#TeamTrainwreck 11: Foreplay over Coldplay

  • Thread starter Thread starter Jeschke
  • Start date Start date
The first flight and final flight were absolutely stunning! :respec:

The second flight was pretty good and the penultimate group was a hot mess.

If by stunning you mean everyone in last group (except for maybe Satoko) giving lesser performances than what they had already shown during the season, well yes.
 
Boss Olympic Ladies FS recap (as it happened):

Overall - either this was underwhelmig or I already lost too much energy during the games and all the sports :drama:

Paganini - Intentional double in Olympic FS, WTF! :mitchell:
Hendrickx - My taste she is not, but I appreciate she has bigger balls than her brother.
Meite - Miss the sass. What will she bring next season?
Kim - Mikhailova she ain't!
Li - Team her up with Han Yan for pairs!
Toth - :blah:
Tursy - It's about da mama, who cares about Tursys skating? But please send her to dinner with Lori Nichol please!
Peltonen - Boring. German ES guy is so much into her.
Craine - Back to modified original costume. Loved the original green stones more though.
Schott - After best SP of the season, worst FS of the season :gallopin1 I guess overall she can be pleased. Good job!
Rajicova - Boring.
Williams - Nyah :swoon: Her skating, such a shame :drama:
Sotskova - Stasia for worlds!
Chen - Wonderful US fed, wonderful :wall:
Tennell - :blah:
Daleman - :gallopin1-POTS-shortlist! There should have been a new drama costume!
Choi - Stunning beautiful :glamor:
Nagasu - I want Nagasu'10 back :shuffle:
Miyahara - Great skate, great sportswoman in green room :respec:
Kostner - :gallopin1
Sakamoto - I still want her for worlds!
Zagitova - I am fine with her winto be honest. I feel for her, as it seemed, she could not even enjoy the moment, not even at the victory ceremony. Though I fear with her body, I hope she proves all haters wrong and will be there for another quad, slaying!
Osmond - Not my type of skater, but for once, she remained on he feet, kudos to that :respec:
Medvedeva - Tough to watch her. Fighters do come back! :respec:

I am pleased olympics are almost over, no energy left!
 
Shpilevaya/Smirnov are great but he has to heal his injury first and I have a lot of doubts about Zhuck as a coach, her girls usually can't skate and their knees are pretty stiff
Shevchenko/Eremenko (I know, @SmallFairy will :lynch: me), I luuurve their material and their looks, but she can not skate :wall:

I'm late to the party....I just have to say I love both couples. And that doesn't bode well for the future, does it??? :wuzrobbed But fingers crossed for a glorious future. #hopedieslast
 
Give me video proof, I migh re-consider! It's not burnt in my mind as spectacular!
I watched it again (have it recorded). It actually looks more spectacular from the replay-angle, when he's rolling on his stomach. I'll get back to you when I find some online footage;)
 
Count me in as one who spend all her energy on pairs and men... Last night was kinda chill, sofa+bf+candy. I wasn't that invested, but more invested in Med than I knew about. I guess I cannot argue with the results, but her crying as her score came up was just heartbreaking. She's such a sweet girl and really wanted it so badly. Come back and slay in four years girl! What a great story that will be.

Kinda recap:
Bf liking Lil Sis 2.0, Choi, Gabby, Osmond and Sotskova's very clean jumps. He fell asleep towards the end of group 2, and again during Caro:lol: "That wasn't very exciting". Meite - "She looks like an amazon"
I mostly agree with him. So happy for the Korean girls, on home ice!

Me - Good job by Kim, So happy for the Korean girls, on home ice! (though bring me Davydov's girl and her headband!), Craine, Da Schott. Satoko Tiny Queen! Sakamoto so much to love.
Too bad about Isadora, but her basics are really not very good.

Zzzzz - Rajicova, Toth, Paganini, Li, Peltonen (seriously girl, you can do so much better, in every aspect of this!)
Blah, what's up with you - American girls, Tursy (The Prayer, come on, and those jumps never improve),
 
Ladies LP recap:

Williams: Back to your Obscure status. That was poor.
Toth: The injury still bothers her. But hey we can not have a ladies LP without Carmen so yay.
LI: Fell asleep :shuffle:
Paganini: I already forgot her.
Peltonen: Georgeous face, check. Total inability to jump beyond doubles, check. Drops like a stone after the LP, check. Still gets skating while pretty PCS bonus, check. YEP, she's a true finn.
Meite: I was robbed of slutty sandy for this crap:duh:
Schott: Ok, but too soon after Lipnitskaya to really impress.
Craine: Her happiness while skating is infectious!
Hendricks: Nothing negative, nothing truly positive to say either.
Daleman: :eek: Only real meltdown of the whole olympics. Bitchface turned into miserable face:(
Rajicova: She keeps improving but at a glaciar pase.
Kim: Delivered at home olys is all that matters, but what an awful version of Winner Takes It All.
Tursy: Fell asleep :shuffle: Woke up in time to see momma doing her thing though. Yay
Chen: Most passionless tango ever!
Nagasu: I hate that even I fell into the 3A hype and was commeting about it to my family and then boom she POPS it!:angryfire
Tennell: A pumpkin
Sotskova: Less zzzz than in the SP at least.
Choi: Jump fest but very happy for her!!
Sakamoto: My new fave of the season
Kostner: Bravo Caro!! Just watching you is a gift.
Miyahara: For a moment I thought she had the bronze.
Osmond: She's an eagle, a phoenix but swan she ain't.

Magnificat level
Evgenia: :fragile::fragile::fragile::fragile::fragile: Im ok with the result but I can also see the argument with the PCS overscoring for Alina. Med was thrown under that train at the last minute just like Karenina.
Zagitova: Haters gonna hate but olympic champion forever she will be.:encore:

Do-Hard Award : Kailani:smokin:
 
I'm kind of relieved Olympics are over...now onto the important shit!

Russian Cup final ladies results:
1 Alena KOSTORNIA MOS 216.70 1 1
2 Anastasia GUBANOVA SPB 206.29 2 2
3 Darya PANENKOVA MOS 191.67 3 5
4 Sophia ISTOMINA MOS 190.40 6 3
5 Anastasia GULYAKOVA MOS 190.34 5 4
6 Polina TSURSKAYA 18.19 4 7
7 Anna TARUSINA MOS 187.51 7 6
8 Alyona LEONOVA St. Petersburg 179.32 8 8
9 Ekaterina RYABOVA MOB 172.16 9 9
10 Valeria MIKHAILOVA MOS 167.63 10 10
11 Lidia YAKOVLEVA SPB 158.28 11 11

Another good result for Gubanova here. This is my recommendation to Russian fed:
(a) replace Sotskova at Worlds for Konstantinova
(b) replace Konstantinova at Junior Worlds with Gubanova

Let's spread the wealth! :cheer:

And not a bad result for Perkova, unfortunately she peaked on the Grand Prix this season. :fragile: Let's kick some ass at the Challengers next season please!

I too want Konstantinova to somehow end up at senior worlds so Gubanova goes to junior, but I hope it's because Zagitova is too busy to go rather then the Fed booting Sotskova. I think this is her last chance. And Polina! WTH? Is she injured again???
 
I do not want to be even thinking about Tsurskaya and #TTW. Even if we're going to have post season openings after Gold, Brezina, Minor, and BOB/SOL all retire. :saint: And Luba/Dylan as well since it seems they aren't going to go to Worlds even with the retirement of Duh/Rad. Something seriously wrong happening with them.

And, one has to wonder what James/Cipres plans are.

Where do you have that from?!

Wasn't there an interview, where they said, they might go for another season, then Vanessa retires; Cipres unsure what to do.

.
It was in the who's going to world's thread. I think. Or in the secret thread. I'll have to go back and look. There were no details other than the rumor was they weren't going.

ETA: I did check and as I said, no details at this point, just the rumor that they aren't going. I guess we'll have confirmation soon enough.

I want to nominate Daleman for the team, but I already know how that request will end :p

Her performance last night was truly a :gallopin1-deluxe though, so sad for her!

Proud of DaSchott although I thought she should have scored closer to Rajickova. Oh well.

Peltonen I’ve decided to nickname Finnish Pogo. They are so similar, and she was beautiful and heartbreaking last night. Next season she will slay!

I support this but I think world medal + Oly team medal kick her out?
Because all the off ice drama is there too :p

On another Canadian note, boss will be soon wearing proudly his new avatar for all of you to see :cheer2:
 
Closer to AbbaGirl than she is to the winner.

AbbaGirl needs to represent BLR immediately!

To avoid you missing the real events again:
Ladies Challenge Cup SP tonight, 7:30, central europe time.
Hongo, Klotz, Viking, Mrs3lz3t, Finn#2, Higuchi, random german diva chick, and Rizzochick (+ Honda,who does not fit in this list :p)

:encore:
Thank you. I should be able to catch the LPs. Slay Klotz!

I totally agree! :respec: So many similarities.

You are learning. Don't worry, though. Your place in the Fans' Auxiliary is safe. :)

And, as da bossman has noted, her FS deserves serious consideration for :gallopin1-POTS. [Performance of the Season, for those of you who are new here.]
I support this but I think world medal + Oly team medal kick her out?
Team medals count for nothing, unless the skater has does something worthy of MESS [Most Epic Splat of the Season], MEEPOTS [Most Epic Ending Pose of the Season, or POTS or even a berth on #TTW. :COP:

On the other hand,
Criteria:
1) Skater needs a complete package to potentially be a top skater at Euros/4CC's/Worlds/Olympic level
2) Skater needs to have the ability to absolutely rock one day and splat the day after. Even better: rock and splat during one program
3) Skater is not afraid of breaking one's heart over and over again
4) Skater needs more splat/messy performances than great ones


Rules:
1) Worlds/Olympic medalists and Euro/4CC's champions are not eligible
....

FAQ:
...
Sally Skater fell on her triple flip at last weekend's competition. Surely that makes her worthy of the Team.
In and of itself, falling once or even several times in one program does not warrant membership. Please reread the Criteria.
Daleman is ineligible due to Rule #1, but even without her World medal, she doesn't meet Criterion #4 and arguably doesn't meet #2 or #3 either.

@Jeschke Norwegian media is reporting thar around the world people are angry with Da Schott because she's German and is skating to Schindler's List?!?!? Wtf?? Did you hear anything about it? It's about as stupid as it gets:wall: (and she's not excactly the first to use this music. Blah!)

My two cents: I haven't heard anything specifically about Schott, but sadly that wouldn't surprise me as the most common way of reacting for folks in Latin America and apparently is the same in other regions.
 
Da Empress and her former partner also skated to it... Just sayin´...
back then there wasn't much twitter and FB (it was discussed, though, sometimes passionately).

Controversy sells :slinkaway

Guinard/Fabbri "danced" to Schindler's list, too

It's just a magazine trying to make a big story out of some angry tweets (and making by click rate good money out of it). It's trending in German language press, made it to Austria and Switzerland, too.
 
My overall Olympics recap: :fragile:

While I think that most of the results are fair and all medalists got their well-deserved medals, I'm still heartbroken..
- I wanted Sui/Han to win the gold (sorry :glamor:)
- I wanted Yuzuru not to win his second gold (sorry not sorry :slinkaway)
- I wanted Madi&Zack to medal (sorry, my nerves)
- I wanted Med to win ( :wuzrobbed ) and Caro to medal (delusional)

As you can see, nothing out of it happened. But I'm still really glad that the Empress is finally an OGM and that V/M are the most decorated figure skaters of all time :encore:Legends :kickass:

I'm not too ashamed to suggest it right now: what about Patrick Chan for the Hall of Fame?
- Is he brilliant?
- Yes!
- Is he a headcase?
- Absolutely!
- Splats?
- Are you kidding?!
- Heartbreak?
- For sure!
:gallopin1

:gallopin1

If we look at the last quad, :gallopin1:gallopin1:gallopin1 express entry
If we look earlier, I love his skating but he used to win despite splatting :gallopin1
Lots of off ice drama with continuous coaching changes, dating coach daughter, controversial quotes at press conferences, etc..:drama:
