#TeamTrainwreck 23: Perky through the ages!

[Vagabond]

How did UnknownKid managed to get that high in the starting order?? His ISU Bio chart is literally a blank slate.

I notice that he starts after a certain former World Bronze Medalist.

Maybe the ISU is a fan of his art?

It's more likely that someone at the ISU lurks in this very thread. I invite whoever it is to contact me here in the Press Office at any time.

Im thinking that they simply used Aliev's WS points for the draw without double checking they had the correct stamina boy.

 

[SidelineSkater]

For the men's short - scheduling for Groups 3 and 4 are sort of TTW...right now it's showing 5 skaters in group 3 and 7 skaters in Group 4. Busy warmup for 4?

Burak, #unknownkid, Romsky, Frangi back to back.
1 skater break.
Vlad.
Heaven!

To really get their attention I recommend trying this butt-in-the-flowers pose (bonus: you'll also get the attention of the surrounding senior citizens!).

Play Black Velvet from your phone for maximum effect. Trust me on this.

Just finished the men's event from the U.S. Classic.

I see that Brezina is still at Jeschke's delusional sense of power over determining who can and cannot be a member of the train.

Vincent has almost no World Standing points currently.

Zhou has 420; unknown kid has 333. This is why Zhou is Vincent and unknown kid is unknown kid.

His UnknownKid status is only in comparison with other Russians... compared to the people who are attempting to qualify for the Olympics is another story...

Why is Nebelhorn draw done by WS? Aren't most challengers just random draw? Or is it because this is the Olympic qualifier, they are trying to give the more famous skaters a leg up to qualifying?

Untrue. He is completely an unknown kid to yours truly, and I watch the JGP & the CS & read the Team Trainwreck thread!! (Albeit spottily, but seriously, who is ever unknown in the Team Trainwreck thread? The TTW thread is full of posts glorifying the . . . lesser known).

Of course, we all know that the reason said person has been assigned to Nebelhorn is because a certain healthy percentage of the better known Russian men are particularly well known in the TTW thread.

Unknown kid burst on the scene by placing third on his debut at Russian Nationals (when boss inexplicably had better things to do than watch). He has never skated at a Junior Grand Prix, Challenger Series, Grand Prix, or ISU Championship event. IINM, everyone else in the Men's event at Nebelhorn has competed in one or more such events. It would not surprise me if the same is true of the competitors in the other three disciplines.

And I watched Russian Nationals but must confess that I only remember there was an unknown guy who medaled . . .

To be fair, my parents internet was really bad & required lots of pausing & hitting play & then pausing & waiting for the next video to load & then hitting play; plus, various folks at Russian Nationals had been sick with the crud & were out or were not really back at full strength. Anyway, probably I will remember him after Nebelhorn.

OH, porevious to nationals he was very unknown. A guy like lets say Conor Stakelum or Graham Newberry may had lower levels and discrete results but still hardcore fans had seen them around.
Anyways, The point is: his current WS points do not give him a place in the penultimate group like he's now. Basar Oktar was screwed. Or perhaps that's the reason there are 7 guys there???

That was my first thought but then again Worlds which are the doorway to 80% of the spots are done the same way so I dont see why the other qualifier should be different.

?️ boss arrived with a train. His plans seems bigger than expected. Forget the Van, a Train it is ?

@Dobre , Unknownkid’s moment of glory last season was Channel 1 Cup when he delivered a fantastic LP and won the men’s event

Марк Кондратюк. Произвольная программа. Мужчины. Кубок Первого канала по фигурному катанию 2021

Марк Кондратюк из команды Евгении Медведевой выиграл произвольную программу на Кубке Первого канала по фигурному катанию. За свой прокат он получил 196,23 ба...

Plus Trankov’s comments from K&C, Medvedeva’s tears of joy, his teammates celebrating his skate - all of that all added to the picture

 

[zebobes]

You're new here.

I mean, I've been lurking for a REALLY long time, so I'm not REALLY new, perhaps I'm just #Unknown?

Yeah, you guys are right, most of the people competing for the spots have been at a LOT of competitions, and just have been too low in standings to get any world standings points. Mark's points from two years ago keep him up high enough in the standings to tie with Maurizio, which I assume indeed the reason for the weirdly sized group, and poor Paul Fentz is just a few places lower.

Shame of you that you dind't watch his win at the Bosphorus Cup 2019!

We are the cutting edge of lesser knowns.

And they are not all that healthy....
