Torgashev's sp yesterday was so cheesy and flowy, I loved it! He moves way better than Gogolev. I see a trainwreck in the making of he keeps on jumping like he does now...
 
I must confess I have never watched any video of Julia Soldatova, not even her world bronze performance:slinkaway:slinkaway
 
The dark days of Russian ladies skating which led to a nation wide procreation of baby girls genetically modified to do quad jumps at birth. :cheer2:

Weren't these the same days when Slutskaya was the sacred kween's main rival and even Butyrskaya managed to took one World title from her?? :shuffle:

What worries me is where he gets so much pressure from? . If he were a stablished senior with something to prove I could understand but the kid is still in the JGP.. All the juniors generally skate with a careless nothing to lose attitude but he's always nervous as if his life depend on his jumps and of course he dies by the end.
 
Aside from Krall being an escape from Zakrajsek without having to have to move from the center of the USFS universe, whom has Cristy Krall helped overall? I'm not trying to be snarky, but I just don't know whether the Dartfish approach is better for concentrated work and analysis vs. long-term coaching.

I thought this was a significant step forward for Torgashev. Not a total meltdown, he just about rotated everything, and actually moved up to 3rd in the LP! :cheer:

The program and movement is, of course, stunning and engaging. He even makes that long telegraphed 3a entrance look good.

Patience, my friends. :)
 
I only have one favorite skater left who hasn't made it onto TTW, but she's trying.

The Han Yan Fan Van missed the train this year due to 4 flat tires. He is one skater who needs to take this year off to heal whatever ails him, and spend time with his new coaching team to see if his skating career can be salvaged.
 
Andrew has only relatively recently moved away from his parents as his coaches, who by the way are responsible for his excellent basic skating skills, so give him time. He's grown a lot, missed a year due to injury and does a lot of other stuff. He just needs to get his head in the game now.

I'm on the Righini train! (I really like his haircut; much better than the little ponytail/man bun look!) Where the heck is he, anyways? He hasn't competed in ages!

Han Yan has 3 4CC bronze medals so he should be inelegible. Yes, a 4CC bronze is the most irrelevant of the major medals but still....

I believe I actually nominated Torgashev for TTW because of his senior domestic eligibility but was denied. He has the goods.

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-Yes. See his most recent international win at the prestigious Philly Challenge, 2015 Junior Nationals, 2016 Talinn Trophy bronze then last year's JGP final long and failure to qualify to the long program at Junior Worlds. Ability to land a 4t and nothing else in a program
3) Skater is not afraid of breaking one's heart over and over again-Meh. He doesn't really break my heart, but he really does have potential.
4) Skater needs more splat/messy performances than great ones-Obviously check.

Rules:
1) Worlds/Olympic medalists and Euro/4CC's champions are not eligible-Perfect. Can't even medal at JW
2) Multiple Euros/4CC's medal winners are not eligible Again perfect

6) New membership is granted only to current skaters-yes

8) Membership can be cancelled due to points 1) and 2), numerous decent skates in a row or not being competitive on elite level anymore. No worries of that so far

Qualities:
1) Being a student of Volchkova/Rukavicin
2) Big boobs/nice ass-
3) Boobs/belly/nipples showing

All and all he checks of a lot of boxes. Might as well get him in early as he is only 17.

I hate to break it to you, but you won't find exactly what you are looking for.

Torgashev was halfway decent at Nationals which is more than I can say about most of his performances the last two years. I would agree with the denial. He had potential, but he hasn't showed us an elite skate in some time.

We all make mistakes. Fortunately, sometimes it is possible to correct them. :)

Keep those opinions coming folks. I feel the distinct need to do some housekeeping in our Avignon office this weekend.
