#TeamTrainwreck 11: Foreplay over Coldplay

It's going to be a sad farewell for Kostner and maybe Marchei/Hotarek as well. I'm not sure of their plans, but Anna wants to move on so I guess we see if Ondrej is through competing also. I'm hoping they can medal (I'd even sacrifice the Empress in this case because I also want Tarasova/ Morozov to medal to make sure Russia has a spot for Susie next year!). I hope this is an Italian love fest. I'll be eating pasta for every event.

I'm kind of hoping some of the Olympic medalists need to rest up before making $$$$ touring and open up a couple of spots. I wouldn't be sad if one of the Russians were replaced with Konstantinova (not that I'm a big fan) just because Russia might, just might think she should skip junior worlds and Gubanova would get the spot.

As for Brown, I'd rather Ross had the chance, especially given that Rippon didn't do any better at the Os than he would have.

But, it's a new quad and we'll be losing members (sorry Boss, but Bob has left the building) and gaining new. Dust off the seats on the train and let's start it rolling again.
 
Question for daBoss and his scribe: how long do we keep the retired, but not formally retired skaters on the train? For example, Gracie Gold? Boss advocates forever because he just can't let go, but shouldn't there be some time line? We give the boot to those whose skills decline past the point of being able to medal. Just askin...

Brezina is out, Bob is out, I/M are for all practical purposes out, Miner, Dornbush (did he finally get the axe?) Han (not even getting sent to worlds by his fed is a big oops), Mari (finally), all the Marias.

I have no one left. :(

This is a good question and answer will be given, as last year, with kibosh (April 1st).

For those wobbling, there will be special restrictions: as for GG, this would mean: not showing up at Nationals'19 she is out. She had a tough year and we do not let our members down that easily! But if she does not compete until then, byebye, take the bus!

Edit: Joshi got kicked due such restrictions

Bob was never in, okay, she actually was one day until the big uproar :rofl:

Brezina, I/M will be removed with season end-list (=kibosh, April 1st); Miner will be removed, when he announces retirement until then, the same date.

The only Maria remaining, I have to discuss with vice on our secret Fidji-meeting :summer:
 

4 year plan for TM2:

2018: find a partner (does she have one right now?) and practice :glamor:
2019: Russian Cup events, build momentum
2020: golden Challenger Series debut!
2021: Grand Prix debut, medal at nationals
2022: Euros, Worlds, and Olympic glory
:encore:

Also, for some reason, I want to see TM2 doing a Michael Jackson FD, preferably Dangerous-era. Thanks!
