#TeamTrainwreck 8: See you at Nebelhorn!

[Jeschke]

Hahaha: 'is my son one of those boys???' Best ever

Oh 'mama', you better don't like this. Don't jinx it!

Few days from now we will read a comment like that: 'Is my daughter one of those girls?'

Folks, it's getting serious from now on in here!

We need to be more serious again

We have got another month or so until the Nebelhorn entries are published. That is when it will be time to get serious and for you to put the kibosh on certain team members who did not submit entries.

In the mean time, there is no need to be serious.

The third guy looking down and to his left at what?

Also, what's a level above bromance? If you scroll down to the rest of the pictures, Harley's trying very hard to give the impression he and Brandon are quite close.

additionally Park's olympic qualifier.

This might already be too much for me right from the start

Do we have a livestream for Zhang?
Starting orders?

 

[Jeschke]

Zhang and Miner last to skate - bless my soul

I am not ashamed to be once more delusional (we all know time is ticking for those 3)

CAROLINE. lands the 3flip! Struggled on 2nd 3loop but did the 3loop/3loop, 2axel, basically she was clean even though she wasn't. I don't know the score but I think she beat Polina! A great start for her. #teamzhang #SKAM17

In other news, Ross Miner in 4th. But a valiant effort!

 

[Karpenko]

OH MY GOD ITS A 67!!!! 2nd place! Silver medalist at glacier falls, short program. Our baby girl is all grown up and saving California

She got an EIGHT for interpretation! When does that happen? I don't see a 4.75 anywhere, oh what a wonderful surprise this is.

Give her that freakin' SKAM spot! #teamzhang #therapture #SKAM17

 

[Jeschke]

Zhang 67pts, take that bitchezz!
We all know it's an early summer U.S. competition (Wang won over Miyahara last season ) and she won't get 31pcs internationally, but hell yeah, that was a statement!

Kick ass Caroline! All the way! Until the bitter end!

I do like that Caroline has a cushion over the field, butt I fear that could end up being a whoopie cushion. #teamzhang #goodluck

She's doing East of Eden for us though and she's not Rachael Flatt

Seriously y'all, an 8!

 

[Jeschke]

She's doing East of Eden for us

Hell yeah! Go girl!

and she's not Rachael Flatt

I could not stand Flatt but folks, and I am brave enough to say it once more: Flatts 'East of Eden' was stunning! One of my fav ladies short program. So much power and energy, loved every second!

 

[Jeschke]

Now time to pray for Park

No, she's not Rachael Flatt, but guarantee she just pissed off Ashley Wagner. Way to in the SP, Caroline!

 

[Karpenko]

Good I hope it does, 2007 reunion in progress..



I kind of like Park's Black Swan, at least her music cut. I'll send her #goodluck too but I'm too busy waiting for glacier falls vids to pay attention.

 

[Jeschke]

Thanks to @Dobre

She did well in the short. Finished 2nd.

Top three:
Dabin CHOI 63.04
So youn PARK 60.51
Hanul KIM 56.36

Not sure about the order of the rest, but Nahyun KIM had 53.70, So hyun SON 52.39, So hyun AN had 47.20.

Go girl! Keep on fighting!

 

[Jeschke]

So here it is: the first #teamtrainwreck-competition-skate of the season:

Hoodie-Ross!
I like the fact he tried to go in a different direction; don't know if I like this style from him, but either way.
Enjoy your last season, and kick ass Ross!

All the way! Until the bitter end!

 

[Jeschke]

Caroline
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6REWVwyt_EY

Girl goes all-in this season; 2 jumps (incl. 3lo-3lo) in 2nd half!
Hell yeah!

I am pleased the steps have triple the speed of last seasons free skate

 

[Karpenko]

Karen Kwan listened to the advice and has been chasing her

The SS are light years better, spread eagle into her 3loop/3loop , musically significant spins, improved spins, Kwan music, I'm not just being delusional here she really should be going to SKAM!

Tara Lipinski has to comment on a performance with a 3loop/3loop, 20 years later, while Kwan's music is playing. That is fabulous.

Caroline Zhang has rocked my world! Most improved US lady award goes to her (so far). #teamzhang

 

[Jeschke]

And finally here is Park:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hF5-QfGExw

Girl is stunning beautiful!
C'mon!
Great steps, she should go more into the performance during the season! But great start after the injury!
#teampark
#homespot

 

[morqet]

Oh So-Youn looks so much better than she did in the practice videos! The steps coming straight out of the 2A are to die for

 

[alchemy void]

Park's SP is stunning, even at this early stage! So much better than the Joshi tribute she had last year!

She's coming back from injury, it's still only July, she needs a lot more speed, etc, but the foundation is there for a fantastic program at the Olympics.

 

[alchemy void]

Meite in 8th at Glacier Falls

Zhang was good, but I'm still rooting for Hicks to get the Skate America spot...

 

[rfisher]

Alas, Polina has grown into her legs and lost her jumps.

I want our team member Gold to make the US team, then I'm open to Caroline, Karen or Polina. Frankly all four are worthy #TTW members as they can be brilliant or It's a matter of time before Karen is added to the roster, but I'd be very happy if any of them go to Korea in February.

Bossman, enjoy Ross while you can.
