#TeamTrainwreck 22: Every dark cloud has a pewter lining!

[SmallFairy]

Naumov should be in based on his step sequence in the FS at SKAM alone, it was PASSION and then he caused so much heartbreak when he then splatted during the same competition/program. Of course, he also rocked again in the same program, but was beat by Baby Malinin and a bunch of other guys, including Aleksei Krashonozon overall ?

Boss, do you need more?

 

[Wyliefan]

Two of my favorite moments were Daria P. giggling during her interview, and Sofia S. leading the happy-clappy for Guliakova.

Btw the last time I was gone over big champs, Ross made the olympic team (in my world) and now Nugu slayed that big.
I will plan my vacations over beijing olympics and just wait for the results

OMG Panfilova for OGM. Book your vacay hideaway now.

 

[mjb52]

Yes but in 2026...

 

[Jeschke]

Btw what have we learned is the right recipe heading into nationals?
Brow bar and PlayStation! ?

Sobriety helps one deal with reality. You should try it some time.

 

[taz'smum]

Not sure if this is already out there but here goes anyway.

The first thinking about the 1st of the 3 comps that the Russian fed is planning for after Xmas is the following.
(whether it will materialise is another thing of course)
It will be a team event.
The National team will be split into 2 by pulling names out of a hat.
Then they will compete for prize money.
Sounds fun!

All 3 post Christmas comps will be compulsory for all the national team except the Russian champions.

 

[Ka3sha]

Seems like a nice initiative, but I am a bit worried about the amount of compulsory events, given that most of the athletes are/were injured or had YKW.
Usually it’s just Euros + Russian Cup final (if needed) + Worlds. And here we have three domestic events + Worlds.

 

[Jeschke]

So, here is the official #TeamTrainwreck Team for the ?? Team Event

Ladies: Nugu, Stasia
Men: Mozalev (SP), Samarin in folklore boots and with Gumennik wings (SP), Ignatov (FS), Aliev (FS)
Pairs: Panfilova/Rylov, Nazarychev/Galiamov
Ice Dance: Khuda/Bazin, Daughter
Coaches: Rukavicin, Sokolvskaya, Daineko and Vice
Flower boys: Yablokov, Murashov, Samoilov

You've included Samarin, who breaks no one's heart, and excluded unknown kid, who is a favorite around here.

Maybe you should take another week or two off.

Is daughter going to share Bazin with Khuda? That could be interesting. Poor Bagin. Boy gets no love at all. ((((Mishina))))

 

[Jeschke]

Is Poor Bagin. Boy gets no love at all.

Our loyalty is with TM2!

No fair stripping Gumennik of his wings!

Yeah, right. Is this junior high?

 

[Jeschke]

No fair stripping Gumennik of his wings!

Maria and the violin's strings
Petr and the trainwreck's wings

 

[SmallFairy]

I strongly disapprove of the dance teams picked. Hottest guy ain’t in.

Stripping Gummenik of his wings is heartbreaking in itself.

Some of us cannot see Instagram stories. The fact that Naumov is our boy's inspiration, however, is yet another reason why Naumov belongs on the Team.

 

[Jeschke]

Btw isn’t it iconic that Nugu ends up 3rd highest eligible skater and has the minimums exactly in the year Euros got canceled?

So, if Kostiukovitch doesn't win a Russian junior title, can I have her on the team? I am willing to let her off if she does. I'm making my pitch early. Yeah, yeah. she's a junior, but we know it's a matter of time same as it was with Panfilova. We can mark her spot as pending.

I forgot to say earlier, Higuchi’s disasterpiece short program at Japanese nationals should be on the -POTS longlist.

Major props to Colonel Green for knowing the difference between a short list and a long list. Da bossman hasn't learned that one yet. ?‍

Which is why Higuchi isn’t on any of those

Happy new year folks!
May the ? ride full speed!
