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

[mjb52]

Next year in ladies will be absolutely brutal at Russian Nationals. I don't think you can count anyone out, Liza has shown that.

TWO AUSTRIAN LADIES NEXT WORLDS

The epic battle between Klotz, Pesendorfer and Schaller will be your highlight for next season!

 

[Jeschke]

Awww, Tursy-POTS nomination for Tuktamysheva? Her reaction to guaranteed podium placement was subtle but so touching!

This! But WTF at the cut to Trus in that moment?!
Director

 

[Jeschke]

Liza stays forever

Nothing else to add!

 

[Jeschke]

As for Liza Team status.. she should give Pogo company and be elevated to Patron Saint.. much better than looking so silly having her in the TTW team with 2 world medals.

Ok, could live with that option too. Reconsidering.

Boss on ladies FS:

Shcher. Congrats.
Tuk. Seriously I am dying for moments like this #softie. It felt totally flat besides last minute, but who the **** cares? So deserving, what a satisfaction!
Trus. Where were her spikes? Love her fighting spirit!
Chen. 3 spots with lucky help by caller but I love her and am pleased she is back in decent shape.
Hendrickx. Awesome.
JPN girls. 3 spots. Boy my nerves were a mess for a second
Mikutina. Unbelievable. @alchemy void ! We know olympics won't happen, but 2 at worlds! Stunner!
Tennell. Sorry @AngieNikodinovLove , still not my cup of tea.
Korea. Drama of the day for me I am all in for blaming fed having them done the ranking competition that close
Taljegard. That end pose is so creepy but so in for the MEEPOTS race (thanks here to @Colonel Green for constant tagging to keep me on track!)
Schott. I hope you all saw clkean 3f3t in warmup at least. Well, it was better than expected. I really like the program even with he weird 3 spins end, but doubt she will keep it.
Miyahara. So much class. So much heartbreak Absolutely stunning look!
Urushadze. Sokolovskaya and GEO official/president is pure gold.

Btw I am too lazy to scroll through all pbp. What is opinion about Hanretty commentating?
I really like it, good mix.
I bet @Hanna was as he pointed out Sakamoto's guillotine spiral being heavily discussed this season

They don't call it the Hunger Games for nothing!
The competition all Russian skaters fear the most of all competitions!!

I’m tearing up again seeing all the congrats on Liza’s IG story. Check it out. We’re not the only one calling her empress. Mae and Gabby Daleman are among the others. Man, last night was too good. I’m still not over the feeling knowing she needed 138 something to podium and the realising she was at 141

@Jeschke Hanretty gets a lot of praise in the PBP. He’s very knowledgeable. For me, I adore his sexy Scottish voice.

There's a separate thread just for Mark in the K'n'C forum.

And you're right, I was about the decapitation pointed out. He also mentioned Richaud choreo re: Kiibus FS and a million other things. Basically every random detail that I love about skating or programs, he knows it. Needless to say, I'm in love. Mark

There are a few people in yesterday's PBP threads who are convinced Hanretty reads FSU - and I might be inclined to agree, lol.

All I've seen is a video where the skater put his hand down on a jump and Hanretty said, "He put his hand down on the jump." I prefer silence to stating the obvious, but chacun à son goût.

Telenovela is in the tragic chapters.

Michael Brezina, Czech Republic

Finishing after the music - he's hurt - not putting wait on his left leg - what did @Vagabond say about rocking & splatting in the same program.

Whaddya say, boss?

Big Bro is petitioning for the Pantheon.

Fixed that for you.

He's not the older Brit Eurosport guys but he's soo much better than Barton. He should tone down a bit on calling every single element though.

 

[Colonel Green]

Men's halfway update nominations:

MESS: Vasiljevs on 4S; probably several more in there (especially from Brezina and Jin) but at some point I averted my eyes
-POTS: Jin, Vasiljevs

 

[rfisher]

Whaddya say, boss?

Are you trying to hurt me? At least wait till the competition is over.

I just asked him @Karen-W , he laughed and said no, he doesn't read the skating forums,
but then he thought about it and said maybe he should!

 

[alchemy void]

GO JASON THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PROGRAM EVER! Slay!

Well he should at least read this thread for insight into the beating heart of figure skating fandom!

@Jeschke
Kagiyama FS for Tursy-POTS short list, please.

Lemmings FS Group 1 & 2 recap

Selevko - 4lutz!!!! I prefer him much more with the contemporary style but will do.
Carrillo - this was a parade of latin OD cliches but happy he made it.
Surviving Puppy - Perfect music choice, passionate Interpretation, awful costume.
Morrrissi - A sober program actually suits him, who knew. PCs a joke
Hot Bro - An epic meltdown to martial music gave me deja vu of tomas Verner.
Gold Spidey - Is the pressure of Beijing becoming too much? is gonna be a tough year for him from now on
Granpa - Ohh sweet old pirate, you shouldnt be sailing these crazy seas anymore. I wanted to bring him some oxigen.
Britsghi - Competition of his life!!!!!
BLR - I find myself oddly attracted to his style.
Grassl - the 4 min program for Men was such a bad idea. This program could be something but it ends too soon.
Lambiels boy - well he went for the quad which I applaud but I think he needs to move on from his daddy.
Former Bel Ami - another granpa who should seek other pastures. Hanretty summmed it up best: "The battle of Brezina vs his Quad salchow for over a decade"

Best Dressed - Bychenkno & Majorov
Do Hard - Milyukov

Don't throw the man in the deep end before he learns how to swim!

 

[rfisher]

My respect for the two 80 year old Russian coaches knows no bounds. They had a job to do and they both did it.

 

[morqet]

Only 1 spot for China Han did his job but will probably be the one who misses out next year, ttw to the end

 

[Wyliefan]

@Jeschke
Kagiyama FS for Tursy-POTS short list, please.

Liza's heartfelt reaction is still my favorite, but Kagiyama's happy dance is a close second.

 

[alchemy void]

Former Bel Ami - another granpa who should seek other pastures.

But where does one go when aging out of Bel Ami?
