#TeamTrainwreck 10: Unblock Me on Twitter! I Love You!

[rfisher]

I just want to see Stolbova/Klimov land that 3/3 combo.

It will be interesting to see which of Aliev, Samarin and Kolyada decide they want to go to the Olympics.

I'm torn between Caro getting another European medal and seeing a Russian sweep that will send fear through the Canadian fans. And worry through Japanese fans. US fans will be worrying about the US skaters gofundme pages to send their brother's best friend's dog to Korea.

Someone having her patriotic moment

Living in another continent and watching so many nationals may be the cause
But the truth is, my skating wishes so far are happening this season so I have to push hard for even more delusional ones hence #Italy4TeamBronze

That sounds...ehm...strange. Tea party every 4 weeks?

How are the chances of Pogo teaming up with Vik for dance?

Or maybe her boyfriend.

 

[Ka3sha]

Or maybe her boyfriend.

Representing Latvia and becoming a true OES skater

 

[Jeschke]

Or maybe her boyfriend.

@Jeschke I don't know about the Swedish criteria. Skate Sweden writes nothing about it, they're most busy with Synchro worlds My coach didn't know either.

The Swedish Olympic committee's website has a list of the athletes already chosen to go to Korea. No figure skaters yet, but it says there's two more selection dates; January 17th and January 23rd, though skating is not mentioned specifically as one of the sports still waiting for a selection.

I guess it makes sense that Euros is the tier, but we don't even know if anyone will be send. I guess there's hope, because both Matilda and Anita are very young and "the future", hopefully. More concerned about Majorov and his behind....

 

[SmallFairy]

I'm working from home today! Will be able to watch all the men! Loupolover!

 

[SmallFairy]

Ok, I found an article about the Swedish Olympic selection:
http://www.gp.se/sport/duell-om-os-plats-i-em-bra-för-oss-båda-1.4946037

Quotes:
"Euros will decide whether the Swedish Olympic committee will send any figure skaters to the OG, and if Östlund or Algotsson is chosen"

"In the mens event Alexander Majorov is chosen to compete. He needs to show good results at Euros to get a ticket to Pyeongchang."

"For our three singles skaters Euros will be one of the seasons most important competitions. There they have the chance to meet the criterias and be selected to the OG. For Anita it will be her first Euros, her skating has matured a lot, even during this season. For Matilda it's her third Euros. We're sending a strong trio to Russia" says Anna Hörnqvist, sport manager in the Swedish figure skating association.


So, it's those criterias again....

In another article Matilda says it's been some tough months. She moved to Tibro to train with Joshi, and it worked out very well, it was inspiring to have a training mate on the same level and they were pushing each other. Then Joshi retired. Matilda felt very lonely and needed to sort her head out. She says she skates because it's what she loves most in the world. It was hard for her when all the focus was on results. She praise her coaches and their support, and says she will work with a sport psychologist to get her right focus back, but she's positive it will be ok. The article was published December 27th, so hopefully she'll be back on track by now. Go Matilda!!

I can totally relate. That’s exactly how I felt when Joshi announced her retirement, too!

Ladies draw: Laurine last to skate in last flight

 

[levineismine]

BabyRizzo in last group! I don't expect that to hold, but it's cool for him and if he skates well he can aim at top8.

 

[Vagabond]

Daniel Samohin fell on his 4S, 3A<, and 3Z+3T<< today and did not qualify for the FS.

 

[jamesy]

Damn. 5 points of deduction in a SP.

Damn. 5 points of deduction in a SP.

It was thanks to that splatfest that Doctor Virtanen (#24) made it to the FS!

As a Finn, I have the patriotic duty to thank Daniel Samohin for the painful-to-watch but noble sacrifice he made to the Splat Monster of Moscow. *tips hat*
