#TeamTrainwreck 19: The Journey of a Thousand Miles Starts with a Single Splat

[rfisher]

I think I got a figure skating hangover after all those Challenger series events, I saw only entire RD comp at SA live and then checked few skates in replay , that’s it

@SmallFairy , congratulations

I know the feeling. By the time the senior GP events start, we've already exhausted ourselves on the junior GP and all the challengers. This year we also had the Russian test skates. We've seen most of the skaters performances by now and some of them multiple times. I didn't even stay up for ladies and it's my second favorite event after pairs.

Re:Tomono
I’d say it’s quite trainwrecky too skate to a Riverdance-program that is choreographed backwards. The total highlight happened within the first minute, the just letdown

 

[Jeschke]

Tomono for watchlist? He’s so good but his results are all over the place

Pinky!
I even thought about campaigning Tomono big time!
This is the closest you have ever come to an agreement with me
Congrats!

But: Pulkinen sits on watchlist spot.

 

[Vagabond]

I hope not to get reamed for this... but has Glenn ever been discussed for #TTW?

Yes.
She is not bad. Brings the splats and co.
Heartbreak. Nope.

Do not despair, @AngieNikodinovLove, at least not quite yet. If you can post a link to a video of Glenn's Free Skate at last season's Philadelphia Summer International Competition, da bossman might let her onto the Team.

Let it be a challenge to you.

I actually predicted him to win bronze at SKAM. That in itself probably doomed him.

That skate is as mythic as Schott's 3a.

 

[SamuraiK]

On Glenn. I do feel for her shortcomings all these years so there's some heartbreak. However not enough to be a top contender these days. so I say No. (Yeah, I know that sound hypocrite when we have Schott here but that's Boss mess not mine)

Tomono: If he gets lowballed again at next event Im all for it. Much interesting than naturally gaybrow Pulkinen.

Pah, of our 8 ladies to date, Schott is #3 based on outings this season I would say

They are all hanging in there on past heights Schott will never reach though but is a fair point, which means the whole ladies team should be ditched. We need new blood.

LOL, wait.. is this the one where she scored like an 80, and then left the ice right away and didnt even stay for her score??

Oh man.. I will try but Im getting ready to go to Netherlands... but this is worth it. lol

One is mythic. The other is mythical.

I think I didn't give YourBoy any Do Hard this week but he definetly deserves recognition

Brown beating Aliev?
What the hell?

Aliev beating Aliev. Per normal.

But: Pulkinen sits on watchlist spot.

He does. And he skates this coming weekend. I will for him in the arena.

 

[lurkz2]

Regarding Chen... yes, so much effort always into the programs. So little effort always into the costumes. Black pair of pants, and then just stop at Marshalls on the way to the event for some shirt.

Either that or Raf just bouth 2x1 cheap shirts on the way to the rink.

Is it better or worse that Nathan was wearing a homemade shirt? Made by his mother no less...

Awe thanks , I can't believe that they even made it there under the circumstances!

Be proud of me, I watched both programs live on the stream, which is a first for me!!

So I'm ready for Grenoble, bring it on!

No qualification round, so Tiff seems pretty safe despite you in the stands

Living up to your reputation @Jeschke!

Tiff's pics on FB seemed to indicate they were having a good time and they were Mamma friendly. Which one of the senior Russian women were assigned to supervise Anna and not let her run wild in Vegas?

Does Kazuki getting involved in the magic show during the gala qualify for "bizarre off-ice incidents"?

Paul Fentz at Zwinger Pokal Dresden

SP: 2Lo, 1A, 3Lz+2T
FP: 3A (fall), 3A+2T, 2Lz+2T, 3Lo, 3S+2T, 2Lz, 1A (tech 48 pts.)

no words needed!

That SP sounds like POTS...sigh
All hail for ladies combo of 1996.

(((Fentz))) (((Me)))

«Zwinger Pokal Dresden» sounds kind of trainwrecky....

 

[Laney]

There's just no pleasing our bossman!

I can't wait for Grenoble to see Aliev and Amyoz live.

Our boy won´t be in Grenoble this year It´s boreman who´s there again... And grandpa. And Shulepov, not sure he has his own name here. But Aymoz and Posterboy will be there from the team, so we sure will have some pops and falls and fun

 

[Vagabond]

And Shulepov, not sure he has his own name here.

Perkov. It's his married name.

sure...

Definetly worse but since this was on home Ice and Momma was likely there is forgiven.

Do leave Nathan's tourbus-seat shirt alone. It will probably be changed by season's end anyway, and it is so much better than the Vera Wang costumes regardless.

After Tiff had to spend a very long 8 days on bed rest to totally immobilize her knee, then a painful week of training on a very poorly knee, I think she was out to make the most of her free day in Vegas yesterday before the 24 hour long return journey! Tiff was not on mamma duty, she was sharing with Konstantinova

Ouch. My knee hurts in sympathy.

I hope her knee will heal soon and I wish her a great season without pain!!

Fair. Pulkinen probably deserves it even more. Especially with his Josh Farris program and costume this season...
