#TeamTrainwreck 24: For the weirdos and the dreamers!

[rfisher]

Well, he did say he was ashamed after the skate. He should be and he should do something about it. Apparently, the warm up went beautifully so, he needs to get his head on straight before Nationals if he wants a second shot at the Olympics.

 

[Jeschke]

Fentz - Oh dear, what's GER oly comittee position on sending him just for the team event,?? @Jeschke ??

There was one wording, he is the only option, but seriously: Jagoda is no worse, Starostin clear leader so far. No clue about passport status here.
If Schott does not meet criteria, fed won't have to face this problem

Frangi - And I thought Paul was disastrous. A train deluxe for the ages. Home pressure+ the need to deliver for the oly ticket took the best of him. Despite the epic meltdown you could still see glimpses of a great program there. Team nominee???

He has a good campaign rolling.
Decent proposal.
Pending.

I'd support. He's breaking my heart!

 

[SmallFairy]

(((Gabriele))) ???

Nuff said

 

[SmallFairy]

At least Bukin doing Backstreet Boys cheered me up!

More 90ies fun in skating!

 

[Kateri]

"frangi" literally means "to break", so I don't know what I expected. The emoji is etymologically appropriate.

I feel badly for wanting Frangipani on the Italian Olympic team in lieu of Grassl. That picture of him holding that teddy bear is adorable. Of course, it would be better if he was ripping its head off, but, it's still cute. The Italian men need 3 spots. Their women should cede them theirs. Unless Kostner gives up and saves them one more time.

The women don't have a spot yet, though

But they have two pairs teams. Who is down with them sacrificing that 2nd spot for a 3rd man?

 

[On My Own]

Not very sure where I saw someone asking about Eunsoo Lim's coach (might not even be this forum, let alone this thread, lol), but it's Kwak Minjeong.

So gutted for her after this LP, she's so beautiful to watch.

Thanks so much. It was me.

Vasiljevs. The hair drama is real here

This telenovela plot line is getting too creepy to watch. Maybe a bunch of letters from angry fans would prompt the producer to have him do a program to something appropriate from The Barber of Seville or Samson and Delilah, though the chances of his choosing either seem remote at best.

GP ?? Ladies FS:

Beccari. Rough ride. Nice finger work though.
Gutmann. So hit and miss.
Schott. I don't know what their plan was? Getting minimums with one 3f only? Best outing this season though.
Samodurova. Those tears to end felt like a farewell from GP stage
Zhu. Chartrand she is not. Decent for her standards I suppose.
Kim. Of all the KOR women, I really need Kim to make it The FS does not convince me in total but I love her elements, so ****ing huge.
Lim. from the books. However she pulled through ?
Mihara. She build up all the momentum possible for nationals. Now all I can do is hope ?
Miyahara. Pure class. Seriously, to me she is getting better and better each season (not jump-wise of course); I could watch her forever.
Shcherbakova. She is such a fierce fighter. Don't buy the program at all. Nationals will be so
Khromykh. Great fight. Prefer the SP but she really put herself into contention. (((Tuk)))
Hendrickx. No great fan of her nor this FS, but I love the way she is pushing herself and went for something different. Awesome competition for her. Congrats ?

Do-Hard: Jorik.
Best Dressed: Miyahara.
#TTW Quotes:

I thought we might be seeing something special, then the mistakes.

Some things didn't work, but she is super to watch.

It was close to being absolutely brilliant.

Wait so that means theres a chance forr one of the CYP girls to go??

Bye bye Paul & Nicole then!!!! Sorry not sorry.

 

[rfisher]

I got my competition wish. Sorry, Dima and Misha. I suspect there's only one per competition.

LOL I was referring to Aliev. Russia will send three. He may not be one of them. But, there is a chance for CYP. That's still in the cards.

Lol sorry that was me quoting the wrong post.

GP ?? Women
?? 1 & 2 - rough SPs, and I didn't really watch the FS because I was working on a rental application
DaSchott - decent performance, sounds like the Olympic spot is iffy though
??Yi - she's pleasant, but I'm still wondering what happened to Hongyi and Shan Lin
Eunsoo - SP was nice despite the mistake, though she could have just chosen other tango music, FS kind of a mess
Yelim - the lutz is so huge, I like the SP more than the FS, the Korean Olympic spots will be such a battle
Mai - look at her delivering so well, definitely in the mix for the Olympics at this point
Satoko - beautiful
Sofia - SP reaction was sad, I'm glad she was happier after the FS, I fear that was it for her and the GP though
Loena - don't really like either program, but she skated really well here. Big congrats
Maiia - she's performed the SP better but I do like the program for her, FS music not so much. Totally in the Olympic fight now
Anna - every time she looks in trouble, she pulls it out. Such a fighter ? Big win for her after the SP mistake and losing in Budapest. Not loving either program this year (or dress), she's had better

 

[Colonel Green]

Predicting when Anna won't come through is a bit like predicting when Ovechkin is going to stop being a goal-scoring machine.

 

[text_skate]

I really need to rewatch the movie.

? Searched my DVDs. I have it! Will watch instead of Men FS (too much heartbreak. If they skate decent, I will watch romorrow)

Miyahara. Pure class. Seriously, to me she is getting better and better each season (not jump-wise of course); I could watch her forever.

I've got goose bumbs during her step sequence ?.

Best Dressed: Miyahara.

Happy to be of some evening rescue help here

GP ?? Dance
ITA #3 - well... it's a shame Portesi Peroni/Chrastecky had to WD
CHN #2 - fine but meh, both programs, especially the POTO
CAN #4 - well, I enjoy the free at least, but yeah pretty much no Olympic chance
German Harley Quinn & Joker - I can't with the RD, and the free doesn't do much for me either so...
Future French #1 (?) - pretty good, but it's such a shame Thauron had to quit, cause I liked them more

CHN #1 - did not get Elvis from the costumes, fine but nothing special, not sure abt the FD yet
Surviving siblings - I guess it's good Gilles/Poirier will be done after this year, because the same initials for two North American dance teams is confusing, anyways they have the better Janet Jackson RD imo, shame about the fall, it really cost them
Puppy & Legs - no idea how Backstreet Boys goes with the Shawn Mendes song, but fun. I was distracting during the FD so no comment on that
USA #1 - the Janet Jackson is fine, but I'm not loving it. They can do sexy blues better than this. The lift is still legal, so that's good. But can these teams stop messing up choreo elements
FRA #1 - love the waacking, good choice for them, need the FD dress, so gorgeous

Three-letter nation identifiers are your friend. That was the easiest way to distinguish D&S (BUL), D&S (FRA), and D&S (RUS) from each other. Full surnames work too.

I mostly do Gr/Pa for the Americans, and either Gi/Po or just G/P for the Canadians.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Loena. Seriously, I am no big fan of her

I just don’t even know what to say to about that statement, it’s like chocolate without peanut butter. Makes no sense at all

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Who was the one who constantly had bad hair?!?! Like, always messed up looking but not on purpose? Not MaryAnn Grab a Boy... shoot, and it's not Julie Moron either. The one with that awful bird's nest mistake at a Nationals in the 90s. Leslie Visser! That's the one. You can play her! lol

Leslie Stahl?

Do I have the right last name?

My love for Pepelva/Pleshkov FS

 

[Jeschke]

And now Peng/Jin really fooled me to think they might have an outside shot at a medal in Beijing
I am set up for disappointment.
