#TeamTrainwreck 23: Perky through the ages!

[Karen-W]

They both realized #TTW has no pairs team?

But achieving #TTW status as a pairs team takes exceptional talent and skill since pairs is basically a #TTW event no matter what due to the sheer number of teams who struggle with their SBS jumps and still manage to medal or make the final 2 flights at ISU Championships.

Pairs should be the easiest discipline for Team membership. I put the chronic scarcity of Pairs on the Team down to a lack of heartbreak.

After their very first international senior competition, I will be campaigning for Panfilova/Rylov like crazy. It will be beyond heartbreaking if one of the best pair teams at every single element except one, aren't OGM in 4 years. My heart is already broken. Or worse if they break up.

They did skate at Rostelecom Cup last season against the Hungarian pair. I was all for including them, but da bossman said Nein.

Well, he's going to be softened up after Nebelhorn, so we'll just have to try harder. Rostelecom last season was pretty much just another internal comp. I'll give them a for real senior comp and then start the campaign. Assuming they actually compete together again.

Panfilova/Rylov is as most #ttw as it gets. So much love, so much hope every time (a triple jump this time???) so much

 

[alchemy void]

I can't believe Weinzierl is actually going to compete this season? Good for her. Hopefully she achieves her goals!

Pressman - I denied P/R? Bizarre!
Give me proof!
i would search myself, but Italy holiday still on!

Or on boss standards: hot dude and double-jumps-only-girl

You are really pushing it, boss, with that line about the holiday in Italy, but your long-suffering Pressman will oblige just this once.

My post

The good news is that Naumov and Panfilova & Rylov are IN!!!!!

Your post

Panfilova/Rylov. Well well well. This might be your lucky punch folks

But you left them off the Team in that very same post and have never included them.

Having skated against the Hungarians should count for something. They're not just another Pair from Petersburg.

Oh, well!

Maria Talalaikina is going to represent Italy starting from this season (will move there and train with Angelina Turenko), Anastasia Gubanova is switching to Armenia (she is staying in Russia and with Rukavitsin)

Смена гражданства российскими фигуристками. Маша Талалайкина будет выступать за Италию, Настя Губанова за Грузию.

Сразу несколько новостей о смене гражданства прилетало в это межсезонье, но последние новости безусловно затмевают все предыдущие. Фигуристки такого уровня из России еще не уезжали. Куракова, Рябова, Сафонова, Шаботова - это топ-4 фигуристок из России сменивших гражданство. Теперь этот топ разом...

OMG Gubanova Finally. Euros and the Olympics here we come, baby

 

[Jeschke]

#missionteambronze is back on for Italy!
Forza!

 

[Colonel Green]

(((Galustyan)))

If Gubanova doesn't have Armenian citizenship, maybe she could secure a spot at Nebelhorn that Galustyan could then take!

#missionteambronze is back on for Italy!

For 2026, maybe. I can't imagine she has citizenship.

 

[Jeschke]

Btw I am in Vatican right now.
If we’d known that in advance that this is all it takes

 

[her grace]

Gubanova!!! Get it, girl!

You prayed to the special saints!

If that's the case, whoo hoo for Panfilova's triple jumps.

You have to sacrifice pray to the REALLY special saints for that.

Gubanova to means many more years of official!

At least they can both compete at Euros. It could wind up being the women's version of Spain's ice dance rivalry - always 2 entries for Euros but never quite good enough to earn a 2nd spot at Worlds or for the Olympics.

 

[SmallFairy]

Seriously?? OMG what news!

The pre-season keeps on giving.

 

[SmallFairy]

As twilight zone has arrived, all is now officially possible!

 

[SmallFairy]

@Jeschke Surely Panfilova/Rylov is on the team? If they’re not worthy, we will never have another pair on the team.

 

[SamuraiK]

Well, it was about time Russia Z team realized they had to become import products or face expiration date.

 

[SamuraiK]

Panfilova & Rylove are really nice but I cant feel an once of hearbtreak for a team that does not get triples.. Junior charity / Ted Brown softy aprroach this aint. Not sorry.
