Farewell Betina Popova / Sergey Mozgov!
Entry: Dec 27th, 2019
Exit: Feb 17th, 2020
Career highlights: Universiade 2019, 1st; Nationals 2018, 4th; Nationals 2019

Your ride on our beloved train ends to soon. The writing was somehow on the wall but you forced your way into #TeamTrainwreck anyway. You were one of the few chosen ones getting a ticket by popular vote! In best #ttw fashion we never saw you compete again after. Your skating was refreshing and different. Even though you couldn't convince bossman of the real heartbreak factor, you succeeded in leaving your very own mark in the skating world.
You literally brought the sex into #TeamTrainwreck.
You had solid competitive programs, but we will always remember and love you for those priceless exhibitions you came up with: the jail, the marriage, the Power Rangers, the dinosaurs.
You won #ttw olympics, the Universiade, so you can leave the sport in peace. Thanks for your stunning 1st Carmen dress (ditched way too soon after one outing :drama: ), thanks for bringing the headband, thanks for your hilarious interviews and above all: thanks for being you!

До свидания!

FAQ:

If I post in this thread, does that mean I'm on #TTW?

No, the skaters are the ones on the Team, not us. But you may aspire to joining the Fans' Auxiliary.

Who decides whether a skater's membership should be cancelled on grounds other than medalling or retirement?
Normally, the bossman, possibly with the advice of vice. But there's always a first time for everything.

Why is Alena Leonova on the List? She has a World Silver Medal.
There's a Perkova Rule, which is so obvious it doesn't need to be included in the Rules above, namely, a skater is on the Team if she (1) has only one World or Olympic Silver or Bronze Medal and no international gold medals, (2) has never won her home country's National Championship, and (3) is Perkova.

What about Liza Tuktamysheva and Yan Han?
The bossman has his delusions, and we humor him.

Do you have to be voidy to be on the Team?
No, but it helps. You do, however, have to be heartbreaking.

Is there an anti-American bias here?
Not at all. Several Americans are or have been on the team, e.g., Ross Miner, Gracie, and Camden Pulkinen.

What is the Pantheon?
The Pantheon is something we cooked up here in the #TTW Press Office to promote those skaters who have retired. Each member of the Pantheon must embody in his or her own way the essence of Team Trainwreck as determined by the pressman.

How do I get on the Fans' Auxiliary?
Not by asking or campaigning for it.

What is the Black Mark of #TTW?
It's our own special curse, bestowed when da bossman allows a skater to the Team based on a certain number of votes rather than his own judgment or a consensus, as required by Rule #3. The curse has been known to end skaters' careers or send their lives into a tailspin.

Sally Skater and Peter Partner tripped each other after doubling their salchows at last weekend's competition. Surely that makes them worthy of the Team.
In and of itself, falling once or even several times in one program does not warrant membership. Please reread the Criteria.

Why aren't skaters allowed on the Team before they skate Seniors at the international level?
We want to give them time to mature without putting too much pressure on them.

Why is this thread in The Trash Can, whereas From Russia with Love is in Great Skate Debate?
That's a good question.

Is there a King and Queen, or is everybody equal?
No, but we do have the bossman and vice.

Can someone clarify what this thread is for/about?
No.

I believe the Knierims have too many 4CC medals, though of course the medal requirement gets waived semi-frequently.

Hee-hee. What is the medal requirement???

Here's where the Ks are with some of the other criteria:


Criteria:
1) Skater needs a complete package to potentially be a top skater at Euros/4CC's/Worlds/Olympic level


I submit their 2016 4CCs silver medal free skate (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RRpaAiyaiQ&t=10s); also this year's SP at Nationals.

Full-package potential has (occasionally) been there!! :bloc: :biggrinbo


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

Look no further than this year's Nationals SP and this year's 4CCs SP: In 2 weeks, we go from the sublime to the terrible ....


3) Skater is not afraid of breaking one's heart over and over again

No matter how bad things have gotten, the Ks keep coming back yet again to try to land those SBS jumps! :lol:


4) Skater needs more splat/messy performances than great ones

There is no doubt they qualify in this category! :biggrinbo


Note, I am not seriously invested here, but I just think there should be more pairs/ice dancers!!

Definitely need more pairs and ice dancers on this train!
Agree, still we are no welfare 🙅‍♂️
Wouldn't the Knierims qualify?
The curse of @AngieNikodinovLove strikes again 🆘
(2) da bossman liked them more
More? :shuffle:
The Knierims have a silver and a bronze.
And before someone asks: don't you dare to ask for Perkova-entrance!
Here's where the Ks are with some of the other criteria:
Thanks for the proposal Claire, but: DENIED! (uuuh, it's been a while; I kinda admit I missed those words :EVILLE: Oh ol' @pinky166 where are thou? :D)

Some random thoughts on potential ice dancers:

1. The Danadians. When and why did they left the team?
2. Hawayek/Baker? What about them? They bring the entertainment, the splats and crazy exhibitions. I also love their free dance this season and know that I am not the only one :p
3. I think all of us know that there are two male trainwrecks who are ineligible for the team due to medals and titles, but are true trainwrecks in their hearts :gallopin1
(and I just happened to be a fan of both teams....)

Pairs:
1. I’d suggest the Austrians , but doubt that they are really heartbreaking..
2. No Knierims, please!

LOLLLLLL 😂😂😂

Hang in there @clairecloutier It won’t be an easy ride. Sometimes before I make the Knierim’s argument I must have a shot of whiskey first. It sure takes the edge off!!!

I was just telling myself I should not post this, but you brought them up so clearly it is your fault...

:slinkawayHawayek & Baker only have one 4CC medal. You aren't supposed to have a win, but I would submit that that there should be an exemption to that rule during a 4CCs in an Olympic season.

I could submit an application, but I am on the wrong side of the ubermatrix with these two so that probably wouldn't be ethically fair. (I could provide insight into dates for splats, however, dating back--if my memory is correct--to juniors) & at one point on social media, there was a music or rap video? And also one with Jean Luc twerking. And Jean Luc playing a swan & Austin Powers in exhibitions. Plus all of Kaitlin's -----faces in the K&C when she doesn't love the scores.

BTW When did Gold come off the train and why? Is it because she only competed domestically this season?

I do think your coach throwing your team jacket in the trashcan during the nationals should be lifetime achievement!

Some random thoughts on potential ice dancers:
The only real potential somehow in dance have Nazarova/Nikitin for me; but somehow it felt they prefer travelling by ship, which sailed.
2. Hawayek/Baker? What about them? They bring the entertainment, the splats and crazy exhibitions. I also love their free dance this season and know that I am not the only one :p
H/B is a good suggestion. I love both their programs, especially the FD (with the Nebelhorn outfits of course) :p
They fit in quite well but yeah the heartbreak factor :shuffle:
1. The Danadians. When and why did they left the team?
No real trainwrecks anymore.
3. I think all of us know that there are two male trainwrecks who are ineligible for the team due to medals and titles, but are true trainwrecks in their hearts :gallopin1
Aiev will always be our boy, always! :drama:
who is #2? Samarin has only one medal, you must have made a mistake :D
1. I’d suggest the Austrians , but doubt that they are really heartbreaking..
Ah please, we do HARD not soft crazy! 🆘
