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 are Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and Han Yan on the List?
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., Amber Glenn, Camden Pulkinen, and Gracie Gold.

Isn't this "Team" just a haven for the bossman's favorites?
No. If it were, Alexander Samarin would have been on it years ago.

What is the Black Mark of #TTW?
It's our own special curse, bestowed when the 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.

Do Junior World medals disqualify a skater from consideration?
No. If anything, they add to the luster of a #TTW candidacy.

Why is this thread in The Trash Can, whereas From Russia with Love is in Great Skate Debate?
We care about the company we keep.

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

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

Very cute. He seems like a very laidback guy. Love the purple couches, although if I had some, I would want them to be some weird velvet pseudo-goth thing rather than the more respectable texture they have chosen. Which reminds me that I actually do need a new couch... mine is too stiff.

After "Perky Through the Ages," can "Eternally Yours, Perkova" be far behind? I hope that Alena Igorevna knows that she has fans here.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Skating it at Skate Canada in 2014 (Kelowna), she gave one of the best performances I've ever seen live, missed catch on the last spin be damned. She was enchanting.

Me too, but this is a good decision on his part. No way he was going to make the Olympic team so spending the training money is better served at University. Even if it's TCU.

Aaw, I thought Kraz told a while ago he would go for one more final season.
Either way, farewell my 🐂 !

His 'Dancing on my own' remains one of my fav (embarassing) guilty pleasures.

Maybe getting accepted into the Honor's College was enough incentive. Very few athletes are like Nathan who can handle both University and intensive training. TCU is a pretty good school. He has ambitions to be an immigration lawyer, so best of luck to his academic success.

The Russian Fed cares only about your most recent results. That European gold two years ago means nothing. Aliev and Kostornaia better claw their way back to the podium if they want a trip to China. He has a chance. Her fight will be brutal.

But, this does mean Samarin might be at Neblehorn after all!. Better run boy.

Those test skates and early challenges are going to be very interesting.
