She has at least two one of the Qualities, but is she heartbreaking?

Heart-broken is a strong term, but folks were disappointed that they were injured and out most of the season--especially after their amazing 16-17 FD.

5) Proposals can be submitted in the #teamtrainwreck thread
6) New membership is granted only to current skaters

I think there's a difference between trainwreck worthy based on a skater/team's actual results/performances and simply being a fan favorite team based on general taste of the posters around here. Shpilevaya/Smirnov fall into the later category IMO

for once, I agree

She is and so is her partner!!

One of these days I really should YouTube this Shpilevaya as I still have no idea who she is.

Somehow I feel like watching FREED and Queen U vids will be more stimulating.

And speaking of stimulating, Lil Sis (the one who beat Konstantinova at Worlds) is doing a nice 2flip-3toe-2loop from a difficult entrance on instagram.

Oh, how can you even ask? And you didn't even mention him... You all know how I was in the dark valley last season!

In the meantime, let’s talk about Smirnov and Eremenko’s vacation with Stepanova.

I still havent watched any videos of Anna Rechniio despite her being mentioned so effusively in this thread but i never feel like in the mood to watch some C-list ladies skating from the 90s.

That looks like Khrustalniy so she’s still there at the very least.

Well let's see .. 5th and 6th is basically the same record of Chouinard and Volchkova. Not exactly leading ladies of their generation soo B+ list ?? happy?

In 1998 she was even 2nd after the short with this performance : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eym3nxL6650

B+ seems a step forward (btw, is there any distinction between B list and B+ list )

The MESS competition this year made me think of this old clip from Albertville Olympics. It doesn't seem like satire anymore...

Haven't seen this in ages. Shades of Leonova 2016 TdF.

Phil Hartman (RIP) and Dana Carvey really nailed Verne Lundquist and Scott Hamilton.

I think this program was the inspiration. The dialogue between Scott and Verne is almost identical, Verne even says "bless her heart" at one point.

And even still according to her wiki she never reached higher than 5th on the GP circuit or higher than 7th at Euros..

The + is for those who, like her, had the medal glory within reach but then pulled a Nagasu and failed big time.

I just checked the video. I did like her. She was very pretty and loved her energy, attack and joy!

Oh of course.. that little finger is like the miraculous mandarin of TTW. Performed only once and people going crazy for it with no real reason why..
