have been totally my thing and high on my list but this was way before I was following closely.

Famous boss fav's not even making Top 20: Mari, DivaVera, Bidar

 

[Jeschke]

Ilinykh/Katsalapov/Sinitsina
Crone/Poirier/Gilles

Nasty nasty....

 

[rfisher]

One major deviation from boss' pair list would be Volosozhar/Trankov. He was clearly in a temporary trance when he wrote MoodyMaria's name. I'm sure he meant Volo.

And I'd be Szolkowy/Savchenko/Massot and I'd lean more toward Massot than Szolkowy just for the twist alone.

 

[Ka3sha]

I guess Gordeeva/Grinkov would have been totally my thing and high on my list but this was way before I was following closely.

Wait, are we doing lists only with teams we had been following closely?
Obviously, I didn’t follow skating closely in the 80/90ies but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy, love and appreciate those teams

 

[Jeschke]

Nono. I just spoke for myself.
I just have seen 1 or 2 G/G's programs, so I can't tell much and don't want to put them on the list therefore.

 

[Jeschke]

He was clearly in a temporary trance

When am I not?

I bet there are more than @Hanna and me perfering MoodyMaria/Trankov over Volo/Trankov.
Out yourself!

 

[Jeschke]

@Ka3sha I am really curious for your alltime ladies too
Same for @alchemy void .
But I guess he is still busy rewatching 1990's worlds to make sure he does not forget anyone

 

[Ka3sha]

@Ka3sha I am really curios for your alltime ladies too

Would be hard - am not a big fan of singles

 

[Wyliefan]

I've been watching dance for such a short period of time that I could only come up with eight favorites:

Davis/White
Cappellini/Lanotte
Papadakis/Cizeron
Soucisse/Firus
Carreira/Ponomarenko
Shibutani/Shibutani
Belbin/Agosto
Gilles/Poirier

I like Chock/Bates and Hubbell/Donohue, but I'm not quite at uberdom levels with them. And I used to like I/K until all his drama soured me on him. (If you have too much drama for ice dance, you have WAY too much drama.)

 

[Jeschke]

Soucisse/Firus

We are here for you and we can offer help! ?

 

[SmallFairy]

My dance list is short, as I’m only watching when a couple really draws my interest. I won’t rank them, that’s not possible:

Klimova/Ponomarenko
Anissina/Peizerat
Faiella/Scali
Papadakis/Cizeron
Schevchenko/Eremenko
Shpilavaya/Smirnov

 

[SmallFairy]

I’ll be back with ladies and pairs tomorrow. Ladies will be soooooooo hard.

 

[SmallFairy]

Shouldn’t we have our do-hard-lists over the years too? Mine started in the early 90ies with Grinkov, Ponomarenko and Dmitriev sr

 

[Jeschke]

You can start with yours!
Afterwards everyone knows it can't get more embarassing
