#TeamTrainwreck 23: Perky through the ages!

[SamuraiK]

I just read the news about Mum Kids.

Huge hugs for ((((@taz'smum ))))) and wishing Tiff a speedy recovery.

 

[SamuraiK]

I highly recommend watching Samarain and Sokolovskaya having a big laugh over Samrain's 74.46 SP putting him in first place. That entire SP event was

LMAO!! Gotta respect and admire the self awareness and thanks Samarin for letting me know that SP is totally skippable.

Re @Kelvster proposal.
Jenni is lacking main criteria for me: heartbreak potential.

Thoughts?

I think she is heartbreaking. Just watch any of her long programs.

She's like Cohen or Makarova (anyone remember her??).. Great SPs but you just know they will implode the next day.

 

[Jeschke]

Makarova (anyone remember her??)

That you even ask the question in here!
Maria and the violin's string forever!

and thanks Samarin for letting me know that SP is totally skippable.

I hate to admit you're right!
Usually his team brings some weird stuff which somehow fit him but this one is just meh.

But who cares? I love the team spirit in Sokolovskaya's gang. She has a decent team together and seems to have a great connection to her kids. Love it.

Thank you!

Thank you!

You know that even if she's not an official member of the #TTW (thank the Gods for that), that Tiff and Jon hold a special place on all the regular TTW thread posters hearts, as do you. Just when she gets her knees healed, something else comes along. I hope she's back on the ice soon.

Yap, Zakharova's speed is
She is (unfortunately) one of those having fallen out a jgpf. She would have had decent chances of 1st or 2nd finish at Courchevel JGP and guaranteed a 2nd entry then

ITA she was one of the Russian skaters who really got screwed by not being able to skate in France. Next year!

I was talking about the whole event. A SP competition where the lead is 74 pts.. welll...

Samarin himself being skippable is always a no brainer for me XD.

Well, it was a Men's SP.

 

[SmallFairy]

Get well soon (((Tiff)))!!

Vice, sit down please.
@Laney, breathe.

Switching to U.S.?

Now, I'm going to be forced to watch one of the US qualifier events. He hasn't competed in nearly 3 years!

 

[kwanfan1818]

Oh, no, I thought that Jon was ill, but Tiffany too? Or just Tiffany?

I'm so sorry TJ and @taz'smum .

If Junior actually competes for the USA, I will lose my shit. So random. And if he unleashes the 3Lz+3F combo again I will have to do something drastic to show my support.

What if he lands the 4A he was attempting?

 

[kwanfan1818]

Twitter will melt down like Facebook did.

 

[Kateri]

@alchemy void has to get a tattoo of him. I was gonna say of his face, then I decided to allow options.

 

[alchemy void]

Honestly the insane 3Lz+3F is more interesting to me than 4A. And we all know the 4A is pretty much hopeless.

Does that mean you won't get a tattoo? How much would a 3Lz-3F be? His name in a discrete place?

@Sylvia has been doing some great investigative work on Twitter (like always):

https://twitter.com/SylviaUnseen/status/1448701977026826240

Honestly, I feel like this is all some sort of weird clerical mix-up. Like the volunteer who put together the entry lists for the Atlanta event was naturally daydreaming about Junior and accidently added him to the list of entries. Or a copy/paste error or something. Trust me, I'd love to be wrong, though!

It's bizarre. After stalking Dmitriev and his wife(!!!) on Instagram, it seems neither have recently been in the US. However, Junior is on the ice and here he is doing his iconic 3Lz+3F combo 2 weeks ago in Moscow:

Even if he just wanted to compete in a small club competition, he'd have plenty of options in Russia and not necessitate a trip to the USA, particularly with the ongoing pnademic. Quite an intriguing mystery.

Perhaps a WE'RE WITH YOU, ALWAYS AND FOREVER banner....

This KnC already made the Tursy-POTS-longlist

Samarin and Sokolovskaya laughing hard realizing that leads should almost make Tursy-POTS

Samarin
Samarin's programs
Samarin and Sokolovskaya in the Kiss and Cry

Imagine how much more fun it would have been if Tsareva had been there instead of Sokolovskaya!

My application for Saarinen’s membership has sadly been strengthened yet again .. with her disastrous LP (Landing only one triple toe). Sigh! She’s such a beautiful skater!

I hope that I can withdraw my application come Nationals / Euros time

Shoutout to puppy#3!

Awesome program, shirt @alchemy void is loving, Volchkova-boys-nipple-spin, reaction at end Boss is loving.

@SmallFairy will be delighted!

 

[Jeschke]

There is another Panfilova skating single ladies at Panin Memorial.
Who is she @Ka3sha ?

Nugu, Ignatov, Gumennik, Kolyada skating too

 

[alchemy void]

I really enjoyed Shmuratko! It felt like he should have been on the podium with two strong programs, particularly considering what a shitshow the short programs were.

I think he should be upgraded to pup #1 since one was already put to rest and the second somehow morphed into an Elvis bland crowd sell out.

I need such photo with the regulars of #ttw
