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

[rfisher]

Worst result ever

(at least I got some money, as I bet on the teams/skaters I liked the least in all disciplines)

((((Ka3sha))))

This means you get a pretty good chance Chock will win

This means you get a pretty good choice Chock will win

Maybe, but, my heart wanted T/M to win and finishing off the podium breaks my heart. That's a blow that Evgenia is going let impact next season. I'm happy for Mishina because of the path she's taken to get to this point, but the truth is any of the three teams could win on any given day if they skate their best. Russia is such a pair skater fan's treasure. And, I'm still sad there couldn't be four teams and Daria had to stay home. The Chinese teams are very good, but I'm a loyal fan for Russian pairs and always have been.

 

[Jeschke]

Today I'm rooting for da boss' nightmare becomes true! Jason for Top 3, Telenovela to bring himself in a good position and in the FP.
And than I'll root for Larry Loopolover as his name is as cool as a skaters name can be. Hope he gets his Olympic Spot here so we don't have to see him at Nebelhorn ?

Your mouth is getting kinda loose lately.
I approve!

 

[Jeschke]

Do Hard -- ALL of them, except Kagiyama.

It's so good to have you back!

 

[rfisher]

Love this result! And Japan having 2 spots for the Olympics! Chaos!

Two spots and they don't even have a 2nd team. But, she's a star.

 

[Colonel Green]

In all the excitement today, I forgot that the RD draw was happening:

- Ice Dance - Rhythm Dance

www.isuresults.com

Tiff & Jon drew the short straw and got bumped to the fourth warmup group.

Though I’m glad that F-B/S and L/L both made the fifth.

So, to not totally disapploint @AngieNikodinovLove (and as we all know your interest in this discipline is higher than in ladies )
Boss on Men SP

Overall. Hanyu latex and Grassl bdsm look almost back to back is something.
Hanyu. Well. Never the biggest fan. But much to admire.
Kagiyama. So so so entertaining. Awesome result so far.
Chen. Hot as ****. The steps are everything. The rest of the program is crap.
Kolyada. He hold it together better than expected. My delusion of 3spots is still on ? (and then they'll send Samarin to Oberstdorf - and he was never seen again )
Messing. One of my biggest as he is will win 2 spots. And Romsky will go to NHT too.
Uno. This still is so WTF and I still like it.
Brown. Well this was good. Even I can't deny. Scoring that high is something else still imho, but yeah. All I gotta say today
Cha. Loved it!
Aymoz. Whatever that weird music is.
Semenenko. Guilty pleasure SP of the season. Nerves of steel. Well done buddy. So pretty.
Rizzo. So damn good looking in blue (and I have to comment the Fentz-style in going for metaphoric colour for song of 'Blue', which I can lipsync in sleep). If he is on, he is so damn good and charming.
Yan. Best shirt.
Brezina. @rfisher ?
Grassl. #teamfrangi
Milyukov. Welcome back.
Britschgi. SKATE OF THE ****ING NIGHT! I love Britschgi since years and he never, really never, holds it together. And now in this moment with olympic spot on the line: i am living for this
Bych. @pinky166 still on? I love that SP.
Jin. CHN#2
Majorov. Oh yes
Morisi. That ending
Shmuratko. So happy he made it. So charming.
Carrillo. Not my cup of tea. Sorry.
Seleveko. Alomst as insane as Schott that he made it, but Where was the batshit crazy green jacket?
Zhou. The moment I am starting to like him
Fentz. Bad
Litvintsev. Best hair. Best look.

Do hard: Chen, Yan, Litvintsev

 

[rfisher]

He made the free! Small victories.

 

[Jeschke]

Boss short on pairs:

Happy for Galiamov (and Mishina ).
S/H. They deserve better than 2pts gap in PCS to M/G even when it was kinda uninspired today (apart from last minute). Not sure I argee on result, as happy as it made me.
B/K. Don't like the program. And his posture is annoying me more and more. Sorry @Ka3sha
T/M. See Zhou post above
P/J. Best look Peng ever had. Really really enjoyed this FS today, even with the 2sal and splat. I need that olympic medal happening

Do hard. Galiamov, Bidar

 

[Laney]

My delusion of 3spots is still on ? (and then they'll send Samarin to Oberstdorf - and he was never seen again )

Oh boy, what are your plans to do with him? Seems to be more than to do hard

 

[angi]

Not sure there's anything more than telling Moskvina "congratulations you have champions now" and storming off as Boikova did. Did anyone give attitude to Moskvina before and survived another day to tell about it?

 

[rfisher]

Well, at least we know to alert the authorities if he disappears.

Did someone actually say that??? ?

There will be a conversation happening there.

 

[Karen-W]

So, assuming Russia manages to qualify 2+1 in Mens on Friday... Which of the Stamina Boys to they send to Nebelhorn to piss it away?

 

[Jeschke]

Well, at least we know to alert the authorities if he disappears.

Happily-ever-after ?

[Wyliefan]

I misread the "he" as "she" and thought you were talking about Boikova.

 

[rfisher]

See, that's what @Jeschke is counting on, that nobody will realize who is missing there in the pretty mountains of Obertsdorf.

 

[Immortelle]

Boikova: https://twitter.com/_mariaaaa18/status/1375210571667271682

Eeek. I thought it was a poorly-informed journalist! Not cool.

 

[SamuraiK]

While I would have given the edge to Sui & Han because of their artistic superiority it was a fair result with Mishina&Galiamov delivering two squeaky clean and packed programs back to back. Well deserved.

However this puts up to front the disconnect between TES advantage over PCS advantage.. With TES you can really put yourself ahead while with PCS capped at 10 you can at most have 1-2 points against your biggest rivals which is nothing when there are lifts and quads in the game.

Lemmings Final 2 groups RECAP

Cinderello - Beautiful and much more refined.. becoming a big fan of him
UkeUno - this is so frenetic yet he makes it work.. Lambiel slapping him!! XD XD
Golden Spidey - while I recognize there's been progress with the PCS when the jumps fail he's a booore.
Le Petit - The program is a let dow compared to the previous 2 SPs but his energy is still there. What a cartwheel!
Alaska Cowboy - We get it, you're in love. Enough.
Lambiel's boy - Fierce tango interpretation, just like his daddy. He has really built up.
Teletubbie - amazing choreo, undeniable. He still gets on my nerves sometimes but I enjoyed it.
Pooh - a bit Hanyu by the numbers Im afraid but will do.
Grassl - Ouch, that went downhill quickly
NotBabyRizzo - Okkk but I need more power.
Chen - Never my fave and he overthinks it too much... soo go Kagiyama!
MOrrrrisssi - Didnt even bother to finish watching XD

Best Dressed - Cha & Rizzo
Do Hard - Everyone but Brown... AS IF.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK I just have to say that I may start frequenting the Russian thread a lot more because M&G I think is my favorite team of all time and I only started watching them this past season. I think I love them more than Natalia and Artur if that’s possible. I think Alexander is a true MEGAstar. I am so excited they are world champions on first try!

Wow WHAT a review!!!! ??

And this is the first time in herstory I agree with so much of what you say!

My first note is yes yes yes Lucas from Switzerland - he is a star. I am going to watch his program over and over.

Latvia lover, well I’ve always hated his hair hanging directly into his eyeballs and as much as I hate manbuns and topknots I like this look for him. Although he’s wearing the Paul baggy pants style of last season.

What rule changed this season that people can keep putting their hands down on the ice as part of choreography? And now even doing cartwheels on the ice? I know I’ve been asleep at the wheel most of 2020 but what rule changed?

You’re giving Keegan a glowing review? I need to take a snapshot of that!

I’m afraid to say this because I’m not always a fan I think Jason Brown should definitely be in sixth place!

How did Kolyada scores so high with a botched up combo and only a triple jump for his solo job?

I absolutely love Nathan‘s outfit!

An absolute shocker of the day for me is Vincent not even qualifying for the free. what a shock!

Do Hards (I think I know what this means) : Lucas B, Majorov, Chen

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Lolll Boy when Boikova tossed the credentials into Dmitri’s lap I thought her thought bubble was like “peace out, going up to my room for a drink. Do not follow!”

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Pairs

M/G - Best pairs free great I’ve seen ever. Since Natalia and Artur!!!!
S/H - Thrilled they hung onto Silver
B/K - I really need to have drinks with her
T/M - his hair and beard have grown on me
P/J - unlike boss I am not a fan of her hair or packaging. I greatly miss that French song they skated to last year or the year before. This music was not good
MT/Marinara sauce - why is he not kissing ANL at the end?
K/F - 7th? Take it and run. SA and Nats were great tho.
DM/G - I like that I can follow along when they speak Italian in the kiss and cry. I want to photograph him. The way he was photographed years ago
CG/L - as always the technical score comes down once the score goes up. Still love their lines
M/K - wow Canada works well on them. They seem really fast
Z/K - Best I’ve ever seen them! Why do they score on the lower side? Are they slow?

Do Hard - Just about all of the men. With Top honor to Bidar

Pairs RECAP

Overall an intense night. fiilled with highs and lows..

French Fith Element - Trying to be voidy but not quite getting it.
Krasnapolski & Whoever - He's already checking icepartnersearch
Belorrusians - didnt they used to compete for RUS?
Eurovision Italians - just cause you know DM&G have your spot secured doesnt meand you shouldnt try harder to be worthy ot the olympic ticket.
Georgians - loove his expressivenes.. Scary scary almost fall.
Vintage Czech Porn - he was exhausted. I still miss Duskova.
HUN - Zzzz but Im glad his perseverance has finally paid off and they got the ticket.
Germans - what happened to Hase & Seegert? They were way better than this last season.
Young Canadians - Woww, I didnt see much future in them earlier years but thye have improved a lot.
500 Miles - From cheezy 80s to emo hipster 2010s Nice job!
JPN - He finally found a partner with who he can really reach high!
Tall & Taller - I like them, they seem to love the skating but always feel messy.
Magnificats - I've realise that as hot as he is I've never been that into their skating.
Mrs Knierim - I had read many things about this new team as if they were a Volosozhar/Trankov matched by the stars pairing but didnt't see it.
Sassy and Hunchback - A bit too sacharine but well done.
Leftovers - Is it time to bring Yu back from wherever CHN fed hid her?
Ginger boy - They just want it too much.
NeoClassic Russians - crying Their SP is a dream. The LP is a bit gimmicky but i was rooting for them. Not so much after reading her reply to Moskvina though.
Tiny Giants - That program is a masterpiece but tonight proved they can no longer rely on PC reputation. 2022 oly gold in doubt.
Mishina & Galiamov - Im in love with their transitions. He's such a diva. In the days of 6.0 there will be no contest they are the rightful winners.

Best Dressed - MT &M, Peng & Jin
Do Hard - Galiamov while doing his final SP pose.

Tall and taller. LMAO I knew exactly who they were. Sometimes I need a glossary to figure out who everyone is but I can generally figure everybody out.

Yes I have to say Kirsten and Michael’s outfit I thought were quite nice!

 

[SamuraiK]

I just realised that Somewhere Daria Pavliuchenko must be having the biggest bitchface ever
