#TeamTrainwreck 22: Every dark cloud has a pewter lining!

[Wyliefan]

Fresh off her eleventh-place finish at Japanese nationals, Tomoe Kawabata skated two clean programs to win the silver medal behind Kaori at the Japanese Winter Sports Festival, a competition that doesn't matter even a little bit.

Ain't that always the way?

 

[SmallFairy]

Tomoe! I love her so much! #bluedanube4ever

So, who’ll be a new partner for Smirnov???

Annabelle? Not right now, but after the Olympic season?

 

[Jeschke]

TM2!

 

[Jeschke]

Annabelle?

Does VM already has an old-enough-kiddo too?

She has never skated a good free internationally.

Also, the skaters often had other skaters seated with them in the KnC at this event (Kaori and Mai!), which was fun.

Naurits had several of those on-ice bizarre accidents I know he’s ok for sunbathing, but is he skating? Have we seen him since he smashed into the ice face first

(((Kiibus)))

He needs a partner NOW!

Kiibus had YKW after Rostelecom, so probably she hasn't fully recovered yet

Pavliuchenko's hook-off was priceless, but I still cannot understand how Naurits did not run away winning MESS with that smash last season.

Lil' quiz for the evening: who were the 2 souls voting for him? (no archive-checking allowed )

My favorite line in the whole thing -

Screaming and shouting by coaches is NOT allowed

One of the many things that I like about Anna Tsareva is that it would never occur to her to scream or shout.

I will die if Savchenko/Massot are working their way back to compete next season. #Istillbelieve.

@Jeschke you have to make a trip to Oberstdorf and find out. Throw yourself at her feet and beg to know.

This sounds more like a job for vice

I just found that the Olympic Channel has the 2010 Olympic ladies' event up on its website. Finally! For some reason these videos weren't on their official YouTube channel (unlike the other three disciplines), and most of the programs are hard to find in any quality these days.

The Women's Short program was held on 23/02/2010 at the Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver (CAN). Kim Yuna (KOR) lead the competition into the Free Porgram after scoring a new world best score during the Short Program.

Analysis of junior nationals draw shots:
1) #slayerofbears still without full beard
2) Can next poserboy Naryzhnyy run fast enough away from @SmallFairy ?
3) Kostiukovich dress, hair and look is just everything #ttw longs for.
Nice try Briukhanov playing badboy (with bow-tie ); this round is cleary won by Polina though.

Heh, I joked earlier about how young he looked, but after such a long time since we've seen him in competition I was figuring he'd have grown some. He's halfway to sixteen now. I mean, he was clearly already going to be more a Scott Hamilton than an Evan Lysacek, but still.

Also, the girls continue to put effort into appearing at these things, while the boys mostly just show up in everyday clothes. Stereotypical, guys.

Awww Shishkova/Naumov were big favorites of mine; I always thought they were under-rated, this account is cute to see.
