#TeamTrainwreck 24: For the weirdos and the dreamers!

[Kateri]

Medal chances didn't impact Frangi's inclusion

Frangi can hit 230 on a good day, he just doesn't usually have those! Thus: heartbreaking.

 

[kwanfan1818]

And Hiwatashi's PB is 240.X at 2020 4C's. Still only got him 9th.

Tomono and Kvitelashvili just blew away their PB's in the SP, from high 80's to 95.x.

 

[rfisher]

Being hot is not a Criterion. Being heartbreaking is.

The criteria is if Bossman thinks they're hot.

The criteria is if Bossman thinks they're hot.

We're that so, van hostage would have been on the Team ages ago.

He's a special exception.

I'm coming out of the closet: my Eva Lotus Kiibus TTW nomination will be forthcoming.

(((Eva-Lotta)))

I'm coming out of the closet: my Eva Lotus Kiibus TTW nomination will be forthcoming.

If we put her on, and then Bossman kicks her off, we might salvage her career for her.

 

[SamuraiK]

The criteria is if Bossman thinks they're hot.

Which with each year that passes it becomes more puzzling at who actually meets that criteria.

 

[SamuraiK]

Slightly known kid apparently is another case of those who are brilliant when there's nothing to lose, and a mess when there's something to prove.

 

[Elisheba]

Eva-Lotte breaks my heart and has amazing costumes

Rostelecom Day 1 Men:

• The way Romsky moves is just incredibly beautiful
• Is this Tanaka's final international outing? (((@SmallFairy )))
• Mark: campaign ride.
• So damn that Tomono finally seems solid and has no chance at all making the olympic team
• Camden, that little bastard
• Kinda rough by Semenenko but I like the guilty pleasure vibe of all his programs.
• RUS dudes: they could have sent the 3 Volchkova boys, no difference
• Moris
• Rizzo never been hotter; I am still all drama never having seen the Johnny Cash SP though

Best Dressed: Mark
Do-Hard: Rizzo

 

[Karen-W]

Rostelecom Day 1 Men:

• Camden, that little bastard

He's begging to re-board the train and become the next poster child!

 

[Jeschke]

Rostelecom Day 1 Ice Dance:

Khuda/Bazin: Love the finger point twizzles. But boy their programs this year are meh as ****.
LTU: It kills me those 2 most likely won't make it to Beijing
Hawayek/Baker: I waited all this time for them for getting such a meh vibe? Meh!
Danada: His earring is so

Best Dressed: Bazin, neck upwards (I am a sucker for guys with bandanas), Sinitsina
Do-Hard: Bazin, Kirill

 

[Braulio]

Well he got in because he's hot. There are criteria and there are criteria.

Hot? well if Samarin is, why not Frangi?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Danada: His earring is so

I noticed that as well, has he worn that before?

 

[Braulio]

I noticed that as well, has he worn that before?

Not until this season and just for the rhythm dance iirc

 

[skatingguy]

Is this Tanaka's final international outing? (((@SmallFairy )))

Probably gets to go to Estonia.

Rostelecom notes day 1
Rizzo- this Season it’s always a Poor short program and then a good free skate.
Brendan- I wish he would show joy in his skating. I don’t think I’ve ever seen joy from him
Kolyada- He’s grown on me over the past year but just not consistent
Morisi- I mean it’s one of two ways - last in a short program or just about first. Nothing in between.

H&B - agree with @Jeschke it needed more
Danadian - surprised they almost ended up in fourth. Love the earring
Team Babs- much improved costumes, I actually like the program more with these costumes
Stepanova/Sinitsina & Nikita- how many bowling shirts does he own?

MTM2 - I have to look away for the twist every time this year, I’m surprise she even wants to go for the triple
DM&G - zzzzzz
L&M- Cannot wait till they get higher scores, I mean this is an American team that has elements without under rotations and falls
M&G - I guess everyone can be proven it’s not a guarantee
Team Hot Coach- never ever like them in the years before, but I think they could be my favorite team now. I just love them now.

Ryabova- it was all said in the PBP thread
Loena- uggg should definitely be in third place with her talent
Bell- I’m loving her upper body, reminds me of Dorothy Hamill. Strange that her and Karen can do triple/doubles in a short program and get a score like that and Glenn does the triple triple and scores less
La Tuk- punching her ticket for the Olympics
Alissa Czisny- I’m liking it more and more

 

[Dobre]

Tomono took the wrong (right) turn heading for the station…

He's sitting in exactly the same place after the SP that Brezina was sitting in at Europeans prior to making the team for the third time.

 

[Vagabond]

Every time I see a reference to H&B on FSU, I visualize a team of Madison Hubbell and Evan Bates.

#teamblond

 

[SamuraiK]

Happy for Tomono. Olympics is a stretch but he could make a trip to worlds again this season.

 

[Vagabond]

Egad!: Tutberidze probably used whatever Georgian curse words her father taught her.
Romsky: He would mess up on the triple axel, wouldn't he?
Tanaka:
Aussie: Dude should try some upbeat music. Should try smiling too.
Unknown kid: I hear the train a comin'/It's rollin' 'round the bend/And I ain't seen the sunshine/Since I don't know when.
Tomono: With ice coverage like that, his SS marks should be lower than 7.50, not higher.
Big Bro Dad: There is no "Eu" in "Short Program"!
Karen's BF: The tech panel was kind. Your GF can teach you how to do a 3Z+2T without overrotating the second jump.
Semenenko: He moves with the music but doesn't yet know how to interpret it.
Nutcracker: This may be in the tribute video when he is inducted into the #TTW Hall of Fame.
:
Rizzo: There is nothing prohibiting Italy from having a second spot on the Men's Team.

Rostelecom Day 1 Ice Dance:

Khuda/Bazin: Love the finger point twizzles. But boy their programs this year are meh as ****.
LTU: It kills me those 2 most likely won't make it to Beijing
Hawayek/Baker: I waited all this time for them for getting such a meh vibe? Meh!
Danada: His earring is so

Best Dressed: Bazin, neck upwards (I am a sucker for guys with bandanas), Sinitsina
Do-Hard: Bazin, Kirill

Which one

 

[Jeschke]

Rostelecom Day 1 Pairs:

Kadyrova/Balchenko: couldn't focus, as their isu bio does not list 'aladdin' as thir fs anymore, but 'prince pf persia' instead
Mitrofanov: desperately needs better tailored pants!
Pavliuchenko/Khodykin: Her tights I so damn need them in Beijing instead of B/K.
AUT. Is this a new program? Cannot tell. Zzzzh. Sorry, that's a team I just don't connect to at all.
ITA. Rooting for them for some kind of nostalgy effect but meh meh meh program. No spark.
MTM. I don't get it. They are with sister-Marcotte now too? Or is this still an entire team? I am confused.
Galliamov. The grin to start still does it for me, the rest of this program I have seen too often. And I am starting to get meh about his posture. Guess this happens when you're not blinded by total porniness anymore
Overall: Daria leading and Mishina reaction

Best Dressed: -
Do-Hard: Galliamov

 

[Jeschke]

Which one

Fair question.
The one you not prefer to see on Beijing ice next year.
If this still applies for both: daddy one

Still have to make up my mind about the look changes for Kirill#2.

 

[Jeschke]

Rostelecom Day 1 Women:

Matsuike. That sealed the deal for her olympic chances.
Schizas. CAN ladies....zzzh. What happened to Ruiter (and her awesome splats?) @RoseRed is there selection criteria fot olympic spot or just national champ?
Mikutina. Badass outfit. Schaller got so good this season, need to recheck AUT criteria. But this was her first outing, so...
Safonova. I love her actual pure, big skating. A shame the pesentation is a big meh still.
Random mid note seeing Vasiliev in knc: What happened to Korovin? Wasn't he supposed to skate with some PHI girl?
Bunnygirl. #tickettotallinn
Kiibus. Petrokina for worlds is getting more and more realisitc.
Hendrickx. She is for sure the only spoiler lady, if one RUS lady decides to falter at Euros. Messy though.
Kurakova. Schott for Euros Top5.
Khromykh. CS POL continues...a shame. I have a soft spot for her.
Valieva. Preferred old dress.
Ryabova. I am starting to sound like @alchemy void but who the **** gets the 2nd AZE euros spot? There are only 2 AZE listed in ISU SB's list, and Beverly Wooden does not even meet criteria
LaTuk. It will suck for 1 of the 4 in contention being left off, but of course it will suck so much more if this one will be Tuk Audience support
Overall. Camera dude missing jumps again. Drunk or bedazzled by @Ka3sha flirt attacks?

Best Dressed: Jorik
Do-Hard: Jorik

 

[Jeschke]

I didn't realise TomoNO was under consideration, I thought TomoKI was! Or were both??

One is, one is not.
Let's wait for Tomono FS. He could put himself in with a glorious meltdown today

 

[Jeschke]

Being hot is not a Criterion. Being heartbreaking is.
