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

I won silver too But I’m not going anywhere

You are going somewhere, you are going up in our estimations

 

[Jeschke]

Oh well. (((@SmallFairy )))
There is no turning back from here.

So when do we get a new thread title? After all the nationals and before Euro/4CC? Before Russian (junior and senior), US and Japanese nationals? (Sorry Canadians not much mystery going on as to who will get the Canadian titles and trip to 4CC/Worlds). Or before Junior/Senior Worlds

Folks, speak, do we have more than @clairecloutier and me cheering? I might consider membership with some half-hearted votes

Count me in! I’ve been an Alisa stan ever since @clairecloutier told me to watch them at 2016 Rostelecom Cup. It was a life-changing experience

your life is pretty dull if watching them changed it.

I have a feeling your loose mouth won't have much to laugh in the upcoming days

Who would I be without trainwreck pair skaters to love?
Besides, Alisa is a little spitfire. I identify with that.

Then you need to watch Daria Pavliuchenko

Right. If they get on the podium at Russian Nationals, I will mea culpa forever. I'll even make that top 5.

I love little Daria too! She’s tiny but she’s a boss. I like their short program a lot this year!

 

[pinky166]

Aymoz. So sloppy. Silver is a joke! This melodramatics afterwards ain't no fun no more

If Romsky had just landed his lutzes better and managed combos, he could have been 2nd but alas. Kevin being silver is okay simply because he had such a big lead in the SP. Also, he needs to keep his spot on the train secure and he managed to do that today by winning a medal, making GPF and still managing many a moment on and off the ice

Also I’m glad the blonde tips are gone, now Babou just has to follow suit!

Eys. As has been demonstrated perfectly well by Ross Miner, men don't need to get blond tips.

So uh, Eunsoo Lim. As much as I hate to even suggest it, she seems to be making a case to join the team

Those pogosplats on the lutzes were hard to watch and the teary yet dramatic bows after her skate were also reminiscent of Pogo at 2017 worlds...

I know bossman is a fan, what do we think, can she be on the watchlist?

And she's definitely had bizarre off-(competitive)ice incidents!

 

[Dobre]

I don't know what is happening with her triple lutz+triple toe combo this season. She's always been a bit hit or miss, but her percentages on the combo used to be much better. Some of her jumps are taking off at such a steep angle. Feels reminiscent of Kostner during a tough season.

I’m for it! She reminds me of So-youn Park, Bossman’s other Korean fave

 

[oleada]

So Miura/Kihara have to be a Tursy-POTS nomination, right? Either program. Those K&C were too adorable. I'm a fan

 

[Doggygirl]

Efimova/Korovin. Well, for their standards this was ****ing clean. I am such a big fan. Folks, speak, do we have more than @clairecloutier and me cheering? I might consider membership with some half-hearted votes

#TTWLurker raises hand!!! I love them!

 

[Doggygirl]

I won silver too But I’m not going anywhere

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Totally. I can't decide if I liked the SP or LP k&c better.

She does look tall and limby like Kostner but this new crop of Korean girls are all built like that and the others seem to be faring better. I think the combination of the drama last season, switching coaches (presumably not by choice) and having to adjust technique and growing altogether have just made things messy.

Also is she even training with any other top Korean skaters now? Seems like all the national team skaters are training abroad now.

In any event, I hope she improves her consistency. I love her skating and style, costumes, look etc. But if she can’t do that, I’d at least like to claim her on our team of stunning, heartbreaking train wrecks

Eunsoo Lim and Haein Lee have the same coach so I assume they train together.

I agree that several of the Korean ladies have a similar build. But I'm not sure if Eunsoo is struggling more. I think that may be a perception because it is happening for her after she reached the international senior spotlight. Young, Yelim, and Eunsoo have all struggled with an adjustment while appearing to grow a bit taller. Young struggled last season on the JGP (when she didn't qualify for the JGPF). And Yelim has been struggling with coming up too close to the boards this season. (I noticed it was a challenge for her in practices at the JGPF last year too, but not at 4CCs).

Seems like all the national team skaters are training abroad now.

No. Yelim is training in Korea. Wi trains in Korea. Who is training abroad except for You?

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Different rules apply to adult skating, there we nurture and encourage
(until they get too big for their own boots, then we slap them down....

@pinky166 I approve you are back to weekly suggestions again!
