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

[Jeschke]

Peltonen. Wow I would have bet everything I own she was going to do a waxel or fall on the axel.

So harsh. Love it

Let's just say I didn't need any kleenex to make it through this program.

? @Laney , see what you have done!

Shiraiwa. Stunning dress, music, and program. Probably one of my favorite SPs of the year. I could re-watch it all day. I'm hoping we get a clean performance somewhere!

Yes yes yes!

 

[Mad for Skating]

Susie Much improved twist, she landed her SBS jump (he doubled), tiny but very nice landing on the Thlutz. SHE'S BACK

WOOHOOHOO! Tbh this was much better than I expected, and I think they’ll keep improving!
I take his double jump as a true sign of his commitment to being her Bruno Massot

I just love Boikova/Kozlovskii/Moskvina. That’s it

Me too! They’re just the perfect team!

Stolbova/Novoselov - What happened to her lips? She looked kinda different ? Not sure what to think to be honest; to me she was overpowering/overselling it right from the start. I really liekd Andrei, well, I always have, so no surprise here, I have no clue where to put them inside RUS. Sorry for @Mad for Skating it did not start better.

Well, I’ll take it! It could’ve been better but it could’ve been true trainwreck material. I just want a bolder dress for her!
(Re: the lips - I think she got a bit of work done around the end of 2017, and she wasn’t wearing her usual bright lipstick. She also grew out her hair and had it pulled back, so that changed her look too).

The right place for this discussion is here:

Thank you.

Thanks, Bossman. You’re like the bouncer who throws all the annoying people out of our club.

He needs to do some serious reevaluation of his future before Europeans. This has been a disaster season.

Pulling out?
Pf ?

 

[alchemy void]

Mysterious GP withdrawal surely has to buy Dannyboy another couple weeks on the team... ?‍

 

[taz'smum]

Denied!

I wish just for once that you would stop beating about the bush and make a firm decision!

 

[Vagabond]

MESS, it was improvised MEEPOTS, which is ineligible-

GP ?? Men FS

Samarin. I'll enjoy that win in silence. My man
Our ****ing boy Who cares about the zayak, I love him. And he looks so damn good all in black! Welcome GPF!

Ignatov. Who would have thought he could hold it together?! Well done buddy! Still, we got robbed of Glinka here
#missionGPF is on!

Litvintsev. Totally my type skating wise. Thoughts folks?

If I'll get all 3 RUS guys at GPF, I will need Schott's Kleenex box, that's for sure.

 

[love_skate2011]

Aliev in the GPF,
didn't see that coming

can we add Makar to TTW ?
Looks like Posterboy is no longer posterboy , should we just remove him

 

[alchemy void]

Ignatov. Who would have thought he could hold it together?! Well done buddy!

The appeal of Ignatov is what exactly? Other than the fact that he's gorgeous and coached by Rukavicin? Come to think of it, that's probably much more than enough.

((((Schott))))

Litvintsev. Totally my type skating wise. Thoughts folks?

Same. Reminds me of Naurits. But with quads.

 

[love_skate2011]

pls add Makar, he is Rukavicin too
can he hold it together in NHK ?

#makeitthree
Is that being too greedy ?

 

[Ka3sha]

I know that he was overscored in PCS today , but am SO happy for Ignatov!

I have liked him since 2017 Junior Nats and said it even then that he would become a perfect -member in the future!

 

[Ka3sha]

In other news ,
I somehow ended up liking Samarin’s music, but his PCS are also quite generous to say the least..

 

[Jeschke]

Begging did never helped in here

Watch me getting you all on board until 2022 olympics, when he, in best #ttw manner will fail to make the team

 

[rfisher]

I will die if there are 3 Russian men at the GPF. And then none of them medal.

 

[alchemy void]

Me too! I'm probably going to download it by GPF.

Can we get him another costume? That shirt with the ridiculous cuffs and portrait on the back isn't doing it for me.

I demand a GordeiPots-memorial-one!

GP ?? Ice Dance FD

Shpilevaya/Smirnov. Good for them beating S/A clearly here. Did the stationary lift always look that way? I cannot recall, but I totally liked it.

I still believe that she has questionable skating skills

Who cares about skills, when you have #thefinger?

Saulius. Hottest export in Bavaria ever. I just needed a reason to show off that picture with Steffan

What else do you need?

 

[SmallFairy]

I’m finally at home, managed to catch up.

Ignatov on podium, OMG, by 0,63! We saw him here first! (I wasn’t sure he would manage to continue after his choreo seq, he was so totally dead by then)


Our boy zayaked the lutz There’s always something. At least he didn’t skate into the boards. GPF next I hope!

Samarin’s ace combo is wild, his power into it is unmatched, wow But comparing his moves to Litvintsev, who I keep gushing over, poor Bossman’s fave falls short. Litvintsev moves like a ballet dancer - his head, arms, hands, wrists, the way he holds his back...I love him!

And #finger didn’t let us down. So present. And Smirnov looked dead good out there. I’m happy!

BTW All Russian podium? It’s been a while! Memories of Yagudin, Plushenko, Abt days...

 

[pinky166]

Love Litvintsev too! Can we add him to the team or at least watchlist?! I mean he skates for AZE, he had a novice lady score in the SP but then quite a good score in the FS. He has quads, his hair is interesting

Also hooray for S/S slaying and getting a PB in the FS! Moving on up. Also, if there was any doubt, Shpilevaya has the best rack in skating now (sorry Leonova). Smirnov still needs to fix his hair tho

 

[rfisher]

it seems the boys got all the #TTW magic today. ((((((Stasia)))))

These are Qualities. Does he meet the Criteria? ?️‍

GP ?? Ladies FS

Schott. Well. No 3f3t and 3lo1lo. No WR points. Me not pleased today.

Stasia. There breaks my heart. Again
